Show Notes
In this episode we review the devastating impacts of the U.S. demographic “cliff” and the parallel decline of the Church. We also dive into ACNA membership statistics which could spell a troubling future for the denomination. Finally, we discuss what it will take from everyday Christians to begin reversing decades of institutional decline.
