I say “seems to be…” because that’s what I keep hearing from so many of my contemporaries in ministry.
“It’s hard to find young leaders!”
“Why won’t youth step up and take their place in the church like we did when we were younger?”
“What’s wrong with (…here it comes…) Kids. These. Days!?”
Some of this leadership vacuum is due to factors beyond our control. Many small towns, for instance, are losing their youth to big cities at a record pace.
But aside from those situations, we can make the necessary adjustments to keep raising up new generations of young church leaders. More Here
So many Churches do not have a ‘farm system” that is a baseball term for having players in training to become major league players. Many Churches have no youth or not many to train up! Too many Churches in America have hardly any youth, too many Churches do not have Sunday school for Children. Where are the children in your community?
The last 6 years or so in presidential politics has really ripped America apart! The GOP and Dems are destroying America. Many Christians are drunk from the political Kool-Aid, BOTH SIDES! You have done a great job of chasing our young people away from the Church. many will never return. I know, I hear it constantly in our ministry from the people we minister to that have left the Church. I hear it, I see it and sadly I smell it! It stinks to high heaven! Many so called Christians fell more in love with politics than JESUS! JESUS must be at the center of all! We have and still have Pastors and Church leaders support ungody politicians!
Sara Kyoungah White: Our propensity for fake news reflects our propensity for fake forms of the gospel. A 2020 survey by Ligonier Ministries showed that a significant number of evangelicals have a profound misunderstanding about God. “Overall, U.S. adults appear to have a superficial attachment to well-known Christian beliefs,” stated the ministry.
I have never seen so much fighting going on in the Church, especially from the Baptist Church. All this fighting is showing an unbelieving world what it wants to see from so called Christians. This does not only do great harm to all Baptist Churches, but TO ALL CHURCHES! SHAME! Satan has a stronghold with many in the American Church. The Church is doing a great job of chasing people away, never to return, I know, I minister to people all the time that have had it with the American Church. The Church will have to answer to God for all this. The Church in America needs to face the fact that it is fading fast. I see it, the Lord shows me everyday, but who am I? I am just one, but I will stand with The love of JESUS and His Words and not make it a business, the Churches that are abiding God are being hurt by those that do not, they have made the Bride of Christ a business to suit whatever they want it to be. Satan is having his way with many. I never thought I would see this. So many are not moving with the Holy Spirit. Does your Church teach the TEN COMMANDMENTS? Does your Church fulfill THE GREAT COMMISSION?
UPDATED November 12, 2021: Earlier this week, the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) singled out one Texas church for criticism as part of a fundraising push in their newsletter. Instead of giving to the CBMW, many donors opted to give to the church CBMW criticized instead.
That church was First Baptist Church of Elm Mott, where the husband of author and Christian historian Beth Allison Barr serves as lead pastor. Barr is the author of “The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth,” wherein Barr recasts a vision for gender roles in the evangelical church, making the case for an egalitarian view.

A couple of months ago an Associate Pastor told me, “My Pastor is trying his best with a divided congregation, he is trying to keep us together, half are republican’s and the other half are democrats, it is tough on him.”
