I have been reading You Lost Me and I think it is an accurate portrayal of how we lost the Millennials who grew up in the church but Matthew Marino makes just as significant point – more than half the millennial generation was never even in the Church and that is just as significant.
Just as Boomer evangelicalism entertained their children and grandchildren right out the door, it kept those outside at arms length and generations segregated and self-centered.
“Instead of connecting them to God and his church, we, with Pavlovian discipline, conditioned our young to jump from church to church as consumers of glitzy religio-entertainment. We systematically taught those with the most to give how to take and take and take.”
A good article to share.
