Summary

In the past decade, 16 million American women have left the Christian church, according to author and journalist Ericka Andersen. “The reasons are really layered,” Andersen says, “anything from overwhelm and busyness, to some that have experienced 'church hurt.'” In her new book “Reason to Return: Why Women Need the Church and the Church Needs Women,” Andersen addresses the reasons why so many women have walked away from the church, and argues why they should consider rejoining a church community. On today’s edition of the “Problematic Women” podcast, Andersen discusses her new book and shares her own personal experience with the church. Pre-order a copy of Ericka's book here.
