Podcast
In this live episode from the 2024 Child Discipleship Forum, Mark Sayers unpacks the rising anxiety epidemic among today’s youth, tracing its cultural roots and the amplifying role of technology. He discusses the shift from community to individualism, the confusion of the “gray zones” between past and future, and the transformative power of wilderness experiences in spiritual growth. Mark challenges parents to trust their children to Jesus, pass down faith and knowledge, and engage in prayer as a way to nurture intimacy with God. Despite the challenges, Mark offers a hopeful perspective on the spiritual potential of the next generation and their ability to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
