There was a generation that tried life without God.
They went out searching for purpose, for freedom, for identity on their own terms. And for a while, it felt promising. But then, a lot of them were left realizing… is this working?
We’re more anxious, more empty, more hungry than ever. The prodigal son energy went off, tried a different life, and it fell apart. But when he finally came back, he found a Father who ran to him. No lectures. No shame. Just love. Just welcome.
David Butler walks us through what’s happening right now. Gen Z is waking up to the truth: God is better than we thought. Kinder. Stronger. More faithful. And it makes us ask: Why did I run from You in the first place?
The famine didn’t break us. It brought us back.
