Discipleship & the Future of the Church (Ray Chang)

he church is at a crossroads. With rising disaffiliation and declining trust, how can we re-engage the next generation? How do we stop the drift and disciple effectively in today's world?

In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer welcomes Raymond Chang, Executive Director of 10x10 Collaboration at Fuller Seminary and co-author of Future Focused Church. They explore:

Key Topics:
The "10x10" Initiative: Engaging 10 million young people in faith over 10 years
Why are so many young adults leaving the church? (And how do we respond?)
How relational discipleship can transform church engagement
The biggest leadership & trust challenges churches face today
How to build a "Transformation Team" to drive church renewal
Why churches need a change map: Here, There, Who, & How
Practical steps for reshaping church culture & mission

Thinking Christian is hosted by Dr. James Spencer, president of the D. L. Moody Center and author of Digital Discernment (InterVarsity Press). Each conversation reads the Bible as the final authority for life and faith, questioning the assumptions of our culture, even our Christian culture, so that we don't settle for a narrower vision than God's word offers.

Unsettling convention. Cultivating conviction.
