Sticky Faith: Everyday Ideas to Build Lasting Faith in Your Kids

Dr. Kara Powell and Dr. Chap Clark (2011) - SF: What is Sticky Faith? | Fuller Youth Institute

I don’t care how old you are or what your life situation, I want to ask you, do you have a stick faith? Is your faith one that endures, holds on even in the face of trials and adversity?

The authors offer a good perspective on teens transitioning to young adulthood in American churches.  Christian leaders, pastors, and commentators observing the church in America all bemoan the trend of teens entering adulthood and gradually or immediately giving up the faith they were taught growing up.  Powell and Clark identify why this happens and give numerous ideas for how to curb this trend.  The reader of this book who wants to see teenage faith in Jesus Christ mature into adult discipleship is encouraged.

Moreover, working through the slippery faith sometimes seen in teens, the reader will be pushed to examine whether or not he/she has stayed connected to God in Christ.
