The Unsaved Christian

Reaching Cultural Christianity with the Gospel

About this book

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.
