Is Gen Z Reviving The Church? (Ep. 5)

Are You Church Hurt or Butt Hurt? Ep. 8

In this episode, we unpack the difference between church hurt and what some people might call “butt hurt” — and why that distinction matters more than ever in today’s church. We talk about the real pain caused by spiritual abuse, betrayal, neglect, and emotionally immature leadership, but also the confusion that happens when personal disappointment gets labeled as trauma. From not getting a role you wanted to being genuinely wounded by sin in leadership, we explore where the line is and why emotional maturity is one of the biggest missing pieces in the Church today. We also get into the leadership crisis facing the modern church: Why so many leaders have theological insight but low emotional intelligence, why charisma has often been valued over character, and why the next generation desperately needs spiritual fathers and mothers — not just gifted communicators. This conversation is about healing, discernment, and the kind of leadership that actually builds healthy communities. In this episode: * Church hurt vs. personal offense * Emotional maturity in church leadership * The impact of spiritual abuse * Why Gen Z needs spiritual parenting * Charisma vs. character in ministry * The future of healthy church leadership If you’ve ever been hurt by church, confused by leadership, or wondered what healthy spiritual authority should actually look like, this episode is for you.

Is Gen Z Reviving The Church? (Ep. 5)

Is Gen Z bringing faith back to the West? After decades of declining church attendance, recent data suggests that Gen Z may be stabilizing Christianity’s decline — and even attending church more frequently than Millennials. In this episode of We Love Sundays, we unpack what’s driving this shift: * Distrust in institutions * Loneliness among young adults * Hunger for authenticity and belonging * The move away from production-heavy megachurch models * The influence of Christian creators online * Why Gen Z is drawn to repentance, grace, and vulnerability We explore whether the church has over-optimized itself in an attempt to reach culture — and if simplicity, honesty, and community might actually be what the next generation is looking for. Is this the beginning of a revival? Or just a cultural correction? Follow the pod: @welovesundayspod @iryllr @trentonslabach @albertobello
