<p data-start="192" data-end="455">A <a href="https://web.arizonachristian.edu/CRC/2026/AWVI-2026_Report_3-Progress-and-Regress-of-Gen-Z.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new survey</a> from <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Arizona Christian University</span></span> and researcher <strong>Dr. <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">George Barna</span></span></strong> reveals a troubling contradiction within Generation Z: while more young people are identifying as Christians, very few actually hold a biblical worldview.</p>
<p>According to the study, Gen Z is showing increased interest in matters of faith. More young adults claim to be Christians, report a deeper commitment to practicing their beliefs, and say they are reading the Bible regularly.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/05/the-gen-z-paradox-rising-faith-collapsing-worldview/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.arizonachristian.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/CRC-Release-Pre-Election-1-Oct-12-2024-Final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent national survey</a> conducted by <strong>George Barna</strong> of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University indicates that many Christians do not plan to vote on Nov. 5. Mr. Barna says that about 104 million religious people will not bother to vote in this election, and of those, 32 million are theologically defined as born-again Christians.</p>

<p>Mr. Barna’s survey answers that question.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/10/every-christian-has-a-moral-obligation-to-vote/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
