A Lost Generation

On this podcast ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall has Glenn Ellison founder and CEO of the Parent Help Center in Jacksonville Florida as his special guest. As Dr. Hall introduced Glenn Ellison, he acknowledged that he was a high school All-American football player with dreams of someday playing in the NFL, only to have those dreams dashed when he was kicked out of college. After a stint in the Marine Corps, he got the chance to play for the Oakland Raiders as a walk-on. The moral of Glenn Ellison’s personal story is to keep pushing, keep believing, and never underestimate the power of your resilience. Today, Glenn Ellison is leading an organization that helps parents bring peace back into their families. Dr. Hall and his guest begin by discussing the deep decline in church attendance in the US. They begin this podcast by discussing the characteristics of the generation known as the Millennials, those born between 1982 and 2001. These are the parents of those born after 2001 and referred to as Generation Z. Some refer to Generation Z as the first post-Christian generation, a generation that is clearly more irreligious than previous generations. It is reported that Generation Z has the least positive outlook and the highest prevalence of mental illness of any generation. The podcast ends with an admonition to grandparents, parents, family, and friends to recognize their responsibility to talk to this generation about God and Jesus Christ.
