Ken talks with his guest Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean author of Almost Christian: What the Faith of Our Teenagers is Telling the American Church (Oxford University Press). Based on the National Study of Youth and Religion, Dean's compelling new book investigates why American teenagers are at once so positive about Christianity and at the same time so apathetic about genuine religious practice. American teenagers have embraced a hodgepodge of self-serving, feel-good beliefs that bears little resemblance to traditional Christianity. What is to be done? In order to produce ardent young Christians, Dean argues, churches must rediscover their sense of mission and model an understanding of being Christian.
