In the midst of the discouraging reports about the aging and decline of churches today, what steps do savvy churches take that help them best love and serve teenagers and young adults? Kara Powell is the executive director of the Fuller Youth Institute and associate professor of youth and family ministry at Fuller Theological Seminary who will be addressing this question and many like it in her talk. Named by Christianity Today as one of “50 Women to Watch,” she is the author or coauthor of several books, including Growing Young and Sticky Faith, and a regular speaker at national leadership and youth ministry conferences across the country.

You're fighting a losing battle. Christianity had it's day but the party's over. Christianity and religion in general is in significant decline over the western hemisphere and the explosive growth of atheists and religious "nones" shows no signs of slowing down. I for one am happy about this trend. It gives me hope for the future and I hope to see the day when Christianity is heaped on the pile of defunct religions.

Hey socksumi….what's your hope for the future based on and why did you keep moving forward in life?

If your measure of Christianity's success is limited to what you perceive happening in the Western Hemisphere, then you are missing quite a bit.

Socksumi, I can see you either had a bad experience with Christians or never met met a true Christian and just received your information from the media. Either way I am sorry. It is true that many people who call themselves Christians are not that appealing. Still, the main question to consider is who is Jesus? Did he exist? Did he die and rise again as the Bible claims? If all this is true, it does not matter if the nones keep growing (except for them, of course). The truth is what matters in the end.

I'd love to know more about why you made these conclusions about Christianity. I'm sure you have very valid reasons, and I assume you gave this a lot of thought. So... what led you to think the way you do about Christianity?
