I often hear pastors complaining about how so many youth leave the Church after they graduate from high school. Youth pastors especially seem to live in fear that a diploma in the hands of their once vibrant young disciples will turn them into hard and fast sceptics who can no longer find time for church.<\/p>\n

\"youth\"That’s why it seemed so unusual when I heard of this one church that seems to be doing the opposite of everyone else. Instead of trying to hold onto their youth, they’re trying to get rid of them!<\/p>\n

While other\u00a0youth leaders are using any trick in the book to somehow get their kids to stick around, this church is saying, “Go ahead and leave if you want to!”<\/p>\n

Is this some sort of reverse phycology trick? Why would any church do such a thing?<\/p>\n
