Don't overreact: language shifts and the coffee-shop evidence

Reading Barna president David Kinnaman's warning about a feelings-first culture, a host cautions against overreacting: language shifts, and what reads as evangelism-hostility may be a reaction against behaviorist, exterior-focused Christianity. His counter-evidence: 6:30 a.m. coffee shops full of millennial men doing Bible studies. Millennials, he argues, care about heart and intention first and are less willing to interject behavioral guidelines at people who do not recognize Jesus's authority — yet loving people enough to tell them the truth remains a quality thing. Billy Hollowell and Samuel James reactions are quoted and pushed back on.
