Why Teens Leave the Church (and How to Bring Them Back)

from Contemplatives in the World · host David DiNapoli

What if the biggest challenge teens face today isn’t social media, peer pressure, or even doubt—but not knowing what they don’t know? Fr. Tim Eck, theology teacher and Director of Divine Worship in the Diocese of Metuchen, has walked with hundreds of students through their questions about faith, meaning, and life. In this conversation, he shares why curiosity itself is an expression of love, the resurgence of reverence in liturgy, and why parents and teachers must start with their own formation if they want to pass the faith on to the next generation.
