Gen Z- The Anxious Generation
Gen Z is rewriting the rules on dating, love, and marriage — and the Church can’t afford to ignore it. They’re the most connected generation in history, yet also the most anxious. In this powerful conversation with God Love Co., we unpack how social media and technology have reshaped how Gen Z sees commitment, intimacy, and faith. Constant comparison, instant validation, and digital “situationships” have created a culture craving authenticity but terrified of vulnerability. We dive deep int...

When the Church Goes Silent: Reclaiming God’s Design for Marriage
In this powerful episode, we confront a growing issue in today’s culture: the Church’s silence on the biblical view of marriage. As culture loudly redefines love, gender, and covenant, far too many churches have taken a passive stance, leaving couples without truth, guidance, or support. We explore what happens when the Church steps back instead of stepping in—and why elevating marriage should be a central mission, not a side conversation. Join us as we challenge ministry leaders, couples, an...
