Evangelicals Believe What!?

Today I talk about some shocking responses to a survey conducted by Ligonier Ministries and Lifeway Research. You can follow along here: thestateofthelogy.com

How is it that 100% of the respondents to this survey affirm that, “The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe,” and yet 53% believe the Holy Spirit is a force and not a person?

I talk about these and other findings from this survey and start preaching a little about how I think church is viewed by many Americans.

John Wilkerson

Since I was a kid I’ve loved technology. My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20. My first gaming console was an Atari 2600. Saturday morning cartoons were my crack.

Those formative years gave me a passion for things that light up and beep. These days I tend to binge on social media and Netflix.

I’ve been married to my fantastic wife for 27 years and have 7 awesome kids, a fancy daughter-in-law, and the cutest grandsons on the planet.

My wife and I homeschooled all of our kids. Well, my wife homeschooled them and I tried to help.

Mostly I just got in the way and distracted them from their learning. That’s what dads are supposed to do, right?

Every day I struggle to follow Jesus
Struggling for Purpose is my personal audio journal of faith and folly. Most of the time it seems more like folly than faith. Sometimes I interview people I find interesting.

Join me as I struggle for purpose in my daily life.

“Dear brothers and sisters…I urge you…to join in my struggle…”
—Romans 15:30 (NLT)
