The Outsider Interviews Book Trailer

According to statistics, young adults are more disenchanted with the church than ever.

Beyond the statistics are the stories—real people with real opinions and real experiences. These people are more than just numbers. They are your son or daughter, the barista at your favorite café, a young coworker, the college student you sit next to at church.

What if we took the time to listen to the voices behind these statistics? What if we sat down and talked face to face with some of these people and really heard what they had to say?

That is exactly what Jim Henderson, Todd Hunter, and Craig Spinks do in The Outsider Interviews. Journey with them as they travel the country interviewing young adults, listening to their candid stories and probing questions about Christianity. Come along. Meet these amazing young people. See the hearts behind the charts . . . and start some conversations of your own.

The Outsider Interviews is a DVB: a DVD plus Book. Watch the interviews. Read the book. Which will you do first? It's up to you.

I like the comment about "They don't do what's in the Bible"

I'm sure you included it as a call to follow the Bible, but I'm almost sure he meant it as a "They eat shelfish and don't stone adulterers" sort of way.

When I watched this video it just made me laugh. Like I or anyone else really cares what the stupid, uninformed youth think about anything. The very fact that someone claims someone else is "judgmental" is itself a judgment which means they are themselves being judgmental when they claim "so and so is judgmental!".

Jesus Christ taught to judge rightly (John 7:24). Paul criticized the Corinthians for not judging their local church as they ought to have (all of 1 Corinthians 5 and 1 Cor 6:1-5).

This is an interesting project. I am an atheist after having been heavily involved in the church for a number of years. I'd like to see more of these interviews. Thank you.

Most of this problem is because their perception isn't faulty.

Religion has largely failed to adapt to modernity. It can take refuge in postmodernism and make truth as fuzzy as possible, or hide in fundamentalism and pretend it's the bronze age (or whenever it would prefer) or shed beliefs as they become falsified.

Only the last option is really viable if you want to have a functioning, modern society - but it doesn't leave much of a religion.
