Sharing Faith
“Followers of Christ have something essential and meaningful to share with their families, neighbors, friends and those they come into contact with,”
Prayer in America
“What we found gives us a much more nuanced portrait of the American prayer life. The most notable aspect of which is it’s individual quality.

Corporate prayer and corporate needs are less compelling drivers in people’s prayer lives.”

Things not to say to your single friends:
Holiness of God
“The results jump off the page as the strongly disagree column spikes to 61%. That conviction is fundamentally a conviction about the character of God. If he is perfectly holy and just, he cannot let sin go unpunished. But God is no longer holy—in the minds of six out of ten Americans.”
Confronting Issues
Young adults are unable to think coherently about moral beliefs and problems. Young adults have an excessive focus on consumption and materialism as the good life.
Ethics
