Unchurched Friend Interview #2


Sex: Male Age: 21
1. What are you reasons for not going back to a church that you visited once or any church?

 Limited amount of time.

2. Was there something that kept you away from a church or from not going back to a certain church?
 Not in particular.

3. What do you think the purpose of church is?
Worship God

4. Did you feel welcome when you walked into church? If not, why?
Yes

5. Do you think there are areas in the church that could be improved or made better? If so, what could be improved?
 Not specifically the church. I've had people not like me because of my religion as opposed to who I am and my values. Which sends a bad message toward me. Then again there are people in every type of group that make poor choices.

6. What would make the enviornment of the church more inviting to you?
Church always seems very inviting. I have no advice there

7. Do you believe in the one true God? If not, how come?
 No. I have not been able to put my faith in the bible.

8. Is there a way that the pastor and teachers at the church could make it easier for you to understand what they are preaching about?
 So far I have been able to understand what I learned at church very well.

9. Do you think that a Christian should go to church on a regular basis? If yes, why, if no, why?
Yes, from what I understand the bible tells them to. Not to mention if you believe in something to that extent, I think it is important for the person to experience it weekly and make sure it stays real in their lives.

10. Do you think that going to church every sunday could change your life around?
 I'm not sure I want my life turned around so to speak. I am super happy with my life!. I'm always open to finding ways to improve though. I know the values instilled within people at church, are great values that help to turn their lives around.




I was actually really amazed at the answers that i got here. This man was completely honest with me and said how he really felt and actually gave me length to his answers. I was actually very interested in his answer to number 5. It's quite different and i am curious as to what his religion is. The fact that he hasn't been able to put his faith in the Bible and not believing in God is really mind blowing to me in a way. So given that he has understood what we is being preached when he does attend church he knows what the truth is but because he is so enjoying his life right now he doesn't want God, he doesn't want to give up his life for Jesus Christ. I think he is learning a lot and i really believe that God is going to work in his life and i think God may be getting ready to show him some things but maybe just isn't seeing yet. So my thoughts on this interview and how it went, was that it went really well and some of the answers that i got really makes me think a little bit more because here this person believes in God but seems like he picks and chooses what he wants and what he can do and can't do and i'm not sure that he is ready to give up everything to follow after God. I hope that in the future he is ready to give up everything to run after the one and only King of the universe.
