Listen in: What Are College Students Longing For?
In the next episode of our series, What Are You Longing For?, Kyle Richter and Emilee McEnery, leaders of The Crossing college ministry, Veritas, are introducing Gen Z to a relationship with Jesus and helping them find their purpose in the world.
Gen Z is known as the loneliest and least religious generation of all time. Plagued by anxiety and isolation, college students are facing unique pressures and are looking for the pieces to the puzzle of life. At the same time, their curiosity and openness is evidence that God is doing something incredible in the lives of college students around the world.
Do you remember your college years as the best years of your life? It turns out that 73% of college students are lonely some or all of the time.
The college years are spent establishing who you are and who you want to be. Yet college students face the pressure to be great in all areas of their lives and make a difference in the world. The only way they can know themselves better is in the context of meaningful relationships - that’s why college ministry leaders are working to create a culture of connection and belonging.
Whether you’re in college, work with, or are parenting a college student, this conversation with Austin, Kyle, and Emilee will open your eyes as to why Gen Z is a generation worth investing in.
The takeaway of this episode? “Don’t sleep on Gen Z!”
