They’re spiritual but not religious. They’re curious and have big questions. And they’re turning online for spiritual guidance. But given that they often have a “pick and mix” approach to faith, how can we help Gen Zs discover Jesus, the one true God?
In this episode of Gen Z Insights, Peter Dray, author of the IFES report Gen Z Insights for Global Student Ministry, shares his findings on Gen Z’s spiritual openness around the world.
Afterwards, series host Annette Arulrajah, Associate General Secretary of IFES, is joined by guests from IFES student movements and beyond to share their perspectives.
Guests include:
Naomi Chandrasakaran (Sri Lanka), recent graduate and volunteer with her IFES movement
Ms. Robin Shugart (Canada), Campus Director for Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario with InterVarsity, the IFES movement in Canada
Hit play to hear what’s happening with Gen Z and faith around the world, and to explore how we can respond to the opportunities and challenges of this generation’s spiritual hunger.
