Reports of people leaving the evangelical church seem to be a common occurrence over the last decade. The stories share the theme in which young people feel the church's' ideals are out of date with the times. Is this the entire story or is there more? Do the doctrines of the church meet what people today expect? Do churches today follow the teachings of Jesus or have they gotten lost in 2000 years of tradition? These are just a few of the questions that I hear people asking all the time. I wanted to find the reason why people are leaving the evangelical church and if they are leaving their faith behind also. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
