[@Aaron.M.Carter]

Thanks for doing this important work. Enlightening and encouraging.

[@jpobrien1973]

Thank you for making this video! I am a full time youth pastor and this is very much my passion: reaching teens with the Gospel and helping them grow in their faith!

[@TyroneLT]

I just want to applaud you on the way you answered the commentor on IG. Not shoving an established POV but instead being curious which lead to some valuable info for this video. It's a textbook example of how to navigate the comment section respectfully.

[@TheologyMade]

Super helpful, well done 👏🏼

GenZ is the loneliest generation, raised with an iPhone in hand. They crave face to face meeting even if they don’t know it since they’ve been starved of it for so long. That said, no matter the generation, they all need the good news of Jesus. Good stuff, Brady.

Quoting medical journals at minute 4 is a bit gaslighting it cant all be blamed on social media. Their is way more at play when it comes to anxiety in the youth. Inadequate nutrition is a large and often ignored contributing factor in that can lead to someone having lower energy and neurotransmitter dysregulation, even the state of our homes if not well maintained can put children at risk to air quality issues.

What is a slack channel and how can a church use it

[@prochurchtools]

Slack is a communication platform. We use it for all of our intercompany comms. You could do the same for a ministry.

[@joedas9882]

Say, how does Reddit fit into this, in your opinion?

[@BradleysBookTalks]

I was born in 1998 and I refuse to call myself a Gen Z. I have nothing in common with them.
