Have you ever wondered why many people in this generation have strong feelings against going to church or fellowshipping with believers; and maybe even why some have left the church entirely? Well, we have. Today, it is so easy to make assumptions about others' lives and even falsely perceive one's walk with Christ because of their attire, taste in music, or even style of worship; but God warns us against this in His Word. In this week's episode of Real Talk: No Gimmicks, join your girls Haley, Erin, and Dami as we discuss why we feel young people leave the church and solutions we can all actively participate in to prevent this church exodus. Love, Haley, Erin, and Dami Stay Real!!
