This Is Why Gen Z Is Coming Back to God

Everyone says Gen Z is leaving religion… but what if they’re actually leading a spiritual revival?

In this episode, I sit down with David Butler to talk about what’s really going on with today’s rising generation. Are they rebelling against faith—or are they spiritually starving for something deeper, more real, and more rooted in who God really is?

We unpack the misconceptions, the pain points, and the surprising hunger that so many young people have for truth, grace, and connection with God.

If you’ve ever wondered whether faith is dying or being reborn in a new form, this conversation is for you.
