Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

The generational divide in our country feels massive.  With the rise of Gen Z and the sentiment of ‘Okay Boomer’, it doesn't feel as though one generation values the other.  If anything, younger generations especially are scapegoated for the direction our culture is taking.  In this episode we welcome Selah Cluff and as a member of GenZ to discuss this divide and explore how we might cross it.

One of the first places this discussion goes is how each generation views the future and what cultural events define the generations represented. It is a wide road of experiences and events that shapes such diverse outlooks on the world and it’s future.  You won’t want to miss out on this conversation.

And finally in an exercise of relevance, Selah quizzes the Irenicast hosts on current Gen Z slang.  Find out which of the Irenicast team is in the know and who is stuck in a moment.
