Thousands of people in Australia and around the world, are De-Churched. How do we reach this demographic? Many of the De-Churched were highly involved in local congregations and through some type of crisis the situation changed. Natasha Rae is the founder of the Morph Clinic in Geelong, Victoria. She has almost three decades of experience working with people. Natasha worked in church circles for a long time before a crisis led her in a new direction. Today she works as a Positive Psychological Practitioner with schools and heads her own clinic.
In this episode Natasha talks candidly about her personal journey to becoming De-churched and explains through her professional lens what may be helpful in reaching out to those who have walked away from Church.
