Is your church offering sweetness without substance?

When people break through your barriers, what do they find?

According to Eric Bryant, co-author of the Uprising Experience with Erwin McManaus, "Sometimes, what we offer as a church is missing what Jesus intended."

Churches can become preoccupied with the surface, teaching people to say the right things and sing the right songs but missing the opportunity for true connection and transformation.

In this inspiring session, Eric Bryant uses the metaphor of a piñata to help church leaders examine the ways their community responds to people of diverse cultures, philosophies and lifestyles.

You'll learn principles for reaching, loving and serving people who, look, act and believe differently.

As Eric says, "Too often the world around us is more aware of who we hate rather than who we love and how we love."

Find out how to offer, not just something that is sweet to believe in, but truly transformational.

Learn how to become a light in our post-Christian, post-modern world:

• Recognize the importance of meeting need.
• Develop authentic friendships.
• Allow people to belong before they believe.
• And more!

Break through tolerance and learn what it means to love and sacrifice for the people Jesus loves!
