“We wanted to know more about GenZ,” says Kim Nollan, Dir. of Research and Study at Young Life. The ministry asked people ages 13-24yrs to describe themselves. “The majority of the respondents wrote kind,” Nollan confirms, adding “kindness translates into concern for their neighbor.” Young people put heavy emphasis on relationship. “We just wanna have dinner together and get to know older generations -- and have them get to know us.” K-LOVE's Billie Wright reports.

The Soup Ladies are a faithful group of volunteers trained and certified on incident command. “I just started telling fire departments and police departments that if they were stuck on a scene they could call,” says founder ‘Mama’ Ginger Passarelli.

“God is still God,” declares Pastor Daryl Black of Grace Family Church in Tampa, Florida. Two weeks after 30-thousand people flooded their Easter service at Buc’s stadium, they counted at least 947 men, women and children who walked into the ocean at Fort De Soto Beach to be baptized. "I baptized so many people that my back was hurtin' when I was done," he laughs. Passersby also responded to the message of salvation in Jesus. “This is crazy,” he says, people in the water, “they were floating by, going ‘what’s happening here? Can we get baptized too?’” Monika Kelly reports. [Educational Media Foundation - All Rights Reserved]
You’ve seen college students shout and make demands -- but that’s NOT the whole Gen Z story. “I would guess there were a 1,000 students who came forward for salvation,” says ministry founder Tonya Prewett speaking of just one of many recent UniteUS college rallies. Gen Zrs at Auburn University, UGA and Florida State made just one demand -- to be baptized. "A student messaged one of the pastors and said ‘please can I get baptized tonight, I don’t want to wait.’" Prewett led mass baptisms at Auburn University, UGA and Florida State, with plans to visit additional colleges and universities later this year.

After only a few years, Great American Media has made a noticeable splash. Their Great American Family Channel is one of the fastest growing TV networks.
And there’s a good reason.
They focus on “quality star appeal” and giving “viewers an alternative and a place to go,” that offers relief from shows on other networks that “are uncomfortable and very difficult to watch,” explains CEO Bill Abbott.
Veterans and first responders face scenes and situations most of us could not even imagine.
