For the past 30 years surveys have shown that waves of youth have exited the church. In this second of two shows, Sean Genung, 31, and Rebekah Genung, 23, join Mike to discuss what they see happening with youth. We begin this broadcast by looking at the results of a survey of youth that showed: “I don’t believe some of the things I hear talked about at religious gatherings.” – 60% “I do not like to be told answers about faith and religion. I’d rather discover my own answers.” 58% “Because other things help me find meaning in my life, I don’t need a faith community.” 56% “I don’t feel like I can be my full self in a religious organization.” 55% “Religious communities try to fix my problem instead of just being there for me.” 54% “Religion, faith, or religious leaders will try to give me answers, but I am looking for something else.” 53% Mike, Sean, and Bekah discuss these topics and more, including the idols that youth and adults are paying homage to.

For the past 30 years surveys have shown that waves of youth have exited the church. With such a mass exit of youth, why aren’t we hearing warnings and open discussions of this from our pulpits? If you were owner of a company and your customers were leaving in mass wouldn’t you be freaking out, calling meetings, making plans? One survey showed that 70-88% of Christian youth born in evangelical homes leave the faith after one year in secular college. In this first of two shows, Sean Genung, 31, and Rebekah Genung, 23, join Mike to discuss what they see happening with youth.

The first broadcast of every year, Mike Genung shares his back story, which includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, alcohol and drug use, daily binges with pornography and masturbation, affairs, other forms of sexual sin – and how God radically changed his life. Rebekah joins Mike for this show.

Mike and Rebekah, his daughter, discuss the new “Six Seven” trend in youth with occult influence, Jesus’ words to “Remember Lot’s Wife” in these last days, and the wonderful blessings God promises every believer who overcomes in Revelation 2 and 3, including:

Rev. 2:7 – He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’

Rev. 2:17 – To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

Rev. 3:5-6 – The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

Rev. 3:12 – The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.

Today, men are up against: A culture, even in some churches, that tries to emasculate them. The media often portrays fathers as useless idiots. A sex-saturated society, with sirens of lust everywhere. There is often little help equipping them in these areas, including at the church. The battles with the flesh – learning how to “buffet our body and make it our slave” Learning how to fulfill the command for Husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. The isolation that is so prevalent in the church. How to be a leader in their home? Mike and Tim Peterson, counselor and leader of the Blazing Grace men’s ministry, discuss how men can find their way – and most importantly, their heart – so they can thrive and make an impact in today’s challenging environment.

Mike shares stories from his last trip in the UK, Finland, and Italy speaking about porn and sexual issues and The Rogue Christian topics, the warfare encountered, doors that that were opened, and walks through The Rogues Creed – 7 principles for the Rogue Christian way of life.
