Why are so many people falling away from the Lord and what can we do to help them?

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual

revolution. Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President of Fire School of

Ministry. Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth. That's 86634 Truth. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Hey friends, this is Michael Brown. And what we're going to do today and tomorrow is to dig into the many comments that you posted on Twitter and Facebook, answering this question, in your view, why are so many people falling away from the faith?

past, you considered yourself a follower of Jesus, a Bible believer, and you no longer do,

you may be very hostile. You may be watching or listening to the broadcast because you're angry

and you just, you don't like what I have to say,

but you feel you need to know what I'm saying because I influence people.

It could be because you're still wondering, is it possible?

Is there a ray of hope that your beliefs were right?

It could be that you're hurting and that you're looking for an answer,
