Garrett Bryant is talking about secularism and digital media overload, Gen Z is the "most anxious generation" in America. Among 14 to 29-year-olds: · 61% say loneliness affects their mental health. · 36% report anxiety and 29% say they're depressed. · Over 50% say their life lacks purpose.

Loneliness is driven by more online interaction, less face-to-face connection, and weaker community structures like church.

Anxiety and depression is driven by constant comparison on social media, academic/career pressure, and uncertainty about the future.

And lack of purpose is driven by career uncertainty, financial stress, and global instability.
