Why People Are Leaving the Church: Trevor Whitman’s Insights on The Call with Nancy Sabato
My hope is that the church can return or move forward, I should say into a new season where it's a lot healthier than it is now.
Ever wondered why people are drifting away from the church? Trevor Whitman joins Nancy Sabato to tackle this pressing issue in an eye-opening episode of 'The Call'. Whitman dives into the top three reasons behind this exodus: abuse, hypocrisy, and consumerism. But he doesn’t just stop at identifying the problems; he also offers a hopeful perspective on how the church can heal and grow.
Through a biblical lens, Whitman explores practical solutions like shared governance, bivocational ministry, and embracing women in leadership roles. He challenges the prosperity gospel mindset, urging listeners to focus on spiritual growth rather than material wealth. Whitman’s message is clear: it’s time for the church to shift its priorities and cultivate a community rooted in genuine faith and love.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of the church and looking for ways to make it a more welcoming place for all.
