Why Gen Z Is Turning To Catholicism | David Schrock

About this episode

The episode discusses why Gen Z men are gravitating towards traditional forms of Christianity like Catholicism, contrasting their experiences with those of young women.

In today’s episode we talk about why Gen Z men are abandoning soft, emotional, non-denominational church culture and flooding into more traditional, structured, masculine expressions of Christianity like Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Seth Gruber is joined by David Schrock, pastor of Oakland Bible Church, professor of theology at Indianapolis Theological Seminary, and editor-in-chief of Christ Overall, to unpack what this shift reveals about young men, young women, marriage, masculinity, feminism, and the future of the church. While Zoomer men are searching for order, authority, reverence, and tradition, many young women are chasing the “have it all” boss babe fantasy through their 20s and delaying marriage until their mid-30s. Is this just a cultural trend, or is it a sign that modern evangelicalism failed an entire generation?
