We’ve all heard the story: declining church attendance, particularly among younger generations, the rise of the “nones,” and the seemingly unstoppable emergence of the secular age. We know that stats: 48% of churches in the UK have fewer than five under 16 year olds, 95% of young people in the UK don’t go to church etc etc. It all seems like bad news…. 😔
But…
Could the tide be turning? According to Justin Brierley, author of The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, there is much reason for hope! 🙌
We discuss…
✅ The rise and fall of New Atheism
✅ The importance of embracing both the intellect and the imagination
✅ The ‘spiritual but not religious’ generation
✅ The link between a culture of individualism and a crisis of meaning
✅ Cancel Culture
and why we should ‘keep Christianity weird”!
This is a conversation that will inspire hope as well as lay out some clear missional priorities for the road ahead. Essential listening. 👌
Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen.
Enjoy! 🎧
