Great point. I think that’s why I’m more bullish on local communities and local churches. Life is only better when shared.
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.

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.

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.
