It’s no secret that millennials are leaving the church. Churches of all denominations are grappling with the phenomenon of young adults born between approximately 1976 and 1994 who are failing to engage in traditional, institutional Christianity. In fact, research indicates that among those who describe themselves as atheists, agnostics, or “nothing in particularâ€â€”“the nonesâ€â€”a significant number of them are millennials.This reality is addressed by Alex McFarland and Jason Jimenez in their book Abandoned Faith. The authors, specialists in Christian apologetics and family ministries, offer their observations and suggestions for addressing this situation.The book is divided into four sections: What Went Wrong; Forces Shaping Our Sons and Daughters; Steps to Mend to Move Forward; and Winning Back Your Millennial Child. Each chapter in its respective section is carefully crafted to blend sociological research (fully documented), contemporary and biblical case studies, and scriptural counsel.The reason millennials are leaving the church is summed up in this sentence: “Too many Christians have forgotten that the goal of the church is to help people follow Christ [rather] than [just] show up for an hour on Sunday.†And it isn’t just the church that is blamed for millennials’ disinterest in organized religion. Other causes include the changing influence of the home and changes in culture.The thing that takes the greatest hit in terms of blame is inauthenticity on the part of such authority figures as parents, church members, and religious institutions. The authors point out that millennials don’t want to be preached to; they want to engage in conversations. They don’t want to be numbers on somebody’s tally or report card; they want to belong to a cause that’s greater than themselves. They don’t want to be a cog in a piece of machinery; they want to be part of the body of Christ.A recurring theme in the book is the guilt felt by parents who come to realize (too late) that their children’s interest in Christianity is waning or absent altogether. The authors’ suggestions for remedying the situation are helpful, but certainly not guaranteed to produce positive results in every case. Let’s face it: young adults in university, or in their first jobs, are less likely to conform to parental influence than when they were younger.The ideal audience for Abandoned Faith is not those whose children have already abandoned their faith; it’s for parents, family members, church members—indeed, all Christians—who are determined to live their faith, not just talk about it.
I have two young adults who walked away after high school and I partially blame my lack of answers, busyness and emphasis on worldly pursuits as they were growing up.This book hits the nail on the head, why, what, and how they leave the church. Gives practical helps so we can pray and effectively support our adult children so our faith models love in action. The 3rd and best book I have read so far on the subject, gave me hope and direction.
Opened my eyes to what is really going through the eyes of young people!
Insightful...encouraging a must read for everyone.
Instamatic!
Abandoned Faith: Why Millenials Are Walking Away and How You Can Lead Them Home is written by Alex McFarland and Jason Jimenez and published by Tyndale House Publishers in association with Focus on the Family. This book is aimed at parents, both physical and spiritual who have had/are having their children “abandon†the Christian faith that they were raised in the nature and admonition of. The authors start with a heart wrenching series of accounts of parents who have had their child “leave†their faith, which sets up for an emotional appeal to the reader who is most likely in the same situation.As a minister to children, youth, and families this is sadly something I have personally seen again and again. A child is raised in a family who confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior, and tries their best to raise that child/children in a home that honors and glorifies the LORD, yet when the child leaves the home either for college or for the workforce they reject the faith that they claimed as a child. Abandoned Faith is a long letter to parents trying to comfort them and give them practical advice to try to recover their child’s “abandoned†faith in Christ.While it is obvious that this work is well researched, and I expect nothing less from Focus On the Family, it seems as if the author is placing the weight of their child’s lawlessness on the parents shoulders. While it is the duty of a parent to raise their child, and spiritually nurture them, parents cannot confer faith on their children. Faith is something that an individual must have given to them by God, not by their parent, regardless of their parent’s spiritual relationship with God. What would have transformed this work from good to great would have been the focus on the sovereignty of God rather than the duty of Man. When we remember that it is God who gives us faith, and He is the one who keeps our faith; because of this if it seems that someone has “abandoned†their faith, as sad as it is, there might never have been true belief in the first place.There was one other concern about Abandoned Faith, which dealt with the practical application for Churches who want to bring back the “lost millennial†generation. While I am on the outside looking in to the millennial generation, the concessions that the authors ask the church to make to the millennial generation take away much of the foundation of the Church. While I readily admit that something must be done to bring the millennial generation back into the covenant community most of what is suggested might bring a few back, but it will have started to make the foundational pillars of the church crack and rot away.In the end, while I highly respect the two authors of Abandoned Faith, what they are attempting to do presents a compelling argument, albeit one based on emotion and may end up placing the blame of their children’s rejection of Christianity on grieving parents, when they fulfilled their task given to them in Deuteronomy 6 when raising their children.This book was provided to me free of charge from Focus on the Family via Tyndale Publishing in exchange for an unbiased, honest review.
