What if spiritual openness isn’t disappearing—but changing?
On this week’s episode of The Sowers Podcast, Matt is joined by Andy Smits, National Director of Power to Change–Students, for a deeply hopeful and honest conversation about faith, culture, and evangelism in post‑Christian Canada.
Andy has spent over two decades walking alongside university students across the country—and what he’s seeing may surprise you. Instead of resistance or hostility, he’s seeing curiosity without categories. A generation open to spirituality, but without the “mental furniture” to understand Christianity.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why evangelism today often looks gradual, not dramatic
How assumptions about spiritual “closedness” are holding us back
What it means to live missionally when Christians no longer “set the table”
Why ordinary relationships may be the most powerful witness we have
🎧 Listen now and be encouraged: the harvest is still plentiful—if we have eyes to see it.
