As trust in traditional institutions continues to decline, faith communities will need to adapt to meet young people where they are. Host Todd Ferguson sits down with sociologist Josh Packard, author of Faithful Futures: Sacred Tools for Engaging Younger Generations, to explore how shifting cultural dynamics require new relational tools for religious leaders seeking to connect with youth. Packard introduces the framework of "sacred listening," sharing practical, low-tech methods for gathering meaningful insights and building sustained, transformative relationships.
