The National Study of Youth and Religion asserts that, instead of consequential faith, most American teenagers practice ",Moralistic Therapeutic Deism", - a superficial, low-commitment, self-serving spirituality that seems to characterize many American churches. Dean believes that churches must recover a ",missional mindset",-the conviction that ",we are not here for ourselves",-and that consequential faith begins by helping teenagers, parents, and congregations reclaim de-centering practices like translation, testimony, and spiritual ",detachment", (what the mystics called the ability to focus on God and others instead of ourselves).
