Over the last decade and a half, one of Barna’s primary missions has been to understand emerging generations—specifically Gen Z and Millennials in the United States—and discover how to best equip them to grow and share their faith. In the process, Barna has interviewed nearly 100,000 teens and young adults to learn more about their worldview, especially surrounding Christianity, religion and culture. This fall, we’ll expand the scope of this inquiry to a global level at Faith for the Future, a free webcast revealing findings from an international study of 18–35-year-olds conducted in partnership with World Vision.

Below, we revisit several crucial insights from our recent reports.
