In this insightful episode of Breathe, hosts David Person and Pastor Debleaire Snell sit down with five brilliant Gen Z leaders to move past the stereotypes and hear the unfiltered truth about faith, community, and the future of ministry. This conversation brings together a panel of students from Oakwood University to discuss why many young people are choosing smaller, more intimate settings over large, flashy productions. The guests dive deep into the necessity of authenticity, explaining that they are looking for a community where people are the same in the hallways as they are on the stage. They also address the painful reality of church hurt, the impact of judgmental cultures, and the need for leadership to prioritize connection over correction. Despite the challenges, these young leaders share why they remain committed to their faith and how they plan to raise the next generation with a focus on the liberating joy of Christ rather than just a list of restrictions. Whether you are a church leader, a parent, or someone looking to understand the shifting landscape of modern worship, this episode offers a profound look at how to build a more inclusive and Christ-centered environment for all ages. #genz #faith #churchculture #discipleship #breathoflife","meta_description":"What does the next generation actually want from the church?
