8 in 10 young people are leaving Christianity. Our faith has become irrelevant to our children.
It doesn’t have to be that way. This book can help.
Doug Hammack has dedicated his life to the church, its mission, and its future. All who share that concern will value his wisdom.
I wrote the book for people who can no longer access Divine Life in the current Christian narrative.
In my lifetime, I’ve had a front row seat for the decline of our religion. I also have children. I would have loved to pass rich, transformative, spiritual community to them. Yeah. That’s not going to happen without some serious reconsideration of the most basic elements of spirituality.
For years I’ve helped disenchanted Christians recover a vibrant spirituality. It’s been a big endeavor. We had to start with the fundamental meaning-making story we tell ourselves. Turns out, how we imagine God, human nature, Jesus, salvation, have been at the core of our tradition’s toxicity. Healthy spiritual community is demanding a healthy meaning-making story.
Have a read!
