Ever feel like you’re slowly backing out of a room, hoping no one notices? That’s quiet quitting—but not at your job. We’re talking about quietly quitting church. 🏃♂️💨
In this episode of Christian AF, Jesse, Jen, and Evan (joined by our buddy Creig) dive into why so many people are ghosting church communities without saying a word. Are we just bad at confrontation? Is church just another consumer product we discard when it stops working for us? Have we been trained to think of faith like an entertainment subscription we can cancel anytime?
We’re breaking down:
- Why people really leave churches.
- The rise of individualism and how it’s reshaped faith communities.
- Whether digital connections can replace in-person church life.
- The dangers of a “church as entertainment” model.
- How to build real, lasting community in a culture that thrives on isolation.
So grab a drink, and buckle up, while we talk about why church relationships are getting ghosted harder than a bad Tinder date.
