      “One thing we’ve got to realize as leaders is Generation Z—young adults, college students, teenagers—they want more out of church than just going to potluck dinners. You know what I mean? They want more out of church than even just listening to us preach.” @shane_pruitt78

      “Take really good care of the ones you have, and then they’ll spread the word as well.” – @shane_pruitt78
