Dr. Joshua Packard, Executive Director of Springtide Research Institute, is our guest. We begin with a little discussion of The Dones, those done with church but not their faith. Then we turn our attention to discussion of Generation Z and their spiritual quest. How is it different from previous generations? What cultural and social forces are at work? What is the "unbundled spirituality" they pursue? How can youth ministers, pastors, and churches be better prepared to understand and relate to Generation Z?
