There's even more faith-filled good news to start the new year. According to a new survey, God is making a comeback with young people. Specifically, with Gen Z.
"It's definitely congruent with what I'm seeing around the state and country" said former congressional candidate Christian Collins, the founder and president of the Texas Youth Summit, "Young people really want to make a difference, they want their lives to mean something."
According to the survey, 62% of those ages 18-24, consider themselves 'very' spiritual.
"It's just real encouraging for me to see that hunger being filled by God in so many young people" Collins told KTRH, "No better way for that to happen than to find God."
It's something that has been on the rise since the pandemic, and a nice reminder that there is still hope for the future.
"Gen Z has grown up in a world that feels darker, and they feel more separated" noted Collins, "And they wonder is there any hope? They've found that in faith, as we know it in Jesus Christ, and God, and I think that's a beautiful thing."
Amen to that. The study also found that teens and those in their early 20's are half as likely to call themselves atheists compared to their parents.
