183. Social Media Destroyed Gen Z (Here's Why) | Mary Morgan

Episode Description from the Publisher

What is Gen Z really going through, and what can their experience teach the rest of us about faith, technology, and the search for meaning? In this episode, I sit down in person with Mary Morgan, a Gen Z cultural commentator and host of Pop Culture Crisis, for one of the most wide-ranging and honest conversations I have had on this podcast. Mary and I cover a lot of ground together, from the very real dangers of AI companionship and the way social media algorithms are designed to exploit insecurity, to the surprising backlash she received for simply suggesting that some young women might be called to religious life. We also dig into the birth control conversation that keeps getting shut down, why getting married and starting a family has become a countercultural act for her generation, and what it means to grow up online without any map for how to live. Mary is sharp, disarming, and refreshingly willing to say what others won't, and I think you are going to love this conversation. If this episode resonated with you, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments, and make sure you are subscribed so you never miss a new episode.
