Faith Time: Leaving a church and reasons to stay Part I
SUMMARY: In this week’s “Faith Time,” Harvey Ears from Bethl Baptist Church discusses reasons why people leave churches and why some remain. Many have departed due to various reasons, including relocations or children aging out of programs. However, significant numbers have left due to emotional hurt caused by church leadership. On the other hand, some individuals stay lifelong. A recent book, “Why They Stay,” based on a survey of 1,400 long-term attendees, identifies common reasons, including geographical proximity to the church, personal milestones like salvation or marriage, and unexpected factors the authors found surprising. Further insights will be explored in the next hour.

We talk about why some church members leave and why some can stay their whole lives

Alabama's weekend forecast is wettest Sunday. Springlike temperatures return next week.
SUMMARY: Alabama’s weekend forecast indicates milder temperatures today, with highs near 70°F in Birmingham, ideal for outdoor activities like the Heart Walk. However, expect cooler weather tomorrow as highs drop to the 50s, accompanied by increased cloud cover and chances of scattered showers, particularly in southern areas. Rain is anticipated Sunday afternoon and evening, with thunderstorms possible further south. The pattern suggests ongoing rain chances throughout March, with drier weather midweek before another system arrives next weekend, which may bring severe storms. Additionally, Daylight Saving Time begins, affecting sleep schedules. Moderate temperatures return later in the week.
