The Questions Gen Z Won’t Stop Asking About Missions with Mark Matlock


Listen Later

Gen Z is stepping onto the mission field with big questions on their hearts. Is missions moral? Does the West still have a role to play? How do you navigate support raising in today’s world? And what does healthy emotional and spiritual sustainability really look like?

In this conversation, Mark Matlock—author, Insight Lead at Barna, and Executive Director of Urbana—helps us understand the shifts happening with today’s young adults. He shares how their imagination, honesty, and bold questions are shaping the future of missions, and what leaders can do to walk alongside them with wisdom and hope.

Whether you’re a young missionary yourself or mentoring the next generation, this episode will spark fresh insight into how Gen Z is changing the way we think about calling, leadership, and global missions.

  • The tough questions Gen Z is asking about missions and why they matter
  • How their imagination and creativity are reshaping global ministry
  • Why mental health and emotional honesty are becoming strengths on the field
  • Practical ways Gen Z can connect with supporters in their own style
