They're Just Not Interested: Rediscovering our Faith and Approaching Nonbelievers with the Faith of a Wrestler

While a relationship with Jesus ChristÂ is still a leading notion and aspect within the Christian faith, it is often overshadowed by a focus on the rational mind.Whether a theologian or lay Christian, we have all, to some degree, been impacted by this focus on 'proper thinking' and doctrine as it pertains to God, to the point that we inadvertently apply salvific qualities to them. According to contemporary research, roughly 15% of the American population considers themselves open to spirituality but lacks any interest in Christianity, or any other organized religion. This accounts for more than double the percentage of atheists and agnostics combined. Author Michael Fessler suggests that the 15% of nonbelievers are not looking for something to appeal to their intellect; they're looking for something to stir excitement and truth within their hearts. Fessler promotes the "faith of a wrestler" and suggests that the church should share the gospel with others through this particular lens of faith; a faith which is centered on a relationship with Christ, one which acknowledges that in any relationship there are times of struggle, confusion, doubt, and uncertainty - times of wrestling. And of course with such times of wrestling comes the opportunity for deeper trust and intimacy. It's a faith which recognizes too that we live in a fallen world, a world which holds terrible misfortunes and suffering. It's with this that we wrestle as well. Within this theological discovery is the author's own personal journey which helps to accentuate the core of his message.They're just not interested. But perhaps they will be.
