Brother Eric Shorey and his family are from Maine. Eric did not grow up in a Christian home or church. Many Christians do not know what this like. Sometimes testimonies focus on how God delivered a person from a life of sin. In this topic Eric does not talk so much about deliverance from a life of sin, but he will be more focused on helping us understand what it is like to grow up in a non-Christian setting. This message can inspire us to reach out to our neighbors and help us understand better the thoughts and perspectives of those who live life without hope!

This message was given at the Church Growth Seminar 2021, which is a segment organized by the Church Planters’ Forum.
