Takeaways
Growing up with a moral compass and basic Bible literacy is common in many testimonies, but it may not provide a deep understanding of theology.
Experiencing a period of rebellion and bad decisions can lead to a spiritual awakening and a deeper appreciation for God's grace.
Biblical literacy and a Judeo-Christian worldview are no longer starting points in a postmodern society, and the church needs to adapt its methods of sharing the gospel.
The church should focus on being a blessing to the community and showing the beauty of the gospel before expecting people to conform to a biblical worldview.
