In this bold new episode of Worldview Legacy Today, Joel Settecase launches a powerful live format that takes on urgent cultural trends through the lens of biblical truth—and kicks it off by tackling one of the most pressing issues facing the church today: the crisis of men's discipleship.
📉 Did you know that 2.7 million people are leaving the church each year in the U.S., and that America is now the fourth-largest unchurched nation on Earth?
Joel breaks down the stats, exposes the root problem, and explains how the Think Institute is working to reverse the decline—one man, one household, and one local church at a time.
You’ll hear:
Why young people aren’t leaving the church because of arguments—but because they’ve never owned their faith
How father-led households are the most statistically powerful factor in long-term church engagement
What the “Charlie Kirk Effect” tells us about leadership in the family, church, and public square
Why Gen Z men are unexpectedly becoming one of the most receptive demographics to Christianity
How YOU can be part of the movement to raise up bold, equipped, worldview-rooted men for the next generation
🔨 Men are the linchpin—and when we reach fathers, we reach families, churches, and ultimately, entire communities.
