Many of us have seen the statistics that Gen Z is the least explicitly Christian or religious generation on record. As a result, we might immediately despair about ministering to this generation.
In this panel recorded at TGC25, Rachel Gilson, Alex Harris, Kori Porter, and Derek Rishmawy discuss unexpected signs of gospel hope and renewal. They talk about the challenges facing ministers and parents of Gen Z, as well as what gospel strategies are bearing spiritual fruit around the world.
