Is Gen Z Ready to Transform Political Engagement?
About this episode
What happens when we challenge young Christians to step boldly into politics instead of stepping away? Joseph Jackson shares his journey from a politics-loving teen to a leader in TeenPact, a Christian government and leadership school for students ages 13-19. He discusses how his Classical Conversations education prepared him for public speaking and debate, the importance of Christians participating in the democratic process, and why today's youth should be held to higher standards. Learn about TeenPact's unique approach to teaching students about government branches, lobbying, and the political process through week-long state classes and national conventions.
