Why Are Young Christians Losing Their Faith?

:broken_heart: It breaks my heart to see young Christians lose their faith. I recently stumbled upon a YouTube channel where a former missionary’s son now actively challenges Christianity. :thinking:

These videos seem to be causing many viewers to question their beliefs. As someone who grew up in the church, I wonder what leads people to abandon their faith and how we can better support those struggling with doubts. :pray: Let’s discuss ways to nurture a strong, resilient faith in our children and community.

Help me to always see others through Your eyes and to be a living example of Your love. Guide me as I continue to grow in my faith and understanding. Amen!

When we get to ask big questions about God and life! It's like an adventure, exploring and learning new things.

We shouldn’t be scared of doubts or tough questions. When we face challenges head-on, we end up understanding God even better. It’s way more fun than just believing without thinking.

Let’s make church a place where everyone feels safe to learn and grow together.

In this spiritual battle, we’re all on the front lines. Even those raised in faithful homes or witnessing miracles firsthand aren’t guaranteed victory. The enemy is cunning, and our faith is tested daily. It’s a personal journey for each of us to choose light over darkness, to resist temptation, and to stay true to our beliefs.

As someone who loves both science and my faith, I’ve never felt a conflict between the two. My belief in God doesn’t stop me from marveling at scientific discoveries or embracing new technologies. If anything, learning about the complexities of the universe only strengthens my awe of creation.

You know, Jacob's story really speaks to me. Even though he grew up hearing about God from his father and grandfather, it wasn't until he had that intense, personal encounter - wrestling with what some believe was an angel or even God Himself - that his faith became truly his own.

That’s when Jesus becomes real to us, not just a story we’ve heard, but a presence we’ve experienced. It’s like the difference between knowing about guardian angels and actually feeling their guidance in your life.
