How should pastors respond and what can we do when it comes to shepherding our people well in such a pluralistic society? Join the Mad Pastors to for a great discussion on what we can do.

November 10, 2021 Is Christianity Anti-Science?
One of the reasons many young adults in America are leaving the church is because they see a growing divide between faith and science. Is it fair to say Christianity is at odds with science, or is there a better way to understand these two categories? The Mad Pastors argue that faith and science are not polar opposites, but instead complement one other. Each should be in favor of the other and we as pastors need to do a better job helping our people learn how to integrate both science and faith into our daily lives. Listen now to hear their insights that may just keep 18-29 year old from leaving the church for this reason.

November 03, 2021 Why Gen Z is leaving the church: Is the church being over-protective?
A Barna study suggests one of the main reasons young people (age 18-29) are leaving the church is because the church is over-protective. That means either they see the church as anti-everything secular, ignoring real-world problems, or opposed to the music, movies, and video games these young people enjoy. If this is how America’s budding generation feels about the church, how can the church respond and what must we as mad pastors do to reach this crucial generation once again?
