What does a healthy church look like? What are the biggest problems in the church today?  According to the 2023 loneliness surveys, 52% of Americans report feeling lonely and about 47% said their relationships with others aren’t meaningful. For a long time, the church has filled that gap for many until recently. As of today, however, about 1.2 million people are leaving the church every year.   Pastor Bobby Lopez is the co-founder of Passion LA, Director of Passionate Leaders Network, and a United States Marine veteran.  Bobby speaks openly about his childhood trauma, including being raised by drug dealers and gang members, and the importance of emotional and mental health to his congregations and youth leaders.  Expect to learn about the loneliness epidemic in America, the biggest problems in the church, how to be a healthy leader, Pastor Bobby’s saving grace stories, how to stay hopeful in this seemingly hopeless climate, and more.  Welcome to Discover More!  Let's get this started. *Rate The Podcast: HERE Show NotesPassion LA Website: HEREDonate: HEREPassion LA TikTok: HERE *Subscribe to YouTube: HEREDiscover More Website: HEREShort-form on Instagram: HERE *Discover More is a top ten social sciences podcast for independent thinkers who appreciate the importance of mental health and social sciences.
