Gen Z and the Anxious Awakening | Episode 67

Is Gen Z really walking away from faith or could something deeper be happening under the surface?

In this episode, Pastors Micah and Shireen talk about the surprising signs of spiritual hunger they’re seeing in young adults today. For a while now, it’s felt like church was fading and culture was shifting fast, especially as we’ve watched places like the UK and Europe become more and more secular. But now, something’s changing.

They unpack how a generation that’s grown up with anxiety, pressure, and a constant push for achievement is starting to ask bigger questions about meaning, peace, and where God fits into it all. Many are realizing that success and self-help aren’t enough. And in that discontent, God might be waking people up. You’ll hear honest thoughts on how the Church can show up differently in this moment, what we can learn from Europe’s spiritual journey, and why revival might not look how we expected but could be just as powerful.

As you listen to this episode, reflect on the following questions:

Are we making space for Gen Z to explore faith honestly? What would it look like to meet them in their questions, not just their behavior? And how can we be part of what God’s already doing quietly but powerfully in this generation?
