Brad Griffin – Sticky Faith

When we have family gatherings the kids sit at the kids table and the adults sit at the adult table.


This has been identified as a problem in the church.


We liken churches to family gatherings in which there are 2 tables: the “adults table” and the “kids table”. Theoretically, everyone’s at the same meal but these are very different experiences.

Research is showing that the more people spend time together across generations the more faith of young people sticks
