Monday in the Barna classroom
I got to work this morning and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Oklahoma Christian University’s Joshua Watson was able to get me an interview today with David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group.
The Barna Group is a Ventura, Calif.-based research company whose research often focuses on the ways faith and culture intersect.
Kinnaman is best-selling co-author of the book “unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity” (2008). During our brief interview Kinnaman talked about why he wrote the book and some of the lessons Christian churches can glean from it.
Somewhere along the way, I think my “parent” hat and my “reporter” hat meshed together because I began asking him questions from a parent’s viewpoint. At that point, I think our conversation became more indepth than just the typical interview and I came away with some lessons learned about what today’s youths are saying about the Church and the adults who have helped guide their way thus far.
