This episode was recorded live at the Mothers Union Sydney Seminar on February 28, 2025 at St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney. In the final session of the day, Al James and Beth Braga had a conversation about why teens and young adults are dropping out of church and the Christian faith, and what parents can do about it. They spoke about the key factors that, under the sovereignty of God, have been shown to help kids develop a robust, coherent and liveable faith that stays with them into adulthood. This conversation is packed with helpful research, real life examples and biblical encouragement.
