Are students leaving the church? Fifty percent of students drift from their faith after graduating high school. Of those who drift, 80% did not plan to drift from their faith when they went to college or went into the workforce. Are we losing the battle with students or is there a reason to have hope in this generation's loyalty to the local church? In this episode, hosts Jeff Eckart and Jayson Brewer dive into the numbers from their research about students' loyalty to the church, their youth group, and what it looks like for students' faith when they actually attend church post-graduation. What can we do as youth leaders to prepare students for faith outside high school, to ensure it sticks?
