Why Men Are Leaving the Church & How to Win Them Back In this episode of the March or Die Show, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard sit down with Jason Shepperd, founding pastor of Church Project, to tackle one of the toughest issues facing the church today: the masculine exodus from Sunday mornings. Jason shares his radical model for a church of house churches, why tough, authentic leadership matters, and how decentralizing power and restoring biblical community are key to drawing men back in. We explore how performative faith and inauthentic leadership are driving men away and what it really takes to earn their respect and help them heal. If you're a pastor, leader, or man searching for deeper meaning in your faith journey, this episode will challenge your perspective and leave you with a renewed vision for what the Church can and should be.

This is why men today are leaving the church. It's become weak.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH BRAYDEN! https://www.braydensteckler.com

What we do is what we become. Christians replace cultural habits we've imbibed with spiritual habits we intentionally embrace. What if we thought of our spiritual community as a spiritual habit?The sermon today is titled "The Habit of Community." It is the ninth installment in our series "Follow Me", and the first in the sub-series "Spiritual Habits." The Scripture reading is from Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on March 30, 2025. All lessons fit under one of 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Spiritual Disciplines.Click here if you would like to watch the sermon or read a transcript.Podcast Notes (resources used or referenced):Sermon, “Our King's Table,” Fellowship Bible Church (Searcy, AR)Tim Keller Sermon, “Hope For The Church,” Nov 1, 2009.Barbara Brown Taylor, Leaving Church.Everett Ferguson, The Church of Christ: A Biblical Ecclesiology.I'd love to connect with you!Watch sermons and find transcripts at nathanguy.com.Follow along each Sunday through YouTube livestream and find a study guide on the sermon notes page.Follow me @nathanpguy (facebook/instagram/twitter)Subscribe to my email newsletter on substack.

Join us for a compelling discussion as Barbara invites us to embrace the sacredness of liminal spaces, to find divine presence in moments of transition, and to open ourselves to the mystery that twilight holds. Discover how twilight can be a teacher in the journey of descent and transformation, where we are invited to live faithfully in the tensions of life.

For the first time in history women are leading the leaving of the faith. For the last 15 years, they have led the American apostasy on the pop-culture scene, and they have led in the popular evangelly fish book market. Almost all top-ten Christian books have been authored by women for the last 10 years or so, paving the exit ramps off the highway of orthodoxy for other women. But young men are going back to church. They want to hear the hard truths, and they are staying in discipleship. Good signs for the church in the 21st Century. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Kamala would have done nothing differently than Biden; David Brainerd, missionary to Indians, an inspiration) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

Surprising new data is in on whether GenZ men or women are leaving the church. We dig into and get all robust with this conversation.Are young men feeling isolated, unsupported, and under constant attack in today's culture? When they turn to the church for guidance, they often find little support, leading many to seek controversial internet figures instead. Some feel masculinity has been attacked and stripped away in the social media age, yet it remains prominent in the real world. Amidst discussions on toxic masculinity, there's a perceived lack of initiatives nurturing positive masculine growth and responsibility among young men. This may be contributing to Gen Z Christian males becoming more religious than their female peers, who are increasingly religiously unaffiliated, and disillusioned potentially by abuse revelations like #MeToo and #ChurchToo. For the first time ever, young men are outpacing young women when it comes to church affiliation and religious expression. • Young men are now more religious than young women, contradicting a long-held narrative. • Young men feeling unsupported, isolated, and under constant attack, turning to controversial internet figures for guidance. • Masculinity has been attacked and stripped away in the social media age, leading to a lack of personal connection and reality. • Gen Z women increasingly religiously unaffiliated, disillusioned by #MeToo, #ChurchToo abuse revelations. • Young women leaving churches due to pastors' sexual misconduct and abuse. • Young men value traditional family life more than young women, contrasting with societal narratives promoting career success. • Complementarian churches reduce women's visibility, driving them away yet liberal denominations ordaining women decline steeply. • Conservative and liberal churches face challenges regarding growth and retention, with liberal churches struggling due to a lack of clear boundaries. What do you think?

Millions of Americans are leaving church. Are they also leaving their faith?   Thirty years ago, about 90 percent of Americans identified as Christian. Today, that's dropped to about 60 percent.Meanwhile, the number of people without any religious affiliation at all continues to grow.For some, the decision to leave is rooted in conflict and pain. But for most people, the reasons for leaving church are a lot more mundane.MPR News guest host Kelly Gordon talks with a researcher and a pastor about the historic exodus from Christian congregations, what some have called the “great de-churching.”

Leaving a church is never a simple decision. Remember when we had to make that tough call? We felt the emotional and spiritual weight bearing down on us, wrestling with whether it was the right time to move on. This episode is all about those moments—whether you're leaving due to painful experiences or positive life changes, we've got strategies to ensure a Christ-honoring exit. We share personal stories to reveal the complex dynamics of quietly disappearing versus formally saying goodbye, and how one's role in the church and its size can influence these decisions.Before deciding to leave, approaching church leadership with questions rather than accusations can be a game-changer. We delve into the importance of open, humble communication and how a leadership's response can reflect the church's culture. If you're married, we talk about the crucial role of prayer and thoughtful consideration with your spouse before making such a significant decision. Personal anecdotes underscore the ongoing struggle to forgive and the profound impact of God's grace in healing and forgiveness, illuminating the path to moving forward with a clear conscience.Once you've decided to leave, the next step is finding a new church that feels like home. We discuss the essential elements to look for, from gospel-centered preaching to genuine community warmth. Be prepared for some honest reflections on making a commitment to a new church, exploring beyond the services to truly gauge its focus and alignment with Christ. And for a bit of fun, we wrap up with a conversation about music preferences—our nostalgic ties to old favorites and how those early influences shape our current tastes. Join us for a heartfelt blend of practical advice and personal stories aimed at helping you navigate this pivotal journey.

The Survey Center on American Life finds Gen Z women are much more likely to leave the church. Men are actually doing better than the previous generation. Why are women abandoning religion?

Jim Davis, pastor and co-author of the recent book, The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back, is back on the podcast to speak with Tim and Rick about some of the reasons why people are leaving churches. They talk about the role incivility, poor communication, “clustering,” and online habits play in the process of dechurching. They also reflect on the Apostle Paul's teaching on the body life of the Church and consider whether there are areas in contemporary church life and education that ought to be reconsidered.Show notes and a full transcript are available.

On this 12th anniversary of my priest ordination, I find myself leaving church, a place I was never called to in the first place. After a dozen years of going where I haven't been called, I lean into the risk and vulnerability of going where I do. What does it mean to live into the call upon your life? What does it mean to honor the person God has called you to BE regardless of what you DO? Living an embodied faith requires being honest, wrestling, asking tough questions and calling a spade a spade. What do you yearn to live into that would allow you to more authentically embody your faith?

Michael has just co-authored a book called The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?, and says that life events that disrupt schedules--like marital changes, kids, or pandemics--are actually the biggest congregation-stealers... and present the greatest opportunity for ministry. Then, Brian and Aubrey interview enneagram expert Jackie Brewster, and chat about what Jesus meant by encouraging Christians to be a city on the hill--vs. what politicians mean when they use the same phrase.

"I like it much better than ‘religious' or ‘spiritual' — to be a seeker after the sacred or the holy, which ends up for me being the really real."– Rev. Barbara Brown TaylorFrom Krista, about this week's show:It's fascinating to trace the arc of spiritual searching and religious belonging in my lifetime. The Episcopal priest and public theologian Barbara Brown Taylor was one of the people I started learning about when I left diplomacy to study theology in the early 1990s. At that time, she was leading a small church in Georgia. And she preached the most extraordinary sermons, and turned them into books read far and wide. Then in 2006, she wrote Leaving Church — about her decision to leave her life of congregational ministry, finding other ways to stay, as she's written, "alive and alert to the holy communion of the human condition, which takes place on more altars than anyone can count.” She's written other books since, with titles like An Altar in the World, Learning to Walk in the Dark, and Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others. Being in the presence of Barbara Brown Taylor's wonderfully wise and meandering mind and spirit, after all these years of knowing her voice in the world, is a true joy. I might even use a religious word — it feels like a "blessing." And this is not a conversation about the decline of church or about more and more people being "spiritual but not religious." We both agree that this often-repeated phrase is not an adequate way of seeing the human hunger for holiness. This is as alive as it has ever been in our time — even if it is shape-shifting in ways my Southern Baptist and Barbara's Catholic and Methodist forebears could never have imagined.Barbara Brown Taylor is the author of many books, including An Altar in the World,  Leaving Church, Holy Envy, and Learning to Walk in the Dark. Her 2020 book is Always a Guest, a compilation of recent sermons. She is the former rector of Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church of Clarkesville, Georgia, and she taught for two decades in the religion department at Piedmont College.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.___________Let's get together.

Jesse and Brittany are joined by their friend and former guest on the show, Ryan Bell. Ryan Bell is notable for his former work as a pastor and his public journey to becoming an atheist and living without God. Ryan started the blog "Year Without God" and continued his work with a popular podcast, "Life After God," documenting his journey out of the church. Ryan reflects on the ten-year anniversary of leaving behind his work as a pastor and how his views on god and religion have changed in that time. Ryan discusses his shift in focus from the "god question" to humanism and his work in organizing and tenant rights. Follow Ryan on Twitter: www.twitter.com/ryanjbell Follow Ryan's Substack: https://ryanbell.substack.com/ SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: http://www.TeamDollemore.comNEW MERCH AVAILABLE AT: http://www.dollemore.info Join the private Facebook listener group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1770575259637583 Send a text or voicemail of fewer than three minutes to (657) 464-7609.Show Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/IDoubtPodcastShow Twitter- http://www.twitter.com/IDoubtItPodcastJesse on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/dollemoreBrittany on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/brittanyepageSupport the show – Buy a T-Shirt, Hoodie, Mug, or Tote – https://www.dollemore.infoPatreon – http://www.dollemore.com/patreonPayPal – http://www.dollemore.com/paypalAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
