Podcast with Thom S. Rainer on How Church-going Can Help Our Anxious Population

Topic: How Church-going Can Help Our Anxious Population.

Throughout its history, churches have played a key role in America. But today the church seems to be waning in influence these days, overall. Meanwhile, one church expert of our time is Thom S. Rainer, the founder and CEO of Church Answers. He has more than 40 years of ministry experience. His latest book notes this on the back cover: “A new generation is going to church. But is the church ready?” The name of the book is The Anxious Generation Goes to Church. In a day with a dominance of social media—for good or ill—Rainer writes, “The church offers the Anxious Generation a place where their lives can be changed for the better.” In short, churches can offer a place of belonging, acceptance, purpose, and community. Rainer adds, “Digital relationships cannot replace in-person relationships.” Thom S. Rainer joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss how churches can help our worried fellow citizens. www.churchanswers.com
