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.
