An Epidemic of Unbelief with Michael Graham
In this first episode of this series, "Believe," Jeff and Laura sit down with Michael Graham, Program Director for the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. Mike unpacks the findings of his latest book, The Great Dechurching: Who’s Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back? In it, he looks at the different profiles of Americans who are leaving or have already left the church. Their conversation sets up this series as we look at what it means to believe in the Christian faith, with a great reminder that belief is something we hold to, but it is also God holding on to us.
Timestamps to help you follow along:
(3:18) What is dechurching and who is doing it and why did you choose that title?
(4:56) Who is leaving the Church?
Four profiles of who is leaving evangelical churches:
(5:32) Cultural Christians
(6:05) Mainstream Evangelicals
(7:44) “Ex”vangelicals
(10:15) Black & Indigenous Persons of Color (BIPOC)
(12:04) How can you relate to each profile?
(13:41) What do you mean when you refer to the dechurching issue in America as a discipleship issue?
(17:26) What did you learn with the large group of people who just need an invitation?
