About this episode

This episode explores the surprising trend of young men returning to church while young women are increasingly disaffiliating, examining the underlying factors and responses.

This episode unpacks new Gen Z research showing a surprising gender flip: young men are reengaging with church and biblical faith while young women, especially ages 18–24, are increasingly disaffiliating, and it explores biblical foundations and cultural factors behind the shift along with practical discipleship responses for churches and parents.
