Description

Something remarkable is happening among young people. Church attendance for Gen Z has quadrupled. Bible sales are soaring. Spiritual hunger is everywhere, but it's not exclusively Christian.

In this essential conversation, Tim Alford (National Director of Limitless) joins Mark Pugh to unpack:

  • Why Gen Z are spiritually open in unprecedented ways
  • The collapse of New Atheism and the mental health crisis driving this moment
  • Honest talk about social media addiction - for leaders and young people
  • Practical digital boundaries that actually work
  • Why churches need spiritual experience, not just information
  • How to make room for God's presence in our gatherings
  • The power of intergenerational spiritual family


"You can't develop deep spirituality in eight-second reels," Tim warns. "If we have a generation who continues to be digitally addicted and wildly overstimulated, those things are falling on shallow soil."

This is a moment the church cannot afford to miss, but we need to do things differently.
