In this 7-minute interview, Bishop Vashti McKenzie (National Council of Churches, US) reflects on the power of prayer, the importance of ensuring that western church structures do not impede the Gospel from reaching spiritually open Americans and what opportunities she sees for the future impact of the Church.
Throughout the interview, Bishop McKenzie offers insights from her own experiences, both personal and professional, to share:
- both the opportunities and challenges facing the Church in the U.S. today when it comes to spiritual openness,
- how the shared practice of prayer can be a starting point into deeper conversations about Jesus with those who are spiritually open,
- why it's important to ensure your church's framework does not create obstacles for spiritually curious people to learn more about Christ,
- and the need for entrepreneurial and visionary leaders to rise up not to manage church congregations, but to engage with spiritually open people in their spheres of influence.
