The US is sliding down the world happiness rankings - but it's the unhappiness of young people that's really dragging down the average. What has happened to make Gen Z so sad? And what can be done to turn the situation around?

Jan-Emmanuel De Neve (director of Oxford University’s Wellbeing Research Centre) has been analyzing the figures for the World Happiness Report. He offers advice to young people and parents, and looks at what happy young Lithuanians can teach the rest of the world.

Today we're joined by our friend Kirk Cameron to talk about his new book, "The Fox, the Fair, and the Invention Scare," as well as the rise of inappropriate books for children in schools and why it matters to fight back. First, we recap our last conversation with Kirk, in which he declared public schools enemy number one. Is this still the case, and what should Christians who work in public schools do to combat the ever-growing hostility toward their worldview? We look at where inappropriate children's books are coming from and explain how Scholastic Books is a wolf in sheep's clothing attempting to force gender ideology books among the books we know and love. Kirk shares about his alternative to Scholastic Book Fairs, SkyTree Books Fairs, and we discuss why he feels to passionately about this subject and why it's so important for us as Christians to stand against the indoctrination of kids. We end with some encouragement on creating good soil for our children and the optimism we can have. --- Timecodes: (01:12) Public education (07:30) Scholastic Books (13:06) Sky Tree book fairs (14:30) How did Scholastic get to this point?

Today we're starting off with a much-needed, good-news story of a firefighter who found a baby in a Safe Haven Baby Box at his fire station and proceeded to adopt her. We talk about the beauty of God knowing exactly what family this little baby was going to be a part of. Unfortunately, it's not all good news. We also look at Demi Lovato's new song "Swine," which is a vulgar pro-abortion anthem. We read some of Demi's crass lyrics and explain why we actually just feel bad for how lost she is. Then, we discuss the eight-year anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision and the many arguments that this breakdown of the family would not lead to even more extreme definitions of family. Despite the claims that Obergefell wouldn't lead to polygamy, a comparison between 2015 and now proves otherwise. One example of the depravity we've found ourselves in is the Seattle Pride parade, which featured a group of fully naked men riding bikes directly in front of children. We explain why mothers and fathers are not interchangeable and why the attack on the family is so dangerous.

We’re continuing our conversation with activist, founder of the me too movement, and our personal friend and hero,Tarana Burke. We talk about:  1. What Tarana would say to her twelve-year-old self that might have changed the trajectory of her life. 2. Tarana’s life-shifting realization that her relationship struggles with her mother were not due to her mother’s lack of desire to love her well, but her lack of capacity—and how Tarana built more capacity for her own child.    3. The one thing Tarana said to her child that changed everything—and why Amanda now says the same thing to her children.   CW: We reference sexual abuse and trauma. About Tarana:  For more than 25 years, activist and advocate Tarana J. Burke has worked at the intersection of sexual violence and racial justice. Fueled by commitments to interrupt sexual violence and other systemic inequalities disproportionately impacting marginalized people, particularly Black women and girls, Tarana has created and led various campaigns focused on increasing access to resources and support for impacted communities, including the ‘me too.’ movement, which to date has galvanized millions of survivors and allies around the world.
