The single greatest reason why we are losing a generation is because the home is no longer the place of the transference of the faith. We live in a day of ‘outsourcing’…Today, we have a generation of people that outsource their kids.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The home should be a place where values and beliefs are passed down, but many parents are relying too much on external sources.
This quote emphasizes the critical role that the home plays in shaping the morals, values, and beliefs of a generation. Tony Evans suggests that when parents fail to actively engage in the spiritual and moral upbringing of their children, often outsourcing this responsibility to others, society faces a significant loss in cultural and spiritual continuity.

Every four years, the eyes of America become riveted on the national election returns. But God's first concern during any political season is not the same as our first concern - it is not about what is happening, or going to happen, in the White House. God's first concern is what is happening, or not happening, in His house.
