5 reasons Coco Gauff’s US Open win is a triumph for faith and family values

Coco Gauff is a perfect example of living out your faith in 21st Century America

Coco Gauff is a member of Generation Z which studies show, more than half still identify as Christian, despite being less religious and engaged with the Bible than their older counterparts.

According to the American Bible Society’s State of the Bible USA 2023 report, about half of them, like Coco Gauff, still credit the Bible’s message for transforming their lives.

While noting in a statement that “scripture engagement rates for Gen Z have been on a steady decline over the past three years,” ABS Chief Ministry Insights Officer John Farquhar Plake said, “this generation still shows significant interest in the Bible and the message of Jesus.”

“Ministry leaders may be surprised to find how open Gen Z adults in their communities are to discussion about God’s Word,” he said. “If the trends we’re seeing continue—it’s crucial to be having those conversations now.”
