ㅤ
If you're in a season of sabbatical, rest, or summer planning, here are 4 trends worth taking into that quiet time before fall hits.
ㅤ
📊 Check out the latest release from the State of the Church
ㅤ
1 - Spiritual openness is growing — but discipleship isn't keeping pace.
2 - Gen Z men are leading in church attendance, while Gen Z women are quietly walking away.
3 - Prayer is more resilient than you think — and more strategic than you might realize.
4 - AI is already forming the people in your pews. How can you respond?
ㅤ
