You Lost Me One-Day Workshop

I recently attended a one-day seminar in which David Kinnaman, President of the Barna Group, shared information from his book, You Lost Me. The seminar, and the book, focus on reaching the millennial (20's and 30's) generation, who in many cases are leaving the church and rethinking faith. Following is some of what Kinnaman shared:

The millennial generation is a generation with access to communication but a generation without wisdom.

The best Biblical example for the complexity of our times are the exiles in Babylon, believers living "in but not of" the culture.

The Gospel should be as simple as possible but not any simpler.

If we think college is leading people from faith, then we've not done a good enough job preparing them for college.

The Gospel does not give us an excuse to exclude demographics that are inconvenient for the church.

This generation is not just "sort of" different....our culture is discontinuously different.

All our efforts must point to Jesus.
