How Do We Pass Our Faith to the Next Generation?: Collin Outerbridge
You carted them to church. Youth group. Maybe even the mission trip. So why are so many kids leaving the faith once they start thinking for themselves? Dr. Collin Outerbridge has studied unchurched and de-churched Gen Z—and he’s a dad in the thick of it. He joins Dave and Ann Wilson to unpack what’s competing for your kid’s heart and how parents can respond before, “I don’t believe this anymore.”

Looking for a way to keep going?
These six conversations are just a glimpse into the type of conversations prompted by our new marriage study, Art of Marriage, currently 25% off through August 31.
If you’ve been craving more—more connection, more understanding, more joy together—Art of Marriage is a powerful next step. This six-session, video-based study dives into the core of how to love our spouse the way God loves us: how to have an unwavering love no matter the challenge, a love full of strength and resiliency, a love that is selfless, a love that forgives because of the grace He has shown us, a love so intimate that you feel fully known and seen, and a love that is a representation of Christ just in how others see you love each other.
You can walk through it with friends, a small group, host an event at your church, or go through it with just the two of you. Learn more or preview session one at ArtofMarriage.com
