Why your congregation can't connect (and it's not what you think)
The cultural shift that's fragmenting your flock—and the biblical solution hiding in plain sight

Dear Church Leader,
What if I told you that the biggest threat to authentic community in your church isn't theological disagreement, generational conflict, or even busy schedules—but something as simple as Netflix?
Think of the time your congregation last had a shared cultural moment—something everyone experienced together at the same time that they could reference in conversation.
**Silence**
We've lost something fundamental, and most of us don't even realize it's gone.
