388: Griffin Gooch on Why Gen-Z Wants Truth, A Generation That’s Burned Out by Conflicting Narratives, Fighting Cynicism, and Training Ourselves in Discomfort

Joining us today is a 26-year-old Gen-Z writer named Griffin Gooch. We met last year, and after a long conversation, his curious bent towards philosophy, discipleship, and our current cultural moment, fused with his intellectual sharpness and posture of humility, signaled to me an opportunity to share him with you all. So today, Griffin and I sit down to talk about his generation, specifically why Gen-Z wants truth and why they are burned out by conflicting narratives from the myriad of echo chambers in our society. Also, Griffin sheds light on fighting cynicism and why we need to train ourselves in discomfort. I’ve been waiting for the right time to share this conversation, and after Wednesday’s episode with Jeanine Amapola, I knew this was the right time. I do believe you’re going to enjoy this conversation and learn a lot.
