I have mentioned in past podcast episodes and books that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is losing many of its young adult members to inactivity. Millennials, born between 1981 – 1995, were the first to start the exodus. But church members in the I-Generation, born between 1995 – 2012, are not far behind. It would be easiest to simply blame these generations for their lack of faith and accept their departures. However, what does that approach mean for the church in, say, 20 years as our faithful elderly members die and our younger adults leave?
What kind of experiences are being had by wavering Millennial members who attend your ward? Can you as a ward member make those experiences better? The departure of young adults from the Church has made it clear that changes are now vitally necessary. This podcast episode is structured to address these issues.
