How is it possible to make sense of the way Americans view and practice religious faith in the 21st century?

The “church landscape,” faith, and belief systems are all undergoing drastic change and flux in America.  How do authentic disciples of Jesus Christ make sense of and properly address it?  Opportunities for reaching people seem boundless, but we’d better be prepared for what’s out there.

The Barna Research Group provides a great resource in tracking the trends and analyzing implications. Here’s a link to a survey conducted by Barna in August, 2010. Worth taking a few minutes to read.
