Brian interviews Jake Meador, editor-in-chief of Mere Orthodoxy and author of two books, In Search of the Common Good: Christian Fidelity in a Fractured World and What are Christians for?: Life Together at the End of the World. Jake also serves as a contributing editor with Plough and as a board member with the Davenant Institute.
The conversation explores the topic of church attendance as a proxy for religious activity in the United States. Jake discusses the "de-churching" movement, which refers to the significant decline in church attendance rates over the past 25 years. The conversation delves into the impact of de-churching on society, the reasons behind it, and the potential for a resurgence in church attendance. The conversation explores the impact of de-churching and secularization on faith communities in the US as well as challenges faced by millennials and zoomers seeking a faith home, the regional differences in secularization, and the potential realignment of political parties as a result. The conversation also touches on the rise of virtual communities and the future of organized religion in a changing demographic landscape. Jake emphasizes the need for Christians to rethink how they communicate the gospel and the importance of intentional community in countering de-churching trends.
