One of the great things that has started to happen in the last decade is this deep look into one of the "unwanted" or "undesired" outcomes of children who grow up in church. We've all heard the statistics about how many of the kids who grow up in church and yet, when they reach adulthood, they leave the church/faith.
There's all kinds of things I could say here...in fact, I have my own ideas/opinions/hypothesis, about why this tends to happen.
There's a study coming out of Fuller Seminary in CA called "Sticky Faith." When I heard the main thesis of the book, it matched many of the thoughts that I had about this phenomenon. It's set to release later this year, but the authors have provided a bit of summary for us. It's an audio podcast summarizing their findings.
Sticky Faith - Summary - Audio
I think this is something you should listen to and consider in your own parenting!
