Imagine 12 people sitting in a pub chatting about John’s Gospel.
Nobody checks their phone, nobody needs to leave. This is despite the fact none of them has been in church for years (some never).
Imagine sitting in an office meeting room where a Christian there has invited ten of his 20-something colleagues to listen to one of his Christian friends share his faith, give a brief introduction to John’s Gospel and then allow all to discuss what they’ve heard over a pizza lunch. The vast majority, having never considered Jesus or the church before, are listening intently and opening up to discuss the claims of Jesus in the most wonderfully open way for the very first time.
