Report: Objections to the Christian Faith from the unchurched and dechurched
Objections to the Christian Faith from the Unchurched and De-Churched is the focus of the Resurgence Report from Mars Hill
What do non-Christians really think about Christians and Jesus?
What do they say when we’re not in the room?
Though the cultural divide between Christians and non-Christians is growing, we are still missionaries with a God-given passion to see people meet Jesus and be rescued for eternity. To do this, it would help to know what they love, what they hate, what they think about Jesus, and what they believe about the big questions of life.
In 21st century America, what reasons do people give for rejecting Jesus? You may be surprised to know that there are nine objections to Christianity that are brought up again and again among an incredibly diverse population. Chances are, the people you’re trying to reach have the same questions and objections, even if they won’t voice them in polite conversation.
The Resurgence Report represents our effort to hear non-Christians speak from the heart so that we can better love our neighbors and humbly lead them toward truth, freedom, and joy in Jesus.
What is the report?
Together with market research companies, Gfk and Saurage Marketing Research, we put together a massive collection of data and resources by polling and interviewing un-churched and de-churched people across America.
Interviewed 8 focus groups in 4 cities (San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin, and Boston)
Conducted a telephone survey with 1,000 responses throughout the U.S.
What comes in the report?
Resurgence has made the entire report and all of our research available to you for free:
Phone Survey summary and responses from GfK.
List of the Top Objections to Christianity.
List of 1,000 verbatim responses to “What is your impression of Evangelical Christians?”
List of 1,000 verbatim responses to “Who is Jesus?”
Saurage Focus Groups summary.
10-minute audio clips of both men and women focus groups in 4 different cities.
Full transcripts from each focus group.
Who is this report for?
Pastors, Church Planters, Ministry Workers, Bible Students, Authors, Bloggers, and more. The Resurgence Report was built with ministry leaders in mind, but can be used by anyone, Christian or non-Christian, wishing to explore more about the objections to Christianity.
How do you define un-churched and de-churched?
Un-churched are those who have never attended a church regularly, and de-churched are those who once attended regularly but are no longer part of a church.
Our hope is this valuable research can be helpful for you as you prepare content such as sermons, books, or blog posts.

Why being the body of Christ requires God!!!
Why being the body of Christ....requires God.....
a/ It is ultimately God's body......think about it!!! The body needs to be constantly shaped by God!!! (this means every member needs to be shaped by HIS WORD, HIS SACRAMENTS AND HIS COMMUNITY!!!)
b/ Everyone in the body needs to be ministered to!!!
c/ Everyone in the body needs to minister to others in the body!!!
d/ Everyone in the body is called to take God's great news to those outside the body!!!
e/ Everybody in the body needs to be welcoming people on God's behalf!!
Try doing this without God, His word, His influence, His shaping.....it will be nothing more than a collection of people, no matter how good they look, that are more worried about themselves and how others see them...than God touching the lives of others through them!!!!
Check out the following passages:
2 Corinthians 1:8-11
1 Corinthians 12:12-31
Romans 12:3-8
Ephesians 4:1-16
Hebrews 10:19-25
Acts 2:42-47
