Description

The typical church in the United States is growing older and growing smaller. Research indicates that as many as half of the people growing up in church today will end up walking away from their religious affiliation. For those of us that are still here, that news can be hard to hear.

Jake Mulder, coauthor of the book "Growing Young" is one of an expanding movement of people working to educate faith communities on how to rebuild relationships with their young people. In this first episode, Jake shares some of the basic foundational insights he's gained as to where some of the disconnection is coming from- and what to do about it.
