301. Understanding the Great De-Churching with Jim Davis


Listen Later

Why are so many people leaving the church—and what can we do about it? In this episode of The Group Answers Podcast, hosts Brian Daniel and Haley Malone sit down with Jim Davis, teaching pastor and co-author of The Great De-Churching, to explore one of the most significant movements happening in the church today. Together, they unpack the growing phenomenon of de-churching, where individuals who once regularly attended church have walked away from community life and corporate worship.

Jim shares eye-opening insights from his extensive research, including surprising statistics about who is leaving, why they’re leaving, and what this trend means for the future of the church. The conversation highlights the critical role of authentic community, the power of education in shaping discipleship, and the need for churches to adapt their approaches to reconnect with those who have drifted away. Whether you’re a small group leader, pastor, or disciple-maker, this discussion will equip you with a better understanding of the de-churched and how to engage them with compassion and purpose.
