Not everyone who wants a meaningful relationship with God wants a relationship with church. As a matter of fact, a growing number of people who identify as “spiritual but not religious” have no desire for such a relationship... at least not as it is currently understood by most “churchy” people. Listen in to this Extra Shot episode as Karin Peter talks about the people and things with which this group does connect. Find out where their interests lie, and why the church may be missing the mark.  Don’t worry, Karin will offer some suggestions to get us on track with this very justice-minded community.
