If you're working with Gen Z, you know this generation is asking big questions about purpose, justice, mental health, relationships, and how faith fits into their lives. These aren't superficial concerns; they hit at the core of everything Gen Z wrestles with in a fast-evolving, often chaotic world.
And for youth pastors, church leaders, and parents, the challenge is clear but daunting: How do we meet them where they’re at?
That’s where Reframe steps in. Built with deep insight into Gen Z culture and an unwavering commitment to a biblical foundation, Reframe offers a transformational approach to tackling the questions that genuinely matter to this generation.
Here’s a closer look at what today’s youth are grappling with, and how Reframe provides the tools to address them head-on.
What Are Gen Z’s Most Pressing Questions?
1. How can I find purpose and meaning in a rapidly changing world?
With constant cultural upheaval, environmental crises, economic instability, and the fast pace of technology, Gen Z faces a world that often feels unstable and fragmented. For many, this leads to anxiety about their role in it all and how they can live a life that truly matters.
2. How does faith relate to social justice and cultural issues?
This generation’s passion for justice is unmatched. Whether it’s engaging with issues like racism, climate change, or gender equality, Gen Z wants to see faith and action intersect. To them, everything is interconnected. If faith doesn’t address systemic inequality or cultural relevancy, it often feels hollow.
3. How can I maintain mental and emotional well-being in a digital age?
Being digital natives, Gen Z spends unprecedented amounts of time online, whether that’s doomscrolling, connecting on social platforms, or consuming endless streams of content. While the internet offers opportunity, it also comes with overwhelming pressure, leading to heightened levels of stress, anxiety, comparison, and burnout.
4. How can I develop authentic relationships and community?
Ironically, despite being hyper-connected online, Gen Z struggles with loneliness. Building deep, meaningful connections in a sea of curated Instagram feeds and surface-level Snapchat interactions can feel nearly impossible.
5. How can I apply biblical principles to everyday life decisions?
From grappling with dating and sexuality to navigating their careers and social lives, Gen Z craves practical, actionable ways to live out their faith. They’re not just looking for abstract theology; they want tools for real life.
How Does Reframe Address These Questions?
Reframe isn’t your average church curriculum. It’s designed specifically for today’s context. Here’s how it tackles Gen Z’s toughest, most personal challenges.
1. Helping Gen Z Find Purpose and Meaning
Reframe starts with a foundational truth: Purpose begins with knowing God and understanding our identity in Him. Through story-driven teaching and relatable examples, students are challenged to see their lives as part of God’s bigger narrative.
Each lesson connects Scripture to real-world scenarios, whether that’s exploring vocational purpose, navigating failures, or recognizing how God’s presence shapes everyday life.
Reframe in Action: Every series includes practical applications like journaling prompts or discussion questions to help students chart their unique part in God’s story.
2. Connecting Faith and Social Justice
Gen Z isn’t content with faith that stays inside the walls of a church. Reframe’s curriculum weaves justice-oriented themes throughout, showing how biblical principles can shape activism, advocacy, and love in a broken world.
Students don’t just learn about justice conceptually; they’re empowered to live it—whether that’s battling inequality, protecting creation, or engaging in reconciliation.
Reframe in Action: A series like “Justice IRL” encourages students to break down current justice issues through a biblical lens, identify practical ways to serve their communities, and engage in meaningful, Christ-centered discussions.
3. Prioritizing Mental and Emotional Well-Being
Reframe recognizes that mental health is a spiritual issue too. Lessons emphasize the importance of finding rest, managing anxiety, and cultivating healthy rhythms in life, all grounded in the hope of Scripture.
By pairing faith with emotional resilience, Reframe helps students see that their worth isn’t tied to social media likes or academic success but in being deeply loved by God.
