It’s always a little awkward when someone asks me what I do, because there’s not an easy answer.
We are at a turning point in American Christianity. Christianity is not being passed from the older generation to the younger one. At an increasing rate, young people are leaving church. They are not always anti-Christianity (though sometimes they are). Many, however, simply don’t see the point in making it a priority in their lives.
Christians will often say that they want to hear from God. I want to ask them, “Do you really?”
