“…when a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is Spirit.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:16-18

The Unsaved Christian: Reaching Cultural Christianity with the Gospel
What to do when they say they’re Christian but don’t know Jesus
Whether it’s the Christmas and Easter Christians or the faithful church attenders whose hearts are cold toward the Lord, we’ve all encountered cultural Christians. They’d check the Christian box on a survey, they’re fine with church, but the truth is, they’re far from God. So how do we bring Jesus to this overlooked mission field?
The Unsaved Christian equips you to confront cultural Christianity with honesty, compassion, and grace, whether you’re doing it from the pulpit or the pews. This practical guide will:
show you how to recognize cultural Christianity
teach you how to overcome the barriers that get in the way
give you easy-to-understand advice about VBS, holiday services, reaching “good people,” and more!
If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure how to minister to someone who identifies as Christian but still needs Jesus, this book is for you.

Pain into Purpose
We’re Meg and Shannon. Two friends who each survived trauma, sought and found the Lord, and then ourselves.
Wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters in Christ we feel called to encourage other women to lean into God’s Word, to step into Truth, to see beyond the veil.
Our podcast episodes cover Biblical truth, spiritual warfare, worldly deception, and how, as women, we have an important role that helps shepherd our families and others to Jesus.
