Description
There is something radically wrong in our world today. Stereotypes, labels, shallow façades are dictating how we should act, think, and feel. In the churches there is a false expectation of perfectionism, and the perceived inauthenticity has caused many Christians to leave the churches in mass droves. As the young adults flock in exodus away from the church there is an unspoken condemnation that haunts many of them. Though in name they still claim Christianity, their lifestyle and beliefs do not reflect the Christianity taught in within many church buildings. Restoring Authenticity looks at this dilemma and asks the difficult questions of why young adults leave and what it means to be authentic in the faith. Ultimately, it is a journey. The journey of healing, of restoration, of returning to person God created. It is a return to authenticity. But even more than that, it is a journey to restoring authenticity within the churches, within the homes and communities, and within ourselves.
