Sunday a friend at church said with sadness that when her son went away to college he pretty much stopped going to church. Unfortunately, that's happening a lot. The Barna group recently reported, “... about 3 out of 10 people who grow up with a Christian background stay faithful to the church and to faith throughout their transition from the teen years through their 20s”. LifeWay Research found the same thing—30% stay, 70% leave. The first time I came across those figures I was shocked. It's tempting to blame peer pressure or professors teaching about evolution. But the young people say that’s not the case; they put the problem inside the church. So what are they seeing in us that makes them want to leave? I'm sure there are no easy answers, but it's something we need think about.
