The Lifeway Research team interviews Jana Magruder, Lifeway Director of Kids Ministry on recent research best predictors of spiritual health among young adults. Lifeway Research partnered with Jana and her Kid’s Ministry team to survey parents on what factors during childhood had the biggest impact on the spiritual health of young adults.
Jana’s team wanted to discover insights that would help them equip church leaders desiring to equip parents to disciple their children at home.
The biggest factor predicting their spiritual health as young adults is whether they read the Bible regularly as kids.
AW Tozer’s quote, “Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian” inspired the name of the book on the research findings.
