With a one-minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.

A new Barna study of 24,000 teens worldwide, suggests that young people, both Christian and non-Christian, like Jesus.

According to Barna, the global impression of Jesus is that he's trustworthy, generous, wise, peaceful, and the list goes on and on.

In the study, 46% believe that Jesus offers hope,

43% that he cares about people.

Now, some of the most interesting numbers came from the Bible engaged teens,

those who read their Bible many times a week and believe it's the Word of God.

Of those teens, 91% were motivated to continue learning about Jesus Christ

for the rest of their lives.

84% thought that the Bible taught them about meaning and purpose. In other words, we often

treat the Bible as a liability when talking with young people, but as youth struggle with an

unprecedented loss of meaning and satisfaction, God's word could be the best way to draw

them closer to the one they already

seem pretty keen to want to know. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
