"Helps youth workers move from theory to faithful practice"

In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, Faithful Futures offers church leaders a lifeline: practical, research-based tools to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful conversations about faith.

"Packard is one of the voices I trust most when it comes to the faith and life journeys of today's teenagers. His research is both profound and practical. If you care about the next generation, Faithful Futures is a must-read."
--Kara Powell, Fuller Seminary and Fuller Youth Institute

"Absolutely essential reading for anyone who cares about young people and faith. Packard reframes the research we've been (mis)reading about young people and religion and offers up a refreshingly readable and surprisingly useful book. If you read only one book on youth ministry this year, this should be the one."
--Kenda Creasy Dean, Princeton Theological Seminary

"Packard has once again given us a thoughtful, research-driven resource that meets this moment. His deep understanding of Gen Z and Gen Alpha helps youth workers move from theory to faithful practice. Anyone serious about reaching young people should study this work closely."
--Jake Bland, president/CEO, Youth for Christ USA

"Packard has given us an important way to listen to young people. And more, he's given us a way to help lead them into listening. This book is filled with insights on the challenges and importance of listening and how this listening can reconnect us with the sacred. A timely and important book."
--Andrew Root, Luther Seminary; author of Evangelism in an Age of Despair

"Packard offers readers hope, practical tools, simple solutions, timely insights, and more. Faithful Futures is a road map that provides clear pathways for creating spaces where people of every generation can fully belong."
--Arthur L. Satterwhite III, vice president of strategy, Young Life
