Today’s guest, Rodney Stark, is a distinguished Social Sciences Professor at Baylor University and a Pulitzer Prize winner. He has written over 150 articles and 31 books.

Title: Part 2 of 2
Topic: Christian Apologetics

According to recent surveys by Barna, most Christians who do not regularly attend church say they don’t go because of other Christians! They find other Christians have a “holier-than-thou” attitude or they talk but don’t listen.

In fact, the survey found that nearly four in ten (37 percent) of un-churched Americans avoid attending church because of painful past experiences with the church or people in the church. Christians are supposed to be the “good people”. What has happened to our nation when people who want to attend church don’t because of its people? What can we do to get back on track and help those who need Him the most?
