And what parents, pastors, and mentors can do about it — starting this week.
Young people aren't leaving the faith because Christianity was tried and found wanting — too often, it was never truly modeled, taught, or handed down. Drawing on years of discipleship ministry, mentorship of men and fathers, and hands-on leadership development, Andy Massey names the patterns that quietly push the next generation out the door — and lays out a practical, biblical path to bring them home.
Inside you'll find honest cultural analysis, real stories from ministry to families and young believers, and concrete strategies for building discipleship into everyday life — at the dinner table, in the youth room, and from the pulpit.
