The younger generation has far less stamina compared to the general population, by a factor of 300%. A full 75% of Gen Zers have left a job over mental health concerns. The Bible explains the cause: "They did not like to retain God in their thoughts." The mental instability of the present generation is increasing fast, due at least in part to isolation.

Great Sermon! Great podcast! I’m not an expert, and I’m not a smart person, but I wonder if a critical piece to the mental health crisis might be caused in part from the food as well. My observation is that our country is overfed and undernourished. Food has changed so much since my great grandparents’ generation. We have added chemicals to the food that have been scientifically proven to cause disease, and our food is being grown in dead soil with conventional farming practices, resulting in very poor quality nourishment. We have such a desire for cheap, convenient food, so we don’t have to spend much time at home and instead can entertain ourselves. Reading the Bible and more recently your books has opened our eyes to the greed of man. I used to believe that these big food companies and our government had our best interest in mind, but I’m afraid it’s quite the opposite! Through the work of the Holy Spirit and daily reading of God’s word we have improved our family’s physical and mental health by growing and preparing a large portion of our large family’s needs. We certainly don’t have perfect health, but this change in diet has improved it and added hours of productivity to our day. All glory to God, this was not us! I have to wonder if it might help others as well.
