Are LDS Young Single Adults Okay?

from By Small & Simple Screens · host Austin Falter

In this episode, I sit down with Camden Harwood to talk honestly about the struggles many Gen Z Latter-day Saints are quietly facing right now.From post-mission aimlessness to social media addiction, dating apps, loneliness, pornography, faith transitions, and the emotional pressure of young single adult culture, this conversation gets very real.We discuss:Why so many returned missionaries feel directionless after coming homeHow social media and isolation reinforce anxiety and discouragementThe emotional effects of dating apps like Mutual and HingeWhy loneliness and shame can deepen faith strugglesThe reality of singles ward culture and post-mission expectationsAnd how meaningful friendship and Christ-centered community actually help people stay groundedThis isn’t a doom-and-gloom conversation—it’s an honest one.Whether you’re navigating these struggles yourself or trying to better understand what Gen Z is experiencing, I think this episode will resonate deeply.Purchase "Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids" https://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kidsPurchase "He Lives: A Rhyming Testimony of the Living Christ"https://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/he-lives-a-rhyming-testimony-of-the-living-christCheck Out My LDS Kids Show (Brother Sunbeam) https://youtube.com/@BrotherSunbeam?si=WuFxgFJ1IgxZ1jJmFollow Me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/smallsimplescreens/Subscribe to my YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@SmallSimpleScreensBy Small & Simple Screens helps Latter-day Saints see what movies, books, and media are actually teaching about God, family, and the world… I analyze kids’ stories, symbolism, and storytelling patterns through a gospel lens—not to cancel culture or panic parents, but to help families raise discerning kids in a media-saturated world.Disclaimer:This podcast and its content reflect my personal views and analysis as a Latter-day Saint parent, creator, and storyteller.
