How do we reach the next generation?
In this episode of the Bible Matters Podcast, we speak with pastor and theologian Kevin DeYoung about how churches can faithfully answer that question. Drawing from his book The (Not-So-Secret) Secret to Reaching the Next Generation, Kevin challenges the idea that there is a hidden formula for effective ministry.
Rather than chasing trends or trying to stay relevant, he makes the case for something both simpler and more demanding: faithful Christian living, rooted in Scripture and expressed through truth, love, and godly character. This is a deeply encouraging conversation for anyone involved in youth ministry, church leadership, or discipleship.
