In last week's presidential election, a critical portion of president-elect Barack Obama's support came from young people, many of whom claimed to be evangelical Christians. Stephen Baldwin says many youth today are not connected to, or concerned about, issues that have traditionally impacted evangelicals. "This up-and-coming generation -- the kids that are 9, 10, and 11, right up until about 19 years old right now -- they are the furthest away from God ever in our country's history," he contends.

He can be heard with Kevin McCullough every Saturday night on BMXRadioNow.com.
