3. Good News About Millennials
“Millennials are more interested than other generations
in the Bible and what the Bible teaches on topics like life,
death, marriage, money, finances and even digital life.”
Dave Kinnaman, president of Barna Group: 2015
• 48% of Millennials
chose small-group Bible study
(social and intellectual aspects
of Christianity)
• 33% chose image
of growing flower
(personal growth
and cultivating beauty)

4. (54-72 years) (38-53) (19-37) (13-
18)
Percentage of Worldview by Generation
2015 Barna survey of pastors revealed:
•Only 1% said “today’s churches are doing very well at discipling new and young believers”
•60% felt churches are discipling “not too well”
•8% believed their own church was discipling “very well”
•Less than 2% of evangelical US Christians witness weekly to unbelievers or annually lead someone to Christ.
•90% of all US Christians will never share their faith with anyone in their lifetime!
•95% of all US Christian believers have NEVER led anybody to Christ!
(2013 Research from: Barna Research Group, Southern Baptist Life Commission, Josh McDowell and Campus Crusade for Christ, Focus on the Family, Church of
the Nazarene Research, Evangelical Covenant Church study, The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion—last three listed statistics)

9. Sync with God
Connecting Your Life to God’s Story
“I didn’t see God’s bigger picture from the Bible until I began reading the
material from Sync with God. I feel like God loves me in a more personal
way, in a way that I had not felt before! Thanks for showing me this and let
me know when I can have it in my phone so I can daily read more!”
(comment from Millennial friend of Dan Jester)
