Vocal Point-Garrett Bryant

Topic: Faith Advances Among Youth.

Christian communicator Adam McManus writes: Between secularism and digital media overload, Gen Z is the “most anxious generation” in America.

Among 14 to 29-year-olds:

• 61% say loneliness affects their mental health.
• 36% report anxiety and 29% say they’re depressed.
• Over 50% say their life lacks purpose.

Loneliness is driven by more online interaction, less face-to-face connection, and weaker community structures like church.

Anxiety and depression is driven by constant comparison on social media, academic/career pressure, and uncertainty about the future.

And lack of purpose is driven by career uncertainty, financial stress, and global instability. But, thankfully, the 14 to 29-year-olds are turning to Christian faith as an antidote.” Garrett Bryant with Prayer at the Heart joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss Gen Z and Anxiety. Prayer at the Heart is dedicated to praying for Americans to turn back to God. www.prayerattheheart.org
