EPISODE NOTES:

 

Where do unbelievers get their greatest source of information on Christians and Christianity from?  What are the main issue blockers stopping unbelievers from investigating having a faith in Christ?  How do unbelievers view the person of Jesus Christ?  Host Tori Walker  talks with Sophie Renton from McRindle Research about the work she did on the “Faith and Belief in Australia” study and the impact she hopes it will have for Christians today.

 

***

Sophie Renton is a social researcher, trends analyst and Director of Research at the internationally recognised McCrindle. As an experienced researcher, Sophie understands how evidence-based insights can inform strategy and help organisations to thrive amidst change.

 

From her experience in leading the team at McCrindle, Sophie assists organisations by bringing a clearer picture to complex problems. Sophie is adept in sharing strategic insights that guide CEOs and executive teams in leading their organisations.

 

Beyond her commercial work Sophie is passionate about investing in Christian leaders, equipping them to understand the times so they can lead with wisdom and insight.

SHOW SNIPPETS:

 

“I remember feeling the most overwhelming joy and trust in God that I still cannot describe”

 

“In the census it’s one question.  Anyone with a faith knows that it’s a lot more than one question’s worth to explain that journey.”

 

“How do we stay true to what the truth is, but also present it in a way that draws people in, rather than puts walls up?” 

 

“One of the greatest attractors to investigating religion and spirituality is someone who is living out a genuine and authentic faith”

 

“We love to resource leaders, to help them make evidence-based decisions”  

 

“I think one of the challenges with Christians is that we can be very involved in our churches and almost get in a bubble from what reality is” 

 

(not Sophie saying this) “Negative feelings come from things that happen inside the church.  Maybe try to push the Jesus thing, rather than come to church to find out about Jesus.”  

 

“The same God of the mountain is the same God of the valley”
