About 50 percent of Gen Z in North America identify as "nones," meaning they don’t have any religious affiliation. The big question is: why? Why have so many left the church? And for those who haven’t, why have they stayed? 

This episode features a roundtable discussion with Major April McNeilly, who has been researching Gen Z and Jesus for her master’s degree; and her daughter Rebekah McNeilly, a Gen Z Salvationist who works in the corps mission department at territorial headquarters and hosts The Story We Tell Ourselves podcast.

In this candid and thought-provoking conversation, we get into the trends and data, the personal lived experiences of Gen Zs, and the heart of the gospel message that is still transforming young people today.
