Is Gen Z in Revival or Retreat?
Podcast: The Esau McCaulley PodcastPublished On: Thu Jul 31 2025
Description: On a recent Holy Post episode, Ryan Burge claimed the data shows that Gen Z is not experiencing a revival, but Carey Nieuwhof says otherwise. Esau and Sharon Hodde Miller compare the competing narratives and reflects on what true revival looks like and why we care so much whether a revival is happening. Then, a recent New York Times piece questions the so-called "boy crisis," Are boys really falling behind or have girls just always done better in school? Plus: what food or coffee shop would make you change your last name? Why Uber's new feature for women riders is long overdue. And Esau's final question: is being mad about Halloween in July grumpy or principled? 0:00 - Theme Song 2:35 - Naming Yourself After a Brand? 7:55 - Boyhood Crisis Overblown? 19:10 - Gen Z Revival or Retreat? 27:20 - Piety vs Churchgoing Stats 35:35 - Uber Gender Policy 42:20 - Grumpy or Principled 46:15 - End Credits God's Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible: The Story of God's Big Diverse Family by Esau McCaulley: https://a.co/d/iQjqMeB
