About this Podcast:

The number of persons that identify as "practicing Christians" as been reduced by half since 2000. This podcast and its website (DearChristianity.net) are framed by three BIG ideas: 1. Christianity has an obvious and serious problem - a crisis that will be written about in future history books - 2. Owing to a widespread and fundamental misunderstanding re the essence of Christianity (that it's merely a lifestyle), 3. And the solution is simple and extravagantly good. This is a weekly place to help listeners think more deeply about three essential ingredients for life: faith, hope, and love.
