Why have 65 million left Christianity in the last 3 decades? Why does Gen Z have twice as many atheist as any other generation? Why are Christians fearful, lacking faith and full of anxiety? Would it suprise you to know that a massive amount of people who attend church in America are not Christians? Is it the seeker sensitive way of doing church that has caused this? Would it surprise you to know that the average American who attends the average church each Sunday never hears the gospel preached? Why is that? How can we reach Gen Z? How can we see America turned around? What if it is much less about trying to be relavant that matters and much more about being Biblical? Watch this and find out? https://youtu.be/-_EYF6_LB5I
@ChrisHarrison I touch on this in one of my upcoming Andy B 2 Minute Videos....out this Wednesday evening (UK) titled A Busy Business
It's a bigger epedemic than Covid, that's for sure!
Thanks for your YouTube link - will check it out when I can

@Berrybunchfamily thank you and I will check out yours as well.
@ChrisHarrison I was once in a meeting, with a group of churches planning another holiday club, together
One of their written down, stated intentions, was "to show that they were not a dead church"
I wasn't very popular during that meeting. I didn't let that one alone!!
In the UK we're dominated by coffee shops, a reliance on building hire to make money, and anything that makes the church look trendy.
1 particular scourge is Messy Church. Such a nightmare of a thing, but it's popular because it makes churches feel good cos it gets people in the building, but without actually engaging them with Jesus Christ. it's just a cheap couple of hours of childcare that generates more serious troubles than I can type out here...so many churches have grown very large ghost congregations; dozens of people who will never engage with church, but keep church people busy (it's very resource heavy!)
That one, in particular, gets me down - as someone passionate about engaging children with Jesus!
