We’re leaving behind organized religion in shocking numbers. In 1988, 17% of Americans said they never attended religious services. By 2021, this almost doubled to 31%. Church membership in the US has dropped below 50% for the first time in history. Even as the population grows, somewhere between 6,000 & 10,000 churches close down every year. Listen in as Dr. Phil and his guests delve into the hot topic of religion’s shifting role in today’s society. They unpack the societal impacts, share relatable stories of feeling disconnected from traditional practices, and brainstorm innovative ways for religious institutions to stay relevant in the modern age.
The conversation balances the proven community perks of religious involvement with candid tales of disillusionment and hypocrisy that drive some away from organized faith. It’s a deep dive into navigating faith in the 21st century, blending hard data with personal insights, and spotlighting the urgent need for religious institutions to evolve while staying true to their core spiritual values.
