Sacred Listening: Young people aren’t rejecting faith!

Young people aren’t rejecting faith—they’re wary of institutions that don’t listen. Research shows the church must shift from speaking at to engaging with Gen Z and Alpha. The way forward? Listen first. Build trust through curiosity, not answers. Create space for questions, not just sermons. The future of faith depends on earning the right to be heard—not demanding it.
