Church Matters
Over 40 million Americans have dechurched in the last 25 years alone, and multiple generations have been raised to believe the most spiritual thing they can do is follow God by following their heart - right out of the church. Ed Stetzer talks with Brad Edwards about his book, The Reason for Church: Why the Body of Christ still matters in an age of Anxiety, Division and Radical Individualism, and how the current cultural crisis of loneliness, stress, and anxiety can provide compelling reasons to come back to church on Ed Stetzer Live.
