Millennials in America-New Insights into the Generation of Growing Influence

This groundbreaking new research report on American Millennials takes an unprecedented look into the nation’s largest generation—offering a host of new insights about their lifestyles, relationships, politics, faith, and mental health.

Many of its findings upend the prevailing cultural narrative regarding Millennials, challenging  what has long been thought to characterize and animate the next generation. It contains dozens of unexpected new data points that provide a deep, multifaceted understanding of Millennial thoughts and behaviors.

Among its main themes, the report finds that Millennials struggle in relationships, face soaring levels of mental health issues, and desperately long for meaning and purpose. The findings also indicate that Millennials have less biblical worldview understanding than any generation since worldview was first measured more than 25 years ago by Dr. George Barna, veteran researcher and author of the new survey.

The extensive project, Millennials in America: New Insights into the Generation of Growing Influence, was released today by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, in collaboration with the non-profit Foundations of Freedom.
