For the past 30 years surveys have shown that waves of youth have exited the church. 
In this second of two shows, Sean Genung, 31, and Rebekah Genung, 23, join Mike to discuss what they see happening with youth. We begin this broadcast by looking at the results of a survey of youth that showed: 
“I don’t believe some of the things I hear talked about at religious gatherings.” - 60%
“I do not like to be told answers about faith and religion. I’d rather discover my own answers.” 58%
“Because other things help me find meaning in my life, I don't need a faith community.” 56%
“I don’t feel like I can be my full self in a religious organization.” 55%
“Religious communities try to fix my problem instead of just being there for me.” 54%
“Religion, faith, or religious leaders will try to give me answers, but I am looking for something else.” 53%
Mike, Sean, and Bekah discuss these topics and more, including the idols that youth and adults are paying homage to.
