Maisel DuncanHOST
Now, one of the first things you think about that this younger generation would say is obsolete of Scripture.
Maisel DuncanHOST
Protestant churchgoers in the United States appear increasingly willing to reject some biblical truths with young adult attendees under 30, most likely to say some of those truths are becoming obsolete, according to a recent survey by Lifeway Research.
Maisel DuncanHOST
And it was just published here recently.
Maisel DuncanHOST
Do
Jeff ChildersGUEST
Of course, because I'm who I am, I had to do my own curriculum.
Jeff ChildersGUEST
I couldn't use the pre-prepared LifeWay stuff.
Jeff ChildersGUEST
That was too boring.
Jeff ChildersGUEST
So I did my own.

Alex McFarlandHOST
Well said.
Alex McFarlandHOST
And you know, um, Jim, shortly after COVID, so this is going back, you know, about five years, but Lifeway Research out of Nashville, they did a study of 20-somethings that, um, apparently had no church background whatsoever, and, and folks, my point in sharing this is the opportunity that lies before us.
Alex McFarlandHOST
But 86% said that they, quote, "Would strongly consider attending a church service" if they were invited by a friend, coworker, relative, somebody they knew.
Alex McFarlandHOST
Now think about this, um, 20-somethings with no church background, and this was, um, statistically, it was said to be a representative sample because it was like 5,500 people in a number of states.
Todd StarnesHOST
But again, this is something that is happening within the body of Christ.
Todd StarnesHOST
Now, there's a brand new study that just came out from Lifeway Christian Resources.
Todd StarnesHOST
And it says, according to the survey, that more young Americans are now beginning to deny the teachings in Scripture.
Todd StarnesHOST
Scary thing.
Kyle ThompsonHOST
But even to back up just a little bit, I don't know why this is just absolutely stuck in my brain, but I brought it up on the show maybe a hundred times.
Kyle ThompsonHOST
But in 2025, Lifeway and Ligonier Ministries got together to do the State of Theology survey, right? Mm-hmm.
Kyle ThompsonHOST
And so in order to be a part of the survey, Scott, you had to answer like four or five questions in the affirmative to show that you were indeed an evangelical, right? So the Bible had to be your highest authority for morality, like Jesus was the only way to the Father, questions like that.
Kyle ThompsonHOST
So everyone surveyed is a self-described evangelical.
Maisel DuncanHOST
Of course, I've not made really a penny on the book because of that.
Maisel DuncanHOST
But you can go to Amazon, Lifeway, any book distributor.
Maisel DuncanHOST
But thrifty books.
Maisel DuncanHOST
I found they sold, and everyone else is like $3 cheaper, and it's free shipping.
Daniel FloydHOST
It's still extremely effective.
Daniel FloydHOST
I just this week read a report released by Lifeway Research that researches churches and trends and what's happening in the culture.
Daniel FloydHOST
And from the research, they said it is still true that people are highly likely to respond to an invitation to church if it's given by a friend.
Daniel FloydHOST
But it's highly unlikely that they're gonna get that invitation.
Kris DolberryGUEST
Right.
Kris DolberryGUEST
And so I think I have this unique perspective because I've lived in both worlds, you know, and, um, And then I spent a little time at Lifeway, which is a Christian publisher, but there's also a consulting piece and training piece for pastors that Lifeway does.
Kris DolberryGUEST
And so I got to spend a lot of time doing that too, work there for a season.
Kris DolberryGUEST
And so you just combine all of that and man, It just seems like the perfect combination of experience and passions and gifting.
35 MINS LATER
Kris DolberryGUEST
And then I think sometimes we assume disciple making is happening because we're having a Bible study and people are learning Bible content.
Kris DolberryGUEST
And I come from a Baptist tradition, and Baptists are good at curriculum.
Kris DolberryGUEST
I even work there, Lifeway.
Kris DolberryGUEST
We create curriculum.
