The Crisis in Children’s Ministry: A Call to Action [Featuring Dr. George Barna]

How can children learn God’s truth if we don’t know it ourselves? Dr. George Barna joins Pastor Allen Jackson to discuss the current state of children’s ministry in America—both in churches and Christian schools. The Director of Research at Arizona Christian University’s Culture Research Center, Dr. Barna’s research shows that seven out of eight youth pastors currently serving in Christian churches across the country do not have a biblical worldview. “To imagine that the church is going to lead a transformational culture without having a biblical understanding is insanity,” Pastor Allen said. Their discussion shows that taking children to church and enrolling them in Christian schools doesn’t mean they will be taught God’s truth. Ultimately, parents are responsible for their children’s training, and the podcast offers action steps we can take to disciple the children in our lives.
