Unfortunately I think late night as it stands needs to go, which is sad. Not because Kimmel was good, I certainly wasn’t a fan of him, but because the concept is something that used to unite Americans. There are becoming fewer and fewer things we can all gravitate to and share as Americans and for our culture. Things we can share a laugh over or talk about the next day at the office as friends, coworkers, and neighbors. The fewer institutions we have like that, the more the cultural fabric rips apart.
Networks killed the golden goose of Late Night in 2014 when they fired Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson to double down on propaganda in advance of the 2016 election

Amen, brother. Everyone talks about the problems with Gen Z, their inability to form relationships, not getting married, this and that. But I can tell you that the young people, ages 21-30 at our church are indeed having great relationships, getting married, and having children

Yep, I see this as well.
Our men's groups / Bible studies are packed and have been for a while now. Something is stirring. I visited an Orthodox church for a cultural celebration last week and the deacon doing the church tour told us during the Q&A that they are growing. Running out of space with all the new converts. He said many of them are young people disillusioned by the madness of the world. Looking for answers and tradition. Something grounding.
The world around us has no grounding. The lines for what is right and wrong is always shifting. And what is it moored to? Culture. Which is always changing. There's no anchor. I sense good things have been happening for some time and these events (I don't think they are over) are the work of the enemy (spiritual) to hinder what God is doing in lives.
I'm bullish. These people are not our enemies. Evil is all around us but it is not flesh and blood.

It was quite encouraging to see how full our church was this past Sunday. I think you’re spot on when you say people are searching for something to anchor into and that is grounding. I think we have a great opportunity to engage with these newcomers and get them plugged into the church as a whole, but more specifically small groups within the church. Small groups are where those deeper relationships are formed and we can reach our neighbors in a more impactful way. There’s a lot of hope.

I pray that more and more people find their way back to God, the ultimate source of truth and our only hope for this life and for eternity.
