Many young Brits are buying binoculars in hopes of encountering one of nature's most physically and audibly beautiful creatures - birds. You might think of birdwatching as an old-fashioned pastime most often enjoyed by the generations before you, but surveys conducted by the RSPB show a 47% increase in participation overall, with an even higher 1,088% surge by Gen Zers. So why do so many young people want to flock to the park to watch birds?许多英国年轻人购买双筒望远镜,希望能邂逅自然界中最美丽、最美丽的生物之一——鸟类。 您可能认为观鸟是您的前几代人最常享受的一种老式消遣,但 RSPB 进行的调查显示,观鸟总体参与度增加了 47%,其中 Z 世代的参与度增幅甚至更高,高达 1,088%。 那么为什么这么多年轻人愿意涌入公园观鸟呢?A group leader at RSPB Bristol highlighted how many students have joined his outings. He mentioned that some who join have 'never been out in their local nature spaces' and 'want to explore'. He added that the diversity of species you can find is impressive 'considering it's so urban' around the city. There is also the rise of a desire to disconnect from technology and go outside, or as Gen Z would call it touch grass, to help with mental health. Research from the University of Surrey has looked at how bird sounds restore attention and even alleviate stress.布里斯托尔皇家鸟类保护协会的一位小组负责人强调了有多少学生参加了他的郊游活动。 他提到,一些加入的人“从未去过当地的自然空间”并且“想要探索”。 他补充说,“考虑到城市周围是如此城市化”,你可以发现的物种多样性令人印象深刻。 人们越来越渴望摆脱科技的束缚,到户外去,或者正如 Z 世代所说的“接触草地”,以帮助心理健康。 萨里大学的研究探讨了鸟叫声如何恢复注意力,甚至缓解压力。Ironically, when interviewed by BBC Bristol, individuals mentioned how phones and social media have actually helped encourage the hype of this hobby. There are now a variety of apps in which you can record a birdsong and have it instantly identified. People also use social media to share knowledge and location for birds. A phenomenon known as 'bioblitzing', a combination of bio and blitzing, has emerged. This is when a walker documents as many birds and other species of animals as they can within a limited amount of time. It has been said to create a safe space in which birdwatchers can get into friendly competitions over who can spot the most! Furthermore, a buzz around the birdwatching hashtag has cultivated humour around turning 30 and entering your 'birdwatching era'.具有讽刺意味的是,在接受 BBC 布里斯托尔采访时,人们提到手机和社交媒体实际上有助于鼓励这种爱好的炒作。 现在有多种应用程序可以让您录制鸟鸣声并立即识别。 人们还使用社交媒体分享鸟类的知识和位置。 一种被称为“生物闪电战”的现象已经出现,它是生物和闪电战的结合。 这是指步行者在有限的时间内记录尽可能多的鸟类和其他动物种类。 据说,它创造了一个安全的空间,观鸟者可以在其中进行友好的竞赛,看看谁能发现最多! 此外,围绕观鸟主题标签的热潮在 30 岁左右进入“观鸟时代”培养了幽默感。Whether it's the chance to reconnect with nature, improve mental wellbeing, or join a growing online community, birdwatching is no longer seen as a hobby reserved for older generations. Young people are embracing it in record numbers, using both technology and the outdoors to discover the wildlife on their doorstep. From identifying birdsongs with apps to competing in bioblitzing challenges, a modern twist has transformed the pastime into something fresh and accessible. It seems that for Gen Z and young millennials alike, birdwatching has become a hoot.无论是重新接触大自然、改善心理健康还是加入不断发展的在线社区的机会,观鸟不再被视为老一辈人的爱好。 越来越多的年轻人热衷于利用科技和户外活动来探索家门口的野生动物。 从使用应用程序识别鸟鸣声到参加生物闪电战挑战,现代的转变已将这种消遣变成了新鲜且易于理解的东西。 对于 Z 世代和年轻的千禧一代来说,观鸟似乎已经成为一种热门话题。
What if I told you there's hard data proving the Bible is changing lives right now — not someday, not in theory, but measurably, scientifically, today? Dr. John Plake from the American Bible Society joins me to unpack the research behind Bible engagement and mental health. Honestly, it left me smiling.Dr. Plake leads the State of the Bible study—the longest-running research on how Americans engage with Scripture—and what he's found is genuinely hopeful. People who are deeply engaged with the Bible show lower anxiety, lower traumatic stress, and higher hope than those who aren't. Harvard's Human Flourishing Study confirms it. Gen Zers, who statistically struggle the most with anxiety and depression, look completely different when they're Scripture engaged — like they've unlocked something their peers haven't found yet.We also dig into the real barrier holding people back: it's not desire, it's guidance. Millions of people want to read the Bible but don't know where to start, what translation to pick, or how to make sense of it. Dr. Plake breaks down practical first steps—from finding the right translation to using audio and video to build a consistent habit—so we can turn curiosity into a life-giving relationship with Scripture. If you've ever picked up a Bible and felt lost, this episode is your on-ramp.JOHN'S LINKS:State of the Bible → https://sotb.americanbible.orgAmerican Bible Society → https://www.americanbible.org YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@AmericanBibleSociety SCRIPTURES SHARED:Isaiah 55:10-11 NIVJohn 10:10 NIVHebrews 4:12 NIVCHAPTERS:00:00 — Trailer01:03 — The Data Behind a Life-Changing Book05:02 — Why Accessibility Matters More Than "The Right" Translation11:00 — You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone12:28 — Inside America's Curiosity Wave23:24 — What the Fastest-Growing Group Can Teach Us All40:49 — The Well-Being Breakthrough: Hope, Resilience, and Science47:41 — Rebuilding Real Community, One Honest Step at a Time
Why Feeling Good About Yourself Matters After Betrayal with Jasmin El Kordi of Bluelene After betrayal, it can feel like every thought, every conversation, and every part of your life gets hijacked by infidelity. You are trying to understand what happened, protect yourself legally and financially, regulate your nervous system, and figure out what comes next. But what if part of healing is also allowing yourself moments of normalcy, confidence, curiosity, and even fun? In this episode, Lora Cheadle talks about the importance of titrating betrayal recovery so your entire life does not become consumed by pain, processing, and problem-solving. She shares why simple experiences such as listening to music, dancing, learning something new, taking care of your skin, or feeling good in your body can help interrupt obsessive loops and support nervous system regulation. Lora is joined by Jasmin El Kordi of Bluelene Advanced Skincare for a conversation about stress, aging, confidence, skincare, and the science behind topical methylene blue. Together, they explore how stress can affect the skin, why looking in the mirror after betrayal can feel so painful, and how caring for yourself on the outside can sometimes help you reconnect with yourself on the inside. This is not about vanity. It is about remembering that you are still alive, still worthy, still allowed to feel beautiful, and still allowed to enjoy your life while you heal. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal recovery has to be titrated. Healing matters, but not every moment of your life has to revolve around infidelity, deep processing, or hard conversations. Feeling good about yourself supports regulation. Confidence, beauty, laughter, music, movement, and small acts of self-care can help your nervous system exhale. Your body knows when something feels aligned. Whether you are making decisions about your relationship, your work, your healing, or your next chapter, your body often registers truth before your mind can explain it.

It continuously stimulates skin cells to produce collagen and elastin while extending the healthy lifespan of the cells themselves. The Benefits: Unlike traditional anti-aging ingredients like retinol—which can encourage cell death—Methylene Blue actively repairs DNA damage, reduces oxidative stress, and significantly boosts skin hydration and firmness. Product Line: Bluelene offers a wide range of products tailored to all ages, from Gen-Zers preventing damage to older demographics focusing on deep anti-aging.

Lots of people are converting to Christianity and, across the country, church attendance is increasing. While the numbers vary, one survey shows the number of people attending church at least once a month is up from eight per cent in 2018 to 12 per cent in 2024. Perhaps most notably, the survey shows a quadrupling of attendance among Gen Zers, aged 18 to 24, from four per cent to 16 per cent. The story of modern society has often been told as a rise of secularism and atheism, but after the peak of new atheism in the early 2010s, trends are now reversing. From sold-out events on faith with musician Nick Cave and historian Tom Holland to a swath of new books on the place of god in society, there is public appetite for grappling with religion. Some argue that this is a ‘quiet revival' driven mainly by changing perceptions of religion and a collective search for meaning in modern societies that are increasingly individualistic and atomised. Others point to public figures like Jordan Peterson and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, for whom Christianity is part of a larger project to save Western civilisation. Others still argue that there is something distinct and more therapeutic about modern forms of Christian worship – more focused on introspection and personal development than community and morality. Some believers are uneasy about these more pragmatic justifications for faith. What is the driving force of the resurgence of Christianity? Is this emerging Christianity different from its traditional forms? Is the Christian revival political, or are people searching for meaning? Are we seeing a rise of true faith, or merely cultural Christianity? Is there a difference?

For unaired episodes, extended interviews, and a load of additional perks, join our Patreon!Across college campuses, social media platforms, and young adult communities, many are claiming that there are growing signs of renewed interest in faith among Gen Z. But is this a genuine spiritual revival, a reaction to cultural uncertainty, or something more complex?In this episode, we explore the data behind the headlines, the experiences driving young people toward Christianity, and the questions many Gen Zers are asking about meaning, purpose, identity, and belonging. We'll examine what's fueling this trend and consider what it could mean for the future of faith in America.Is Christianity making a comeback with the next generation—or are the details something far more nuanced and, perhaps, alarming?

In the technocratic dystopia of modernity, things are undeniably grim, and they are getting worse at an accelerating rate.This is not merely an observation for the hopelessly naive normie who still believes the evening news; it is a reality that even the most savvy lifehacker must confront daily. We find ourselves trapped in a pincer movement of economic instability and biological decline. If you are a Millennial or a member of Gen Z (I shall dub thee: Gen Zer), looking at the sordid state of affairs and deliberating between the career options of selling your body on OnlyFans, becoming some specie of online scammer/grifter, or signing up to die in some utterly pointless foreign war, I have a contrarian option for you...For every mentioned here, read: A personal pragmatic solution to the "everything crisis"
Of all the trends taking place right now in American politics, the juvenile arrogance of today's Millennials and Gen Zers must rank near the top of anyone's list of concerns. Just look at any social media thread on essentially any topic and the proof reveals itself in spades...It doesn't matter what the topic is, they know more. Suggest that socialism has never worked and never will and their response is, “Okay boomer.” And just pick any topic.
Our complex and rapidly changing world has given many Gen-Zers unique questions about life and God. Church methodologies that worked for past generations often miss their mark with this one.

This week, we've been looking at the rise of "generational change candidates" in Democratic primaries.

Think passing the torch to Millennials or Gen Zers who are more focused on climate and health care for all. Well, Prop 50, the ballot measure voters passed in November. has opened up an opportunity for one of those change candidates to emerge in the race for Congressional District 3, which stretches from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe.

If you're aged between 30 and 40, you're part of Generation Y, also known as the ‘millennials' You may have already said to yourself that the next generation, Gen Z, look much older than their age. Millennials grew up amid the rise of the wellness industry and numerous public health campaigns that promoted healthy living, think about the messaging around eating five fruits and vegetables a day, staying physically active, and avoiding smoking. Not to mention, there was also a strong push for sun protection awareness. Consequently, Millennials have largely embraced skincare routines and self-care habits that keep them looking youthful. But how is that possible? Are many Gen Zers really getting these procedures? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Each generation has a different approach to money, saving, retirement, and what it means to be financially free and secure. So strategies for starting on that journey can vary quite a bit, and Gen Z is no exception. That's why on this episode of the podcast I talked with Jack Campbell, an investor and venture capitalist who helps Gen Zers to discuss how they can map out and navigate their path to financial freedom. In this episode you will learn: How a person's generation defines their financial goals and saving strategies What that definition is for Gen Z Why old money rules don't work for Gen Z What rules do work The importance of investing in defense, energy, and industrial entities.

Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare continues its shift away from the traditional top-down model of interviewing CEOs, policymakers and medical leaders to focus this week on something new, different and fascinating: listening to the generation that is inheriting this American healthcare system. In this episode, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr speak with Grace Lynn Keller, VP at Executive Podcast Solutions, former Miss America contestant and the show's first-ever Gen Z guest. Grace brings a rare vantage point: Professionally, she is immersed in conversations with healthcare executives. Personally, she is part of the generation that consumes health information through social media, wearables and AI tools. For healthcare professionals, the conversation offers an important lens on how Gen Z gathers health information, how they decide when to seek care and what they expect from clinicians, insurers and government leaders. One insight stood out immediately. When asked where she would turn first with a non-emergency symptom, Grace answered without hesitation: ChatGPT. Her answer signals how much the healthcare landscape is changing. While Gen Z may turn to generative AI for initial medical advice, that is only one piece of a broader shift. In this conversation, Grace outlines how her generation is redefining health, prevention and trust. Key insights include: Verification Over Blind Trust. Gen Z does not simply accept what it reads online. Grace describes a culture of cross-referencing, double-checking and comparing sources across platforms before acting. Prevention As Identity. Her generation emphasizes whole foods, ingredient awareness and minimizing processed products. Health is considered a long-term lifestyle investment rather than reactive medical intervention. Wearables As Standard Equipment. Smart watches and rings are commonplace. Continuous data on sleep, movement, heart rate and hormonal cycles shape daily decisions and reinforce prevention. Convenience And Cost Sensitivity. Time away from work, co-pays and scheduling delays influence care decisions. If reliable AI-based treatment were available for routine conditions, many Gen Zers would use it immediately. Mental Health As Mainstream. Therapy is normalized. Work-life balance is considered protective, not indulgent. “Mental health days” may frustrate older generations but are viewed as necessary boundaries by younger workers. Skepticism Of Bureaucracy. Insurance complexity is a major frustration. Deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and opaque pricing create confusion for first-time independent users. Demand For Transparency. Grace compares healthcare to e-commerce: if nearly every other industry offers clear pricing and frictionless purchasing, why not medicine? Alcohol And Cultural Moderation. Among her peers, alcohol consumption is more situational and less habitual. Health-conscious decision-making extends beyond diet and exercise. Education Gaps. Public school health education was limited largely to sex ed and anti-drug messaging. She sees schools as the only scalable venue to improve health literacy nationwide. There's so much more to this episode. Tune in to find out what the next generation of patients expects from doctors, nurses and healthcare leaders.

Maddy is back to talk about the film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies from 2022, a cool, thriller-horror film that plays on the generational zeitgeist of Gen Z. We talk about how the film reflects cultural fears, cultural fetishes, and unspeakable taboos, and how it keeps us all engaged by appealing to our preexisting cultural stereotypes, our natural reaction to protect certain groups of people while fearing others, and a generational gap that has many Gen Zers stuck on their phones living a life that's fake, digital, and maybe where we are all headed in the future.

It's Wednesday, February 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians are leaving volatile Middle East The number of Christians in the Middle East is falling as religious freedom deteriorates in the region. Karmella Borashan of the Assyrian International Council addressed the International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C. last week. She warned, “Christianity is fading from the Middle East and [Christians] are placed in the mercy of the perpetrators. Once we had 1.5 million Christians; now we have only less than 300,000 left.” Assyrian Christians, in particular, face persecution from Muslim Jihadists in Syria and Iraq. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” U.S. and Hungary partner to advance religious freedom Speaking of the Middle East, the United States and Hungary signed an agreement last week to advance religious freedom in the region. The U.S. Department of State noted, “Christians are the most persecuted religious group worldwide, yet atrocities and attacks against them too often go unaddressed. Such persecution presents a threat to American security and undermines the values upon which our nation was built.” Hungary has already been supporting suffering believers for years through its office of Aid for Persecuted Christians. The new agreement is focused on aiding the church in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. More Gen Zers attending church in New Zealand Baptist churches in New Zealand are seeing increased interest from young people. Gen Z has reportedly been leading a rise in church attendance in the West, known as the “quiet revival.” The 2025 Annual Report for the Baptist Churches of New Zealand noted similar findings for its young people. Youth attendance in these churches increased 24% between 2022 and 2024. And people under the age of 25 accounted for nearly 60% of baptisms reported. Trump tosses Obama's global warming policy In the United States, the Trump administration is expected to repeal an Obama-era climate change policy this week. The policy is known as the Endangerment Finding. It claimed that greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are a danger to public health. The finding has been the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency plans to rescind the rule, making it “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States.” Is social media addictive to kids? Major social media companies are facing landmark trials this year for how their platforms affect children. A case against Google-owned YouTube and Meta-owned Instagram begins this week. The companies face accusations that their platforms were designed to be addictive for kids. The platforms TikTok and Snap were initially named in the lawsuit, but settled for undisclosed amounts. Floridian Christian defended for objecting to pro-abort COVID shot Liberty Counsel recently filed an appeal on behalf of a Christian who lost his job for not getting the COVID-19 shot, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Christian Marin worked for Nemours Children's Hospital in Florida. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he refused to get the shot due to his pro-life beliefs. The hospital fired him in 2021. And the Florida Commission on Human Relations sided with the hospital in 2023. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Nemours [Hospital] violated Marin's religious protections and should be held accountable.” RFK partners with Christian recovery programs for addicts & homeless The Trump administration is welcoming faith-based organizations to participate in a new recovery program for drug addiction and homelessness. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the announcement last week at Prevention Day. It's the largest government-sponsored gathering dedicated to advancing the prevention of substance use. Listen to comments from Secretary Kennedy. KENNEDY: “This is a chronic disease. It's a physical disease. It's a mental disease. It's an emotional disease. But, above all, it's a spiritual disease. And we need to recognize that faith-based organizations play a critical role, helping people re-establish their connections to community.” Grandfather recorded entire Bible on audio for grandkids And finally, a grandfather went viral since December for giving his grandchildren a recording of him reading the entire Bible for Christmas. It took the grandfather over a year to complete. A video of him sharing the gift got more than a million views across social media. The video was originally posted by Tiffany Shabazz. She said, “We shared one video of Grandpa giving us such a personal meaningful gift and now everyone wants a copy. I can't believe how many people this has reached. God is definitely in this story. … We are up to needing 118 copies for people all over the world.” Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Austin is a Gen Z hotspot, ranking 8th in the U.S. in a recent report, with tens of thousands of the 20 to 24-year-olds in town. So, what is it about Austin that attracts these young adults, who celebrated milestones of their senior high school years on screen during the COVID-19 pandemic? And why are they throwing raves in coffee shops on Saturday mornings? Shouldn't they still be hungover? Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Meher Yeda, a fact-checker with Texas Monthly who wrote about Gen Z, to better understand. Plus, Yeda fills us in on the real reason Gen Zers don't drink (hint: It's less IRL than you might think) and shares her predictions for what they'll be into in their 30s. Want some more Austin news?

The US Dept of Agriculture's new dietary guidelines surprised the public when they revealed a completely flipped food pyramid. Meat, eggs, and butter appear to be back! But what difference will this make in our dietary habits? Can the guidelines weaken the appeal of ultra-processed foods? And what does the fine print in the guidelines reveal? John Klar, the author of Small Farm Republic and MAHA advocate, goes over the implications of this historic announcement and the alliance between the USDA and Health and Human Services agencies. He discusses the pluses and the minuses of the new pyramid, whether raw milk will ever be legalized on a federal level, and why millennials and Gen Zers' food choices are giving him hope for the future.

Something breaks when devotion outpaces reciprocity, and many high-performing women do not realize the cost until the collapse is unavoidable. In this conversation, Alexandra Norris traces her journey from decades of HR leadership into a profound reckoning shaped by codependence, ambition, and identity loss. Together with Amy, she explores how care becomes self-erasure, why boundaries fail where standards succeed, and what emerges when women transition from relentless responsibility into the clarity and authority of crone wisdom. The result is an honest examination of leadership, power, fairness, and the quiet transformation that occurs when women stop managing outcomes and start standing in truth.Key Takeaways:When Success Becomes Self-Abandonment – Understand how high achievement can quietly evolve into emotional and financial overextension.The Hidden Mechanics of Codependence – Learn how belief, loyalty, and knowledge can become traps rather than strengths.Why Boundaries Fail and Standards Hold – Discover a reframing that restores personal agency without control or blame.Fairness Versus Justice in Relationships – Gain a new lens for evaluating partnerships without collapsing into moral absolutes.The Crone as a Leadership Archetype – See how post-caretaking wisdom offers steadiness, truth, and cultural repair.Strategic Culture as Human Alignment – Explore how belief systems, not strategy decks, determine execution and trust.About the Guest:Alexandra Norris has spent 30 years building a successful HR leadership to strategic culture consultant career when everything crashed around her. Now she shares her expertise and lessons learned to (1) help executives reach $10m, $40m, and $100m ARR milestones, (2) help Gen Zers define and navigate their careers in corporate, and (3) help women transition from Mother to Crone.www.linkedin.com/in/alexandraknorrishttps://www.youtube.com/@StrategicCulturePartners-x3www.strategicculturepartners.comhttps://career-navigation-mastery-studio.mn.co/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Are we heading to a time where everybody has a disability? Or, if you don't have one, you're pretty stupid? The boys drink and review Trail of Crumbs gingerbread stout from Seven Locks Brewing, then discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act and how many college students are now considered disabled. It's impossible to accommodate every disability, so there will always be some fuzziness in how far the ADA is supposed to go, but ... it seems to have gone too far, especially with accommodations for mental health. COVID seems to have accelerated crazy claims under the ADA. People got accustomed to working from home, and when they were told to go back to the office, they suddenly needed a lot of "accommodations." It's even worse in academia. Students come up every kind of "disability" to get extra time on tests and other accommodations. Sometimes it's something as silly as being anxious. 40 percent of the students at Stanford are considered disabled. Is that even possible? Is "test anxiety" a disability?

It's Tuesday, January 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Venezuelan authorities release 800 pastors and others from prison Over 800 pastors and other so-called political prisoners were released from Venezuelan jails over the weekend. Psalm 68:1-3 declares, “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered. Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.” 3 pastors released from Nicaraguan prisons And, also, at least three pastors have been released from Nicaraguan prisons. That includes Pastor Rudy Palacios Vargas, the founder of La Roca de Nicaragua Church Association, his sister, two brothers-in-law, a member of the church worship team and a family friend. They were part of a block of 20 political prisoners released over the weekend, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Noteworthy however was this: Another pastor, serving 23 years on false charges, was not among those released. Efrén Antonio Vílchez López was arrested when he condemned the government's treatment of protesters in 2018. 540 protestors killed by Iranian authorities The body count is ratcheting up in the anti-government protests continuing across Iran. As of Monday, at least 540 people have died, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency. The protests have hit 585 locations across the country in 186 cities located in 31 provinces. These casualties rival the Black Friday revolution of 1978 in Iran where at least 500 died in the turmoil. Iranian government blocks satellite signals into country Today marks the fourth day of government shutdown of the internet across Iran — including a military grade level block of Elon Musk's Starlink system. The SpaceX organization has received authorization to double the number of Starlink satellites in orbit to 15,000. Already, Starlink commands 66% of active satellites orbiting Earth. Bible sales up in United Kingdom This in from the United Kingdom. Premier Christian News announced that Bible sales have doubled since 2019, with a 28% surge in just the last year. Sam Richardson, CEO of the Christian publisher SPCK Group, explained that “[The Bible sales] are evidence of a significant cultural shift regarding matters of faith and religion in this country.” Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” Trump wants Greenland President Donald Trump is serious about including Greenland under American holdings. He announced that “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not. I would like to make a deal. … If we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way." The Danish prime minister, Mette Frederickson, responded over the weekend. He said this would mean the collapse of NATO. Trump vs. Fed Chair Jerome Powell The battle between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve Board has heated up. The Trump Justice Department has issued grand jury summons and threatened Chairman Jerome Powell with a criminal indictment relating to the scope of the Fed's ongoing renovation project. Mr. Powell published a video over the weekend on the matter: In his words, “This [legal proceeding] is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.” POWELL: “This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public.” Supreme Court examines transgender issue The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments today on whether states should be able to ban men, pretending to be women, from participating in female sports. The Idaho and West Virginia laws under scrutiny are concerned with regulating public school sports — not private school sports. The transgender lobby wants to apply Title IX to the matter. Almost double Gen Zers converted to Christ vs. Millennials And finally, some good news on the Gen Z generation from Pew Research, but only moderately so. Pew Research has some recent numbers, comparing Gen Z with the Millennial group 10 years ago. Three percent of Millennials converted to Christianity and 5% of Gen Z'ers say the same thing. Plus, 31% of Millennials raised in the Christian faith left the faith. And 26% of Gen Z'ers raised in the Christian faith have left the faith. In addition, 42% of Millennials remain Christian while 41% of Gen Z'ers remain Christians. All that to say -- the bloodletting in the generational faith retrograde continues, but there has been a slight correction for the youngest adult population.

It has been talked about — and meme'd about — all year: Generation Z is struggling economically. They're being priced out of the housing market, having trouble finding stable jobs, and are saddled with significant debt. And while President Trump performed well with young voters — winning 46% of Gen Zers last year, including 56% of young men — in 2025, there appeared to be a shift to the left. Throughout the year, we saw more signs that Zoomers are embracing socialist-leaning views. The surge of progressive candidates, like Zohran Mamdani — who won last month's New York City mayoral race — reflected a focus on “affordability” and policies such as free bus service. According to a Gallup poll released this past September, young adults generally — but especially younger Democrats — are cooling on capitalism. Only 31% of Democrats under 50 now have a positive view of it, compared to 54% in 2010. FOX News' Kaylee McGee White joins FOX Business' Taylor Riggs to break down why Gen Z is rallying around socialist ideas — and what can be done to help young people achieve the American Dream. Plus, they discuss why Gen Z isn't big on buying holiday gifts, and what the best and worst presents are to receive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In this episode, we take an honest look at a statement many Gen Zers quietly wrestle with: “I don't feel like a Christian.” What happens when your faith makes sense in theory, but feels distant or disconnected in your heart? Do fluctuating emotions or doubts mean something is wrong with your salvation? Let's explore what Scripture actually says about salvation and assurance, including the important distinction between eternal security (what God does and promises) and assurance of salvation (what we experience and feel). If you've ever wondered, “Am I really saved?” or if you've ever felt spiritually disconnected or unsure where you stand with God, this episode will help you ground your faith not in feelings, but in truth.

A recent article in The Wall Street Journal highlights a growing problem for young daters: the swag gap. Gen Zers tend to be comfortably casual in all the wrong scenarios, especially when courting someone they are interested in. While you may think that putting on slacks or jeans for a date is cumbersome, your sweats could be the reason your special someone decided to ghost you.
