In this video, I explore the reasons why Gen Z is struggling with adulthood, relationships, and navigating the challenges of real life. Many young people today are stuck in a fantasy-driven mindset, shaped by media and entertainment that detach them from reality. From distorted views of intimacy to the glorification of victimhood, these cultural forces are undermining their ability to form meaningful connections and embrace responsibility. I believe this issue isn’t just limited to Gen Z—it’s a broader societal problem that affects us all. Our culture promotes consumerism and shallow communication, leaving many young people feeling isolated and lost. But there is hope. I encourage those struggling with these issues to explore the Orthodox Church, where genuine community, real relationships, and spiritual growth can be found. It’s a place where you can reconnect with reality, find a sense of purpose, and immerse yourself in a tradition that fosters true human flourishing. If you're feeling disconnected, I invite you to look beyond the noise of modern culture and rediscover what it means to live a meaningful life. Find your local Orthodox church and experience this for yourself.
