A new survey from the Barna Group shows that American teenagers are deeply engaged in questions about faith — and many feel a sense of urgency to find answers.
The poll, which focused on adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18, found that 57% of teens say they feel pressure to determine whether or not God actually exists. That same percentage — 57% — also reported feeling pressure to figure out whether God loves them.
Christian leaders are pointing to these numbers as a sign that the nation’s young people represent one of the most significant opportunities for outreach available to believers today, calling youth one of the most important mission fields in the country.
