Giving Thanks For Gen-Z
from The Lion Week in Review · host The Herzog Foundation
Chris Stigall and The Lion’s managing editor Josh Mann unpack the biggest cultural shifts happening right now: Gen Z is flocking to Jesus in numbers not seen since the 1970s—while at the same time pockets of the same generation flirt with socialism. Support for same-sex marriage and transgender identities is quietly dropping among young adults. Public school enrollment is collapsing even as spending hits record highs. And in a lonely, screen-addicted culture, people are rediscovering the lost art of real-life hospitality. From college revivals to empty classrooms to the slow death of “trans kids” ideology, this is the cultural pivot conservatives and Christians have been praying for—and the data is finally catching up.00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:19 - Rising Hostility Toward Churches (Even as They Grow)00:02:47 - Gen Z: Revival on Campus + Flirtation with Socialism00:04:23 - Zoomers Cooling on Same-Sex Marriage00:07:50 - Marriage: Biblical vs. Government Contract00:08:28 - Public School Enrollment in Freefall00:10:19 - Spending Up, Results Down, Administrators Explode00:13:10 - Left-Leaning Media Finally Admits Public Ed Disaster00:15:20 - The Trans Tide Turning (Europe & U.S.)00:18:06 - Sharp Drop in Trans/Queer ID Among College Students00:19:43 - Social Contagion Fading + the Search for Meaning00:22:11 - Screens, Isolation, and the Lost Art of Hospitality00:25:11 - Thanksgiving Blessing00:25:32 - Faith & Freedom 250: Theodore RooseveltFollow Heartlander News on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.
