In this second of 2 broadcasts, Joel Barnes, in his twenties, discusses why he sees youth leaving the church. Joel lists the following as the top 3 reasons that youth are walking away:
1. We are not challenging our youth, but rather giving them Awana-level teaching and expected them to make it in a time of intense spiritual warfare.
2. No prayer meetings or equipping in the area of prayer.
3. A lack of equipping for how to cope with the outside world.
