Listen in as TCM Staff and Contributors C. E'Jon Moore, J.F. Arnold, Adrienne Johnston, and Nick Ahern discuss Andrew Marin's article, "I Hugged a Man in His Underwear. And I Am Proud." What does it mean to apologize to the gay community as a Christian? Can one person or a small group of individuals apologize on behalf of the Church? Is this genuine? Is this where the conversation begins?

David Kinnaman talks "You Lost Me" (Pt. 3) 12:00 AM
Listen in as C.E. Moore shares the line with Dr. David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Research Group (www.barna.org), as they discuss his new book, "You Lost Me: Why Young Christians Are Leaving Church...And Rethinking Faith." (Part 3 of 3)
About You Lost Me:
Based on new research conducted by the Barna Group, You Lost Me exposes ways the Christian community has failed to equip young adults to live "in but not of" the world--to follow Christ in the midst of profound cultural change. This wide-ranging study debunks persistent myths about young dropouts and examines the likely consequences for young adults and for the church if we maintain the status quo.
The faith journeys of the next generation are a challenge to the established church, but they can also be a source of hope for the community of faith. Kinnaman, with the help of contributors from across the Christian spectrum, offers ideas for pastors, youth leaders, parents, and educators to pass on a vibrant, lasting faith, and ideas for young adults to find themselves in wholehearted pursuit of Christ.
About David Kinnaman:
David Kinnaman is the author of You Lost Me and president of The Barna Group, which provides research and resources that facilitate spiritual transformation in people's lives. Since joining Barna in 1995, David has designed and analyzed nearly five hundred studies for a variety of churches, nonprofits, and corporations.
