Why People Leave Church–and What Parents Can Do: Jim Davis & Michael Aitcheson

Why do people leave church? And what can parents know and do so their kids aren't casualties to a mass church exodus? Church planter Michael Aitcheson and author Jim Davis, author of The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back? as the two explore what's happening in the church—and how parents can actively, intentionally shape kids who stay. For a parent we have to be in community and the church is designed to be that. I mean the church really is. We should have a church family so when we talk about dechurching we would be remiss to not talk about we are saved into the body of Christ, which is the local church. -- Jim Davis Show Notes and Resources Hear more from Jim Davis on his podcast.
