Here are some key stats indicating the views of young evangelicals on hot button issues:
However, I still think we are safe saying that the moral and political views of young evangelicals are still more likely to line up with those of their parents than those of their non-evangelical peers. It is easy to simply play “blame the millennial” for all the problems in the church and culture, but the statistics don’t bear that out. The vast majority of millennials remaining in the church share the values of older members. The much larger issue is that more millennials are becoming Nones and others are looking for spiritual fulfillment outside the church. Instead of critiquing the young adults who have stayed, we should be leveraging them to reach their peers. --Ed Stetzer (Christianity Today 08.10.16 |

Feb 13, 2015: Pulpit and Pen: Ed Stetzer, Charles Spurgeon, And Preaching to Circuses
Ed Stetzer has faced some criticism lately. Criticism, of course, that began with some unkind words to a certain friend of Pulpit & Pen on Twitter and culminated in an open letter to Lifeway by one of the victims of the entity’s pursuit for filthy lucre, a young man named Alex Malarkey, which just happened to wind up first on this blog and then on every major news source and media outlet in the western world. Of course, Stetzer and others at Lifeway don’t exactly deal well with criticism.

“ISIS has stirred an odd religious debate in America today,” said Ed Stetzer, executive director of LifeWay Research. “In a nation that has long espoused religious freedom, Americans are thinking long and hard about the kind of society Islam fosters – especially the more radical groups that say they are Islamic – and whether Sharia law would ever be adopted here.”

Son of renowned Christian author and theologian Francis Schaeffer, Frank Scaeffer is no new news. He is a gregarious and outspoken atheist who "believes in faith." But this year he got embroiled in a tit-for-tat with Christianity Today and evangelical leader Ed Stetzer over a story about Bart Campolo, son of famed Christian leaders Tony and Peggy Campolo, leaving the Christian faith. On top of all this, Frank came out with a new self-published book this year, titled Why I am an Atheist Who Believes in God: How to give love, create beauty and find peace.
