Why Gen Z Is Turning Back to God

from Rev Dan · host Rev Dan

Why are more young people saying they believe in God, at a time when church decline feels so familiar?Recent YouGov data reported by Sky News suggests that Gen Z are more likely than other adult age groups to say they believe in God. In this podcast, I slow the story down and look beneath the headlines to ask what this actually means, what it does not mean, and why this moment may be emerging now.This is not a revival story in the easy sense, and it is not a culture-war talking point. Instead, we explore how cultural instability, exhaustion with secular promises, and a hunger for meaning may be creating new openness among younger generations, and what responsibility that places on the Church.
