What Nobody Wants to Hear About Gen Z | Faith+ Ep12

This episode of Faith+ unpacks common assumptions about Gen Z—often labelled as anxious, distracted, less resilient, or disengaged from faith. But is there more to the story? This conversation reveals a more complex picture of a generation searching for authenticity, meaning, and belonging, and explores how the Church can better understand and walk alongside them. Faith+ — where real faith meets real life.
