Summary

Today we're joined by Dr. George Barna, author and one of the country's leading faith and culture researchers, on the state of the Millennial generation and the church. We answer the big question: How do we help Millennials thrive when they have such unique challenges? Millennials are the largest generation ever, and some startling stats reveal that many don't even believe there is absolute value to life or moral truths. We go over the biggest pain issues that Millennials deal with and how to address them and explain why maximum happiness can never be the goal of life, as many Millennials are led to believe. We also discuss the scary fact that only slightly more than one-third of pastors actually hold a biblical worldview and what we can do to turn this around. You can get Dr. Barna's new book, "Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child's Heart, Mind and Soul," here: http://bit.ly/3YW9L5B --- Timecodes: (01:24) Millennial belief trends (10:11) Shift of generations in worldview / being a “good person” (13:13) Addressing generation-specific pain issues (19:50) Committed relationships & finding purpose (25:16) Questioning ourselves (28:50) Biblical worldview / entertainment industry (34:00) Stats on pastors' biblical worldviews --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

1:47.7	millennials and how we help millennials thrive. Very few people seem to be asking that question
1:54.4	because definitely for the past 10 years, we've only been hearing about how awful millennials are.
