Gen Z (born years 1997-2013) is easy to focus on the negative things society says about this generation. But on this broadcast, the team has a conversation on leveraging relational authority in the lives of this generation to see God using them in the local church. 

The team discusses:  

• Why relational authority with Gen Z is different than ever before.
• How can church leaders disciple a child if their parent can't (or won't) be the spiritual leader in the home?
• What's one of the first things we can do to begin the discipleship process for kids?
