About this listen

The next generation is the future of the church." We’ve all said it. But what if that phrase is exactly why they’re leaving?

In this episode, I break down the "Generational Wall", the invisible barriers of comfort, tradition, and "reserved seats" that are pushing young people away. From the "Baseball Cap Scandal" to remembering a name, we explore why Gen Z isn't looking for a perfect production, they're looking for a place where they can keep the hat on until they feel safe enough to be known.

It’s time to move beyond the numbers and start building a church that prioritizes connection over comfort.
