Everyone used to think that kids would come back to church when they grew up. But, after they left for college, they never looked back.

In fact, young adults today are three times more likely to be religiously unaffiliated than older adults. Every year, thousands of churches that were once filled with young families are closing their doors forever. A large majority of the rest have simply slipped into generational irrelevance. What happened?

Instead of bridging generational language gaps, the church has insisted on maintaining a one-size-fits-all approach to ministry (usually optimized for older generations). But, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Speaking Their Language will lead you through a research-based, field-tested process to help you translate the never-changing truth of Jesus into the ever-changing language of younger generations. Your congregation should be laser-focused about who you’re trying to reach and have a viable plan for how you’ll do it.

While many church revitalization books offer best practices, this book focuses on the best process—because it leads to right-sized outcomes that fit your context.
