Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy—and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood
Jean Twenge
In 'iGen,' Jean Twenge analyzes the cultural changes affecting today's teens and young adults, born after 1995, who are the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of smartphones. The book draws from nationally representative surveys and in-depth interviews to document how technology has influenced their socialization, mental health, attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. Twenge argues that this generation is distinct due to their extensive use of technology, which has led to increased levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, as well as changes in their developmental pace and social interactions. The book is divided into chapters that explore various themes, including the impact of internet use, changes in social behaviors, mental health crises, and shifts in religious and political attitudes.
On this Good Friday special, Megyn Kelly is joined by Bishop Robert Barron of "Word on Fire Catholic Ministries" to discuss the decline of people going to church, young people disaffiliating from religion altogether, how to recruit disaffected Catholics, the commercialization of Easter and Christmas, how "woke" has become a new religion, he "Christ is King" debate happening on social media, the media nonsense about "Christian Nationalism" led by the absence of religion, debauchery in our culture today, how he helped actor Shia LaBeouf reclaim his faith and get confirmed in the Catholic faith, the value of silence in connecting with God, his love of Bob Dylan, stories of preaching in 2024, why he decided to become a priest, and more. Plus, Megyn gets personal and opens up about going through the annulment process, why it's leading to her having a "crisis of faith," the role of marriage in Christianity and Catholicism, and her recent trip to an Episcopalian church.
