Description
Did you know that we’re currently living through the single largest religious shift in American history? But unlike past movements, this is the first shift away from religion. Jim Davis and his coauthor, Michael Graham, explore this phenomenon in their recent book, “The Great Dechurching.” On today’s episode, Patrick sits down with Jim to learn more about the basis for this book: the most comprehensive, qualitative survey on dechurching that’s ever been done. You’ll hear Jim explain what it means to be “dechurched,” what’s the top reason for dechurching in America (the answer may surprise you!), and what’s going on in evangelicalism? You’ll get acquainted with the five types of dechurched people: cultural Christians, dechurched mainstream evangelicals, exvangelicals, dechurched BIPOC, and dechurched mainline Protestants and Catholics. Jim breaks down the makeup of each, explaining who they are, why they left the church, and whether or not they’re willing to return. Finally, what can you do to make a difference in the lives of dechurched people today? Listen now!

David Gushee: A Conversation with a Post-Evangelical: In this week's episode, Patrick speaks with Dr. David Gushee about his life as a post-Evangelical. Dr. Gushee is a professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University and author of many books, including "After Evangelicalism: The New Path To A New Christianity." Dr. Gushee shares what he's learned in his experience in academia, the politics that come along with that, and his involvement with the Obama campaign. He and Patrick discuss the entitlement to cultural power and the transition to a political strategy from an evangelical one. Dr. Gushee also gives us a better understanding of Progressive Evangelicalism and historical realism, ending on the topic of the LGBTQ community and views on polygamy.
