Who Are the Nones and How Can We Reach Them? - Dr. Ryan Burge

Dr. Ryan Burge, author of “The Nones: Where They Came From, Who They Are, and Where They Are Going,” talks about ways Christians can engage in reaching those who do not hold to any particular belief system, a quickly growing segment of our society.
