Put prayer before the scroll, for your whole congregation.

A generational divide
The same generation least connected to daily prayer is the most connected to their screens.
63% of adults under 30 are online almost constantly.
Only 27% of those same young adults pray every day.

A Snapshot of Today's America
What pastors already feel in the pews
The research doesn't say phones caused the decline in daily prayer or church participation. But it does show something pastors already feel: the generation facing the strongest pull toward constant connectivity is the same generation least likely to pray daily, attend monthly, or belong to a congregation. You can't out-pastor an algorithm from the pulpit alone once a week. Churches need daily tools that help families put prayer first, before the apps unlock.
