@ryanburge That 12% in the Silent gen represents folks who could be in their 90s. Coupled with SBC churches' tendency to baptize predominantly in the youngest age categories, there's no way to replace the lost members. Membership rolls are inflated too; look at the avg weekly attendance.
Do you want to know why you are potentially having issues in your ministry? The number one discipler of your congregation is social media. These Troll Farms exist to create dissension and factions preying on both the right and the left of the political spectrum.

It has already been a wonderful weekend celebrating with current and former members and we look forward to continuing the celebration tomorrow. Please join us tomorrow at 9 or 11 am & worship with us.
@JonTyson A big part of the solution will be everyone cutting others slack on responding to msgs. It’s almost on the level of shaming when someone doesn’t respond when you expected they would.
Some breaking news: @dandarling urged his fellow evangelicals to be vaccinated. Today he was fired by the National Religious Broadcasters

@JToddL@IMB_SBC I’m surprised by this. The chart shows 57% of churches give to the IMB, and the 2025 target is for that to reach 75%. I always thought 100% of churches give to the IMB, but I guess this figure excludes CP giving.
@bartbarber I’m intrigued by the lectionary and church calendar, but inexperienced in using them.
Isn’t calling something in the context of corporate worship “extra biblical” an application of the regulative principle?
I wrote all this during staff lunch for fun as we chatted. Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, and even 5 Love Languages. I think I’m ready for corporate consulting 🤣.
I keep seeing variations of this on my TL. I truly feel for the academics and content creators whose livelihoods are wrapped up in hard drives and word processors.
