Pastor Joey starts off the Church series with a moving conviction as he shared some sobering stats, 64% or 2/3 of emerging adults after high school walk away from church for some period of time, and at least a quarter of EAs don’t ever come back to church. He then encouraged us to be resilient in our faith and how important having a solid identity in Christ is to developing that resilience. And finally, that that identity in Jesus is shaped within a context, having the right context of people and circumstances really matters. He had a heartfelt appeal not to walk away, but to remain in a church context to live your best life because its where you have ppl that support your faith and encourage growth in Jesus.
