October 2 — A wide-ranging study across various faiths and continents found that Gen Z Protestants were more interested in being known for their talents, abilities, and education than for their faith. Many view religion as a private matter that can help them through difficult times. Echoing other research, the report also found mental health to be Gen Z's greatest concern, and prayer one of their top coping mechanisms for stress. (Christianity Today, from Young Life) |
| October 2 — In an inspiring story from hurricane-ravaged Tennessee, a father crossed 17 miles of debris on foot throughout the night — at one point scrambling through knee-deep mud while bulldozers plowed fallen trees nearby — to reach his daughter's wedding.
