The frustration is real and shared by many. Not defeated or 'negative' people as often labeled. People are not showing up any more and most have no idea why. It's going to require more than modify programs.
"For far too many of us, when we hear the word church , our eyes teat up, turn bloodshot, or glaze over, with emotions that represent the irrelevance of our communal expressions, or because we don't know what to think anymore. Our faith and loyalty used to keep us on board, bit now reality is beginning to curl over both like a 20-foot wave. ...
If you're like the authors of this book, you've gone down with a ship or two trying to make the Kingdom story tangible. You may have tried a few different churches, methods, programs, leaders, teachers, styles and sizes only to find yourself stuck on a ship that seems to be attracting no one and can barely hold your interest.... We want let you know that the unsettling feelings you are experiencing are ones that hundreds of thousands of people are also working throughout."
