Today we sit down with Steven Garff, a listener to the podcast, and discuss why people leave the Church.  We examine the age old reasons and dismiss them one by one as unsatisfactory as a overarching explanation.  We then delve into a theory that does explain the whole and how it impacts the question of why some leave and why some stay in the Church?  Please take a listen as I think Steve has hit on the truth of the matter.  It may require our letting go of a false assumption or two but it’s affects will be worth their weight in gold.
