We are losing a generation.
Young people are anxious, overwhelmed, and searching for something steady in a world that constantly shifts. The noise is loud. The pressure to perform, fit in, and figure it all out is leaving many of them exhausted.
Disconnected from FAITH. Disconnected from PURPOSE. Disconnected from THEMSELVES.
Without real guidance, they are turning to social media and surface level trends to shape their identity. But what they truly need is peace, belonging, and direction.When young people are disconnected, so is the stability of our communities, our future workforce, and our leadership pipeline.
What affects them affects us all.
Beneath the filters and scrolls is a silent crisis.
Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10 to 24.
Teen sadness and hopelessness have risen from 28% to 42% in just 10 years.
Alcohol-related deaths surged nearly 30% between 2016 and 2021.³
Mental health is at an all-time low. 1 in 5 teens faces a diagnosed mental health condition each year in the U.S.⁴
In the absence of real guidance, they’re turning to algorithms, influencers, and surface-level culture to define who they are. But behind the curated posts and highlight reels is a generation quietly craving peace, purpose, and a place to belong.
Depression is rising. Substance use is numbing the pain, and suicide is now a daily reality for too many.
They’re not just looking for answers. They’re looking for identity. They’re looking for home.
"The Reconnect" is a Holy Culture Weekend Experience that brings together the powerful synergy of Holy Culture Records artists, local Christian Hip-Hop Artists, and Holy Culture Radio (heard by millions on SiriusXM Channel 140) in partnership with local churches. By integrating Christian Hip-Hop into the church community, we aim to welcome more youth and those influenced by hip-hop culture into a vibrant faith environment, while equipping churches with hyper-relevant ministry tools.
Friday Night: Concert Experience
A high-energy Christian Hip-Hop concert led by Holy Culture Records and local artists that sets the tone for transformation. The artists will share personal testimonies of faith, identity, and purpose, creating a space where the youth feel seen and inspired. The night will end with prayer, altar call, and an open invitation to return for Saturday’s workshops.
Saturday: Purpose Workshops
Interactive, artist-led sessions that help youth explore their gifts and understand their God-given purpose. These workshops will offer real tools for personal and spiritual growth, while supporting honest conversations about faith, culture, and life. All attendees will be invited to Sunday’s worship gathering.
Sunday: Worship & Community Connection
On Sundays, we will hold a powerful service where artists and local church leaders lead worship together. The youth will experience authentic faith in a way that reflects their identity and culture. Relationships will be built, trust will be formed, and the church will become a place they want to return to.
