Who is Generation Alpha, and what are they up against? In this episode, Josh and Jen sit down with author and Renewanation team member Janine McNally to unpack the defining marks of today’s youngest generation, from constant screen exposure to the erosion of the nuclear family to a worldview battle over truths that past generations never had to question.
Janine, author of When You See Fireflies: Equipping Leaders and Parents to Minister Effectively to Generation Alpha, shares what she is seeing in her research and in her own family, including how the Covid years shaped this generation’s trust in authority and why so many kids today carry a diagnosis their parents’ generation never did. Janine points parents and grandparents back to the basics: biblical boundaries, a home that prioritizes God’s Word, and a family rhythm built on truth rather than trend.
Stick around to the end for a fun (and humbling) round of Gen Alpha slang, tested live on Janine.
