About this audiobook
In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, Faithful Futures offers church leaders a lifeline: practical, research-based tools to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful conversations about faith. This book provides actionable strategies that build trust and foster belonging in today's rapidly changing cultural landscape.
Traditional approaches to youth ministry are often outdated and ineffective for younger generations, says Josh Packard. Instead, he advocates an approach that emphasizes relational authority, cultivates belonging, and understands faith as an ongoing conversation. Drawing on fresh data, innovative practices, and more than twenty years of experience as a sociologist, Packard offers a comprehensive guide for religious leaders to understand and engage younger generations authentically.
Informed yet accessible, this book translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities. It features exercises, tools, and end-of-chapter discussion questions.
