The Church Forgot to Teach This One Thing

from Thinking Out Loud Hosted by Nathan Rittenhouse & Cameron McAllister

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister explore why so many Christians today know apologetics, theology, and controversial topics yet struggle to understand the core story of the Gospel. They discuss the growing gap in Christian discipleship, the decline of Bible reading, prayer, and church attendance, and how a failure to faithfully pass on the Christian faith across generations has contributed to widespread biblical illiteracy. Drawing on church history, cultural trends, the Old Testament, and modern evangelicalism, Nathan and Cameron examine the importance of catechesis, Christian worldview, spiritual formation, and living out the Gospel as a way of life rather than merely defending it with arguments. This thought-provoking conversation challenges Christians, parents, pastors, and church leaders to recover the power of the biblical story and intentionally transmit a vibrant, embodied faith to the next generation.
