S6:01 | Breathing Life into the Next Generation

Let's kick off season 6 of this podcast by raising some important statistics and questions! We are in one of the most significant spiritual declines in recently recorded history. Sociologists and groups like Barna, Pew, and Springtide Research are all keeping a close watch on the trajectory of faith within the next generation, and the numbers are alarming. 70 percent (and growing) of young people are walking away from their faith in their 20s. These are not youth who have heard the Gospel once long ago. These are children raised in Christian homes, regular church attendees, mission trip goers, and Jesus-professing youth — 70 percent! So, how do we raise up the next generation? How do we do more than manage decline but reverse the numbers entirely?
