Is America the next ministry graveyard, or is it ripe for spiritual revolution?

The statistics seem grim. Every year, the decline of Christian affiliation continues at a rapid pace, especially among young millennials and gen Z. What story does this tell church leaders? We’ve lost the next generation. But this decline in religious affiliation does not necessarily mean young adults are any less spiritual. They are still asking questions that only faith can fully answer.

Not a Hopeless Case is a story of questions. Pastors are asking questions about the future of the church and how they can minister to a generation many believe is beyond hope. Based on Halee Grey Scott’s sociological study of millennials and gen Z across the country, Not a Hopeless Case reveals that young adults are asking questions with the potential not only to grow into vibrant faith but also to help revitalize a church in crisis.

Are we listening?

What others are saying

"Halee has given a gift to the church in Not a Hopeless Case. We can no longer ignore the questions highlighted in this book, because a generation, and the future of the church, is at stake. We must be courageous enough to wrestle with the issues that are of concern to young adults, and this book not only names and identifies them but offers a hopeful path forward. The exodus of young people from the church can be reversed if we are willing to listen and change."
