Join me as I sit down with Sam McCullough from OneHope.com to explore the world of Gen Alpha—kids who’ve never known a life without screens. We dive into the real sources of influence shaping their decisions, from social media feeds and AI to mental health pressures, and discuss how parents and leaders can guide them toward grounded faith.

In this episode, we cover:

• Who Gen Alpha is and what it means to be a digital native
• How AI, tech habits, and screen time shape trust and perspective
• Mental health challenges tied to social comparison
• The impact of exposure to violent or desensitizing content
• The vital role of parents as primary influencers and disciple makers
• Building biblical literacy and fostering honest conversations
• Moving kids from spoon-fed answers to critical thinking
• Engaging hot topics with clarity, warmth, and relevance
• Practical ways to connect across generations
• Cultivating hope in a mission-minded, bridge-building generation
