Our mission is to discuss the important issues that we all face in our Christian walk and provide encouragement and wisdom from the Bible through a variety of media formats. Our flagship program, The Forum, is aimed at introducing youth to Christ and helping them cultivate a relationship with Him. Through our casual, open style discussion we seek to encourage youth-to-youth, youth-to-parent, and parent-to-parent dialogue about subjects that have become “taboo” in our churches and homes. We pray that through this ministry we all discover God’s purpose for our lives.

We have begun the transition from an audio podcast to a live streaming show. The above clip is from episode 1 of the new show titled “Purpose Live” which took place in December 2010.

The topic we covered in this show was Self Esteem.

We apologize for the quality of the audio as we experienced some technical difficulty on the day of the broadcast.

What better way to get into the minds of youth about why so many leave church than to hear it straight from their mouths!

We set up this episode to incorporate a few guests that represent what we found in our research on this topic.  QUICK RECAP: Three responsible parties for this issue – Parents, the Church and Youth. 

Our final segment for this show was intriguing because we got to ask tough questions to a couple of teenagers [one in high schook, the other in college] and they were as honest as we thought they could be.

In Segment 2, we focused on the Parents.  Our goal was to present the facts as they relate to teens and parents and just listen to a parental perspective on the matter.  Then we wanted to encourage all parents to become more approachable to their youth.

In Segment #1 of this episode, we discuss the church’s role in the youth exodus.  In researching the topic we found a ton of responsibility placed on the church.  Is this fair?  What should the role of the church be in our lives?

OPEN MIC is a new content offering from us hosted by our youth reporter Reggie Mattison, Jr.  With this show we will be “hitting the streets” (metaphorically) to get the pulse of the youth, both inside and outside of our churches, on various topics and events that relate to their Christianity.

Enjoy this sample offering as we work to bring you more content.

An age-old issue the grows each year is the annual “running of the young”.  Similar to the running of the bulls event held in Pamplona, Spain each year, young people scurry away from churches like bulls are chasing them…out of the arms of the church into the claws of the world.

But why?  It is a question that needs to be seriously discussed; seriously researched; and more importantly ACTIVELY approached with solutions.

A recent study by The Barna Group (www.barna.org) has shown that 70-75% of teens become “disengaged” in Christianity once they leave their parent’s home.  This is an astronomical number.  The study further shows that 85% of that 75% come back…..eventually.  But by then what price has been paid?

Join us as we dive into the discussion and begin to look deeper into the issue.

But why?  It is a question that needs to be seriously discussed among youth and adults.  A recent study has shown that 70-75% of teens become “disengaged” in Christianity once they leave their parent’s home.  This is an astronomical number.  The study further shows that 85% of that 75% come back…..eventually.  But by then what price has been paid?

Many adults, especially myself,  were apart of those statistics.

So we would like to pose a survey.  This question is for ALL (youth and adults).  We will be discussing this in our next podcast.

What are some reasons that you feel young people leave church?  Be real with us!

…And here is a completely anonymous poll for the youth.  Answer truthfully.
