What does the Bible actually mean by justice? And how should Christians think about "social justice" in today's cultural climate?

In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, we sit down with Dr. Christina Crenshaw to explore why justice has become such a defining issue for Gen Z and how Christians can pursue justice in a way that is rooted in Scripture rather than shifting cultural ideologies. Drawing from her book Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World, Christina explains the difference between biblical justice and modern social justice, why worldview matters, and how the gospel transforms the way Christians engage brokenness in the world.

Together we discuss:

*Why justice has become central to Gen Z identit

*The difference between biblical justice and social justice

*Worldview assumptions behind modern activism

*Grace-based justice vs. guilt-driven activism

*How Jesus redefined justice

*What biblical justice looks like for students today

In a world where Gen Z is more connected than ever—and yet more anxious, lonely, and unsure of their worth—what questions are they really asking about God?

In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Tanita Maddox to explore the deeper spiritual and emotional struggles shaping today's generation. Drawing from decades of ministry experience and doctoral research, Tanita explains why many young people are not rejecting faith as much as they are searching for meaning, belonging, authenticity, and hope.

Together, they unpack:

* Why Gen Z often feels unseen, misunderstood, and "not enough"
* How smartphones and social media reshaped identity and self-worth
* The difference between answering theological questions and hearing the pain beneath them
* Why apologetics alone cannot address loneliness, anxiety, and suffering
* What Gen Z actually wants from parents, mentors, and the Church
* How everyday presence and authentic relationships can open the door to deeper faith conversations
* Why young people care deeply about injustice, suffering, and whether God is restoring the world

Tanita also shares practical insights for parents, pastors, educators, and mentors seeking to communicate truth in ways that feel real, compassionate, and deeply relevant to everyday life.

If you've ever wondered why younger generations seem disconnected from faith—or how to better reach them with the hope of the Gospel—this conversation offers both clarity and encouragement.
