Faith in Modern Times: Gen-X and Y's Struggle with the Church
If the word of god is not being made relevant to you, it is not god's fault, because, once again, you as an individual believer, are required to basically study for yourself.
Is the younger generation drifting away from faith? Patricia E Adams takes a deep dive into this pressing question in her podcast episode. With a focus on Gen-X and Gen-Y, she unpacks why these age groups might feel disconnected from the Church and God. Are topics like homosexuality and women in leadership pushing them away? Or is it the lack of relevance in the teachings they hear? Patricia doesn't shy away from these tough questions.
Instead, she encourages listeners to explore their faith independently and seek out interpretations that resonate with their daily lives. She also touches on the persistent issue of sexism within the Church, arguing for a shift in gender roles to reflect modern times. To deepen one's understanding, Patricia recommends reading the Song of Solomon and Watchman Nee's 'Songs of Songs'.
This episode is a call to action for anyone feeling lost in their faith journey, urging them to seek truth and relevance in their spiritual practices.
