		<description><![CDATA[One of the tragic things that I witness as a pastor is people slowing walking away from God.  To be clear, most people don&#8217;t just abruptly decide to stop following the Lord.  No, the vast majority of the time it&#8217;s a slow fade.  It&#8217;s all too predictable too.

Certainly, at a minimum, it's usually a very time-consuming process because you can only really check out a church once a week.  It can be a frustrating process as well.
