## Resource

Generation Z (ages 14–29) is America’s most anxious generation, battling record levels of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and a deep lack of purpose. But there’s hope. In this powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Garrett Bryant—31-year-old Gen Z spokesman for Prayer At The Heart and prayer coordinator for the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. Garrett breaks down the root causes of these struggles, how they feed into one another, and why his generation is experiencing a fresh hunger for what’s real: authentic faith in Jesus Christ. Backed by Barna research, Garrett shares encouraging signs of growing spiritual openness among Gen Z and explains why prayer is at the center of the solution. He also unveils Prayer At The Heart’s bold “Project 2026” initiative: calling one million Christians to pray for the salvation of one friend or family member during the spiritually significant 50-day window from Passover (April 1) through Pentecost Sunday (May 24). Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or concerned believer, this conversation will encourage you and equip you to pray with purpose for the next generation.
