Authentic Relationships

According to Barna, millennials and Gen Z desire authentic relationships and meaningful connections. A good Christian church provides a supportive community where individuals can build lasting friendships, find mentors, and experience a sense of belonging that combats feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Why has Christianity lost authenticity? Why is religion not of God? Its foundation is pride! Religion says: "Look how good I am instead of - Look how good He has been to me." We must walk in humility to serve instead of pride and having a desire to be served!
