There's been a quiet murmuring over the last few years among Christians that something was happening in America, with more and more people appearing to return to church amid chaotic times.

At first, it was just something friends were saying to those they trusted when they explained that it was happening across the country. However, with no proof, it was just that, speculation.

But that all appears to be changing. On Wednesday, Fox News' "Fox and Friends" hosts welcomed up-and-coming Christian music artist Anne Wilson to talk about how young Americans are returning to church.

"Young Americans are leading a Christian revival across the country," the hosts said, before sharing some incredible statistics.

Here are the numbers:

Annual U.S. Bible sales: +41.6% since 2022

Religion and Spirituality App downloads: +79.5% since 2019

Contemporary Christian music streaming on Spotify: +50% since 2019.

Wilson was asked her thoughts about what we are seeing from the younger generation. The 23-year-old Christian singer and influencer admitted that it has been amazing.

"Seeing my generation come to Jesus in a way they never have before is such an encouraging thing to see," Wilson said. "It feels like my generation is hungry for something real and something lasting to grab [on] to. And so I think vulnerability has become a big thing in my generation."

"People just being honest about what they are going through, what they are facing in life…and I think people are just being so much more open about faith," she added. "And the need that we have for it."

A recent Fox News article highlighted that there's been a huge influx of young men, particularly those from Gen Z, returning to church.

The report read:

A recent Barna Group study suggests that church attendance has increased among Gen Z and Millennial men, showing signs of a return to church that surpasses older generations.

Gen Z men are attending slightly more often than Millennial men, marking a generational reversal.

Barna Group's vice president of research, Daniel Copeland, said that most adults attend church around two out of every five weekends, but Gen Z is reversing the flow.

"This data represents good news for church leaders and adds to the picture that spiritual renewal is shaping Gen Z and Millennials today," Copeland said.

Dr. Cory Marsh, professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary, told the outlet that "Gen Z males are becoming fed up with a virtual world run by algorithms and dating apps… and are seeking something real. Churches should respond to the current trend by modeling grace and truth, without elevating one above the other."

Could this be a sign that Americans are ready to return to our Christian roots? Maybe. Until then, we will have to just keep praying that we are headed in that direction.
