Last week, we worked through some generational distinctives and effective methods for equipping members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha to share and live out their faith. This week, we focus in on the area of Christian citizenship and hear from a member of Gen Z engaged in public life. In this episode, guest Birjan Crispin shares his remarkable story that began in a Bulgarian orphanage, how he became a follower of Jesus, and how God led him to impact the public square. We also discuss the spiritual condition of Gen Z, how Gen Z thinks about the church and its role in public life, and how ministries can effectively disciple the next generation in the area of Christian citizenship.

Birjan Crispin is the Deputy Director of The Good Citizen Project, a Hope College graduate (’20) – B.A. Business & Political Science, a former legislative aide with the Indiana House Republican Caucus, graduate of the Heritage Foundation’s Leadership Fellowship Academy, the Leadership Institute’s Young Leaders Program, and Indiana Family Institute’s Hoosier Leadership Series Class of 2024. He is also a speaker and author.
