We're wrapping this season of Next Gen Now in a new way—by handing the mic to the voices closest to students every week--our student ministers.

In this short intro episode, we introduce a couple of our student ministers who will be stepping in to host a special run of conversations centered around real questions students are asking about faith, life, and following Jesus. Most of our listeners are parents and leaders, and this is for you too. These conversations are designed not only to engage students, but to help you better understand what they're carrying and how to walk with them in it. And if you're a student listening—this is for you. Your questions matter, and this is a space where they can be explored honestly and faithfully.

What to Expect in This Series -Honest conversations around real questions students are asking -Voices from student ministers who are walking closely with this generation -A conversational approach to faith and discipleship -Practical insight for parents and leaders to better engage students

We believe discipleship grows in environments where questions are welcomed, not avoided. When students are given space to ask honestly, it opens the door for deeper faith, real formation, and a more personal walk with Jesus. And when parents and leaders understand those questions, they're better equipped to walk alongside them. Students—we want to hear from you. Bring your real questions. Nothing is off the table. Parents and leaders—consider listening alongside your students or using these conversations to start meaningful dialogue at home or in your groups. If this resonates with students, this may grow into something even more—creating ongoing space just for them and their questions. Real questions don't weaken faith—they can deepen it.
