In this episode of New South Christians, Sarah Keefer shares her honest and heartfelt experience navigating faith as a member of Generation Z. From growing up in a small-town church to stepping away during the pandemic, and eventually rediscovering Jesus through truth-driven teaching and intentional community, Sarah opens up about what spiritual growth really looks like in today’s disconnected culture.
She discusses the difference between conviction and shame, the challenges of finding authentic faith in large church settings, and how meaningful connection requires far more than showing up on Sundays. Sarah also reflects on the struggles Gen Z faces in building friendships and relationships — not only within the church, but across college campuses, dating culture, and everyday social spaces.
Through stories of church hurt, pandemic isolation, and her journey back to Christ-centered faith, Sarah gives voice to a generation searching for something deeper than performance-based religion and surface-level relationships.
Whether you're a young adult trying to navigate your own walk with God, or someone looking to understand the spiritual landscape of Gen Z, this episode offers a powerful glimpse into the tensions, hopes, and redemptive moments shaping modern Christianity.
🎧 New South Christians explores the evolving spiritual perspectives of Generation Z and how they contrast with traditional beliefs in the Bible Belt. Join us every Tuesday and Thursday for honest conversations about faith, culture, and the generational shift in Christianity.
