The Back Story
17 minutes
Cru City asked people in cities across the United States about their experience with Christians, Christian organizations, and how likely they are to join us in our efforts.
The results are sobering and, if we listen, we believe followers of Jesus can experience increased fruitfulness and response from the very people who say our Christianity isn’t authentic or relevant.
Watch as a team of people take the time to listen to everyday people around us. In this 17 minute preview of the series, you will hear why this research process kicked off, listen in to the voices of people interviewed about their views of Christians, and get a glimpse of the learnings which can shape your engagement of the people around you.
Our Problem to Solve
