Barna Group has done research and revealed reasons why young people are leaving the Church. The reasons they listed were:
- Isolationism
- Shallowness
- Anti-science
- Sex
- Exclusivity
- Doubters
In this episode I go through the first three reasons and shares personal stories of how students are struggling with isolationism, shallowness, and anti-scientific claims. I then list a few ways in which we can address these issues with our students.
Have you had any students list any of these reasons for why they are struggling with their faith?
