If the church in America is going to make any meaningful progress toward addressing the 40 million adults who’ve left the church in the last 30 years, we must run on two mission-critical train tracks: individual and institutional. Jim Davis and I geared our book The Great Dechurching more toward helping individuals demystify what’s going on, grow in relational wisdom, and adopt a more persuasive posture with the people in their everyday lives.

Almost all of those 40 million people have left in the last 30 years. And of those 40 million, 15 million have left evangelical churches.

There are simple truths you can tell her. You can tell her that God doesn’t get sad like we do because he’s different from us.
