Description: Discover crucial insights into why youth are departing from the church in this essential talk. In addition, uncover ways to reverse this trend! You will understand the profound significance of the book of Genesis in addressing contemporary challenges. Delve into the pressing issues behind the exodus of young church-raised individuals in today’s culture. By pinpointing the timing and reasons for their departure, Carl sheds light on how we can effectively tackle this critical issue. Leveraging research on conservative church-raised 20-year-olds who have walked away, he reveals the when and why and presents practical solutions for overcoming this pressing concern.
Speaker: Carl Kerby was first introduced to apologetics by two pilots after he’d told them evolution was compatible with the Bible, which is what he’d been taught in Sunday school. These men pulled out their Bible and showed him that what the WORLD taught wasn’t the same as what the WORD taught. With 50% to 88% of the younger generation raised in the church leaving the church by the age of 18, Carl’s desire is for them to KNOW what they’re walking away from. This can only happen if they’re able to critically think and evaluate arguments so they can determine truth.
Carl would say he doesn’t enjoy speaking, at times he’s terrified of it. However, seeing people get excited because they realize they can trust the Word of God inspires him to continue on. When he’s not speaking, Carl loves being with his family and friends. He also enjoys the ocean – snorkeling, boogie boarding or fishing. Carl has two honorary Doctorates and a degree in Biblical Studies. However, his most important credentials would be SSBGTFIC – (Sinner Saved By Grace Through Faith In Christ) and husband/father and grandfather. Carl’s talks can be found here.
