Reformed Christianity

A question posted on another forum, but I thought it might be good to discuss here. Do you think it's true? And if true, why might that be?

It's becoming more and more apparent that the next generation is different than Boomers and GenXers. And our methods of evangelism and outreach may not be actually reaching Millennials and Gen Z.

So what does your church do or what ideas do you have to reach them with the gospel?

Wanted to cross-post something I am trying to do daily on the dit.reformed.social instance, just to spur on some discussion and encouragement!

Ask any questions here. Sidebar rules do apply.

Hello!

Our son (7) has expressed a desire to take communion and be Baptist (praise God!). We have been holding off for now until we were sure of his desire as the communion aspect of it was definitely initially spurred on by a friend who partakes.

Over the last year he has pretended to take it with us and I've been supportive with him in it as I in no way want to deter him from wanting to join in. He's grown so much and it's becoming clear to me that his faith may be genuine. He understands the gospel and even prays through it at bed time. He knows the purpose of communion, not perfectly but clearly understands the main point.

Thoughts on letting him partake in communion? Especially before baptism? Thoughts on baptism? We're credo Baptists.

Do you have questions that aren't worth it's own post? Ask 'em here.

We're small, but hey... If you got any somewhat almost relevant memes, post them in the community

How It is clear from scripture that Christians must be pro-life.

I apologize if this is not appropriate for this community. But, I find the main reason I feel this way is because of my Christian faith. I've gone on Reddit twice this month to check for specific discussions or questions I had. I only ever used Reddit on a third party app, so I was upset but what was happening.

But surprisingly, I feel even more alienated and hated on here than I did on Reddit. Pro Life communities seem to be banned. I think there were one or two at some point, but I can't find any now. This community has very low engagement and content, which I understand.

I'm kinda in the middle politically, trying to let my faith guide my politics, but there doesn't seem to be a place for that here. The people here seem to be further left than Reddit and more intolerant of Christianity.

I think it makes sense. Of course the most "activist-minded" people would leave Reddit. Perhaps the most outspoken people. I left Reddit because dislike browsing it outside of RIF.

I feel myself more and more drawn to Reddit lately. There's obviously still a vast majority of people on there that my beliefs are still hated. But, there are enough people to carve out little communities of like-minded people.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. Apologies if it doesn't fit.

Is it to indicate the link between here and /r/reformed?

Full disclosure: I haven't really listened to this yet. But I'm wondering... Can Pastors really be trusted again in our society? Certainly they can and should be trusted by Christians.. But society as a whole seems destined to be more and more suspicious of Christians and Christian leaders.
