The Power Of Family
Globally, youth display high levels of trust in family members in regards to their spiritual formation.
Conversely, youth do not frequently look to pastors or other religious leaders for faith formation. The same is true of the Bible, which ranks lower than family members as a source of religious influence.
Corrupt Leaders
Globally, youth see the corruption of leaders – especially those in government – as the greatest societal problem.
A lack of faith in leaders extends to religious institutions. Young people trust their military, their schools, and their employers over their churches.
