08 | Rethinking Evangelism in an Age of Quiet Belief

July 16, 2026

In this episode, David Kinnaman sits down with Ashley LaLonde, Barna's Head of Insights, to explore new data showing that 80% of Americans believe there's a spiritual or supernatural dimension to life. Together, they unpack what it looks like to live an invitational life instead of delivering a rehearsed pitch, and why prayer, honesty, and proximity to people outside the church are becoming the most powerful tools for gospel conversations today.Episode Links
