What is Gen Z really asking about God? In this episode of “FrontStage BackStage,” Jason Daye sits down with Tanita Maddox, national director of generational impact for Young Life and author of “What Gen Z Really Wants to Know About God.”

Together, they dive into the surprising questions and spiritual longings shaping Gen Z today. They highlight how the Church can respond with honesty, humility, and hope. This is a practical and encouraging conversation for pastors, ministry leaders, and parents who want to better understand and engage the next generation with the gospel.

We explore:

  • What the latest research reveals about Gen Z’s spiritual curiosity
  • Why the Church and Gen Z are missing each other
  • How the Church can communicate the gospel in ways that truly connect with Gen Z 
  • Practical ideas for pastors, parents, and leaders to disciple and empower young people
  • Encouragement for ministry leaders navigating generational change

If you want to reach Gen Z with the gospel, and walk with them as they ask real questions about faith, this episode will give you both clarity and hope.
