Listen "Episode 206: SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE CHURCH"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Pod Have Mercy, we dive into some fascinating cultural and spiritual trends shaping younger generations. From the viral “Jesus Glow Up” trend on TikTok to new research from Barna showing Gen Z as the most churchgoing generation today, the conversation explores how faith, community, and authenticity intersect in a digital world.We reflect on how social media often distorts genuine expressions of faith, the challenges of living in a “post-truth” era, and why younger generations are seeking deeper connection, transcendence, and real community beyond screens. Along the way, they share generational perspectives from Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z on church, culture, and the future of spiritual life.If you have ever wondered where the next generation is finding faith or how the church can respond with authenticity and hope, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
