Bryan Chapell Diagnoses Our Generational Crisis In The Church

Card image cap

Across the United States, we see a generational crisis in our churches. Older and younger Christians often don’t understand each other and their differing priorities and perspectives. It’s understandable, since in only one generation, our culture has dropped from 90 percent identifying as Christian to less than half belonging to a church and only 3 percent participating in weekly worship.

Bryan Chapell has written a new book, The Multigenerational Church Crisis: Why We Don’t Understand Each Other and How to Unite in Mission, that demonstrates remarkable breadth and depth of understanding of these issues. Published by Baker, The Multigenerational Church Crisis sketches a way forward that can keep the church on mission during our turbulent times.

Bryan is the president of Unlimited Grace Media. He’s a Council member of The Gospel Coalition and also leads the administrative committee of the Presbyterian Church in America. Bryan has seen how monogenerational churches die with the generation that dominates them. And he wants our churches to maintain faithfulness across many generations. That’s hard to do today when so many evangelicals feel a sense of cultural loss and direct their anger toward fellow Christians they fault for failing to resist liberalism and secularism with sufficient zeal.

Bryan joined me on Gospelbound to discuss the causes and solutions for the multigenerational church crisis.
