The Problem

You Lost Me, David Kinnaman (2012)

3 Key Weaknesses in Church’s Approach to DiscipleshipRELATIONSHIPS - Our young people are not connected relationally to enough people in the church to stay engaged in the church.

VOCATION - Our congregations do not help young people understand or practice living out God’s call in their daily lives.

WISDOM - Our congregations spend more time passing on “information” rather than wisdom, which is the ability to use information wisely.

The Privatization of Religion

Faith formation in a missional age will be public . . .

Intergenerational faith communitiesdiscern and proclaim Christ’s presence and activityand their proper responsein the public square for the common good.
