Four out of five people who say they go to church every week... don't.


Hi Reader,

You've probably seen the typical survey that reports something along the lines of, '22% of Americans attend church every week.'

One in five people, sitting in a pew every Sunday.

What if that's not true?

A researcher named Devin Pope got access to data suggesting the surveys aren't accurate. He tracked people's cell phone data.

So... what does this mean?

Lying about attending church? I think there are two reactions worth having as a church leader.

I find some of this oddly hopeful... the desire is still there, people still want to be connected to faith, and they just need a reason to actually show up.

Cheering for you,

P.S. Yes, rain lowers church attendance. Which means some people are fair-weather Christians in the most literal sense possible.
