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.

Youth and the Church, with Sean and Bekah Genung, Part 2

For the past 30 years surveys have shown that waves of youth have exited the church. With such a mass exit of youth, why aren't we hearing warnings and open discussions of this from our pulpits? 
If you were owner of a company and your customers were leaving in mass wouldn’t you be freaking out, calling meetings, making plans? 
One survey showed that 70-88% of Christian youth born in evangelical homes leave the faith after one year in secular college. In this first of two shows, Sean Genung, 31, and Rebekah Genung, 23, join Mike to discuss what they see happening with youth.

Mike Genung Shares His Story

Mike and Rebekah, his daughter, discuss the new "Six Seven" trend in youth with occult influence, Jesus' words to "Remember Lot's Wife" in these last days, and the wonderful blessings God promises every believer who overcomes in Revelation 2 and 3, including:

Rev. 2:7 – 
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’

Rev. 2:17 – 
To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

Rev. 3:5-6 – 
The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

Rev. 3:12 – 
The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
