The Link

How do we reach a generation that’s spiritually curious but culturally distant from the Church? In part two of Gen Z & the Quiet Revival, Pastor Chris sits down with John Irvine, Woodside's Director of University Outreach, for a conversation about what’s shaping the next generation. Backed by findings from Barna Research Group, they talk about Gen Z’s hunger for truth, their openness to mentorship, and why the church may need to shift from a "come and see" to a "go and listen" mentality.

Drawing from fresh insights in Barna Research Group's latest Gen Z Report, Pastor Chris shares why today’s young adults might be more spiritually open than we think—and why that matters for parents, mentors, and the church at large.
