It seems nothing not even God can break through to reach them. If they lost their job that wouldn't convince them to reconsider their life. If they contracted a horrible illness that wouldn't draw them to Christ. If they lost their kids that won't do it. With some people you just know they are never going to give their life to Christ. They won't accept the God who sends people to Hell, for example. And they are just too selfish to come to the cross as helpless sinners to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior. I'm serious about this, because this is their exact condition. So better to deliver the gospel to someone else. For example, one person I know insists initial salvation and to remain saved requires works, but of course, the Bible says, salvation is not by works lest anyone should boast.
