CSO Recording of Googling God
In this presentation of PNCEA’s Catholic Speakers Online series, Mike Hayes discusses how world events and personal experiences coupled with a technologically fast-paced world are influencing religious culture among those in their 20s and 30s. Mike leads us through the latest religious trends and discusses what we know about the religious desires of today’s young adults. He also addresses how we can help those in this generation outside the church find the richness of our tradition and how we can help those already involved stay connected to their faith.
Mike co-founded BustedHalo.com with Fr. Brett Hoover,CSP, in December 2001. In addition to his work at BustedHalo, Mike serves as the President of the board of directors for the National Catholic Young Adult Ministry Association. A frequent speaker on ministering to young adults, Mike is the author of Googling God: The Religious Landscape of People in their 20s and 30s with Paulist Press.
