Understanding how people come to faith is essential for effective evangelization. This resource introduces the “Five Thresholds of Postmodern Conversion”, adapted for Catholic ministry from the work of Don Everts, Doug Schaupp, and Sherry Weddell (Forming Intentional Disciples). It outlines the gradual journey many people take toward discipleship—from initial trust to curiosity, openness, seeking, and finally, intentional commitment to follow Jesus.

Each threshold includes:

• A clear explanation of the spiritual and relational dynamics at play
• Scriptural examples and pastoral strategies
• Personal and parish application questions
• Guidance for accompanying others with patience, prayer, and intentional presence

Ideal for: ministry leaders, evangelization teams, and anyone walking with others on the path of conversion, this guide offers both encouragement and practical tools to recognize where someone is on their journey and how to walk with them toward Christ.
