Last updated on: November 4, 2013 at 9:03 pm By Guest Contributor

It’s no secret in Christian circles that young people are leaving the church in droves, with Christian research firms finding over and over that once there’s not a parent there to push them to church, the majority of high school kids drift away from religion once they move out of the house.

Last updated on: November 4, 2013 at 7:00 am By Guest Contributor

by Earle Fisher R3 Contributor *This is the second of a two part post.
