Dead Orthodoxy: Why Young Lutherans Are Leaving

In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus is joined by Pastor James Wilshusen to discuss a growing concern within the Church: why are young people—especially young men—leaving?

Together, they unpack a thought-provoking article on "dead orthodoxy" and wrestle with the tension between right doctrine and living faith. Is it possible to confess the truth and yet fail to actually live in it?

From generational shifts and the "cost of thriving," to the real struggles of young families trying to stay connected to the Church, this episode explores the deeper issues behind declining attendance and disengagement.

What role does the Church play in supporting its own members? Are we overlooking the needs right in front of us? And how do we hold fast to truth while actually loving and serving one another?

This is an honest and needed conversation about faith, vocation, and what it truly means to be the Body of Christ today.
