In this episode, Pastor Tim Ahlman talks with Lutheran educator Chad Janetzke about what today’s students are really searching for spiritually. After nearly 20 years teaching theology at a Lutheran high school, Chad shares what he’s seeing firsthand from Gen Z: a deep hunger for authenticity, meaningful relationships, and a faith that speaks to real life. 

They discuss the biggest cultural questions students are asking today—including mental health, identity, politics, and relationships—and how the Church can faithfully respond with both truth and compassion.

You’ll also learn a simple four-question framework Chad teaches his students to help them read the Bible and discover Christ throughout Scripture.

If you’re a parent, pastor, teacher, or church leader wondering how to reach the next generation, this conversation is packed with insight and encouragement.
