Well, the state of Christianity in America and the West is interesting to say the least.

And if you listen to this show, you probably already believe that it's problematic.

But today we're going to be covering some data that is not just the thinking fellows making up or reciting anecdotes about how the state of

Christianity in America or the West is declining or bad, because Bruce, he pays attention

better than we do to things that are happening in the world of Christianity.

And he shared with us a survey published by Ligonier and is it Lifeway

publishing. And they do a survey on the state of Christianity. They ask doctrinal questions.

They have a whole methods section that you can look at too. It's a very interesting

survey. You can see, I'll put a link to the immediate information about the survey and some of

the sample questions that they show, but you can click into it, and it's free, and you can filter

just like you can filter regionally, you can filter by income, you can filter by gender,

you can filter by like all sorts of things. And it gives you this snapshot of Christianity

in America and what people believe, teach, confess about particular doctrines. And we're

going to talk about some of the results of this survey today.

I think I'll be able to even get fancy with the editing and some of the survey questions

that we show.

I'll be able to show on screen in the final version of this podcast.

Do we get to see it on screen?

I was not that prepared.

But viewers will get to see it on screen? I was not that prepared. But viewers will get to see this on screen.

So if you're just a listener of the Thinking Fellows podcast and you want to just quickly see this,

you can go to YouTube.
