For the most part I can understand how/why our young people can't explain what they believe and why...But for a pastor to not be able to explain it is a concern....According to Josh McDowell because of pastors’ inability to present biblical truth comprehensibly and relevantly...It has led to children from Christian families leaving the church early as 18 years of age according to research....In the United States, the age at which nearly all such children leave church has decreased to 18 years.....Not even the children of many successful ministers are spared.McDowell made his comments at a recent networking dinner among various men’s ministries organized recently by Men-in-Covenant.
