Millennial Christians Queasy about Conversion

Last updated on: February 5, 2019 at 10:33 am   By David Murrow

New research from Barna finds that almost half of practicing, born-again Millennial Christians are uncomfortable with the idea of proselyting those who practice other faiths. They support evangelism in principle: more than 90% of these young believers agree with these two statements: “Part of my faith means being a witness about Jesus” “The best thing that could ever happen to someone is for them to come to know Jesus.” However, they have qualms about sharing their faith with individuals of... Read more

Last updated on: January 15, 2019 at 7:43 am   By David Murrow

Harris is the author of the 1997 bestseller “I Kissed Dating Goodbye.” The book encouraged young people to eschew casual dating and enter into formal courtship arrangements, supervised by their parents, with an eye toward marriage. It discouraged all forms of pre-marital contact (even kissing and hand holding were verboten among Harris’ most devoted disciples). The book... Read more
