While there are several inhibitors, there are 2 major barriers today undermining the rapid spread of the gospel: 

BARRIERS TO CHRISTIANS

There are longstanding spiritual, cultural, and intellectual habits and/or traditions among most Christians that have become barriers to talking freely about Christ.

  • FEAR 

  • SHALLOW CHRISTIAN CULTURE 

  • UNWILLINGNESS TO GIVE UP WORLDLINESS  

  • CULTURAL CHRISTIANS 

  • STARTING A GOSPEL CONVERSATION

BARRIERS TO NON-CHRISTIANS

There is an overlapping, but different set of spiritual, cultural, and intellectual barriers non-Christians have, that keep them from hearing about, knowing, and trusting Christ. 

  • SPIRITUAL LOSTNESS 

  • DISCONNECT FROM ULTIMATE TRUTH 

  • LACK OF TRAINING 

  • ADHERENCE TO MORAL RELATIVISM 

  • LOSS OF MEANING 

  • LOSS OF IDENTITY
