Christians need to find new starting points for sharing faith in secular cultures:
Learn where people are starting
Identify why sharing your faith feels so difficult and understand why the people around you seem so disinterested in Christian faith.
Know the questions people are asking
Learn how people in our current culture determine what is true and identify the very practical questions that people in our culture are asking.
Learn to stir spiritual curiosity
Understand the signposts and clues that God has put in everyone of us that reveal our soul. Learn to stir up those longings and encounter Jesus.

Main course
Start to Stir hits the right level for young people to invite their friends to. Deep enough for people to explore spirituality and wide enough to accept where people are at.

FAQ’s
Just give it a go, even if you only have two or three people to start with. Invite individuals who are uncertain about faith to come for six weeks to ‘explore faith’ or ‘consider their spirituality’. Lead them through Stir Pack 1. Then give them the opportunity to stop there or continue further.
Stir has been used in several youth group, club and drop-in settings. Your approach will depend on whether you have a slot where everyone stops and listens to input from the front or if you have no set structure and people freely come and go.
Stir can be adapted to use with children. Older children will benefit from the concept that humans are more than bodies and brains. Children of all ages will easily engage with the sessions that explore the life of Jesus and how we can begin a relationship with God through him.
If your church is running a café, Stir can be a great way to stimulate spiritual conversations at individual tables and create opportunities for people to explore further. (Stir would probably be a bit too tricky to adapt to Messy Church due to the wide range of ages.)
We think the Stir material is great for School Assemblies. The sessions can help you meet the school’s PSHE/RSHE requirements, inform students about the Christian faith and serve as an opportunity to invite students to a follow-up Stir group.
