Pastors often ask us what they need to do to reach Millennials, Gen Z, and younger generations. On today's episode, Thom and Sam talk to Esteban Shedd and Loren La Luz from Streetlights about the Streetlights New Testament and why it’s important to find new ways to help the younger generation connect to God’s Word and the Church.

What is Streetlights?

Why did you start this ministry and what is happening now?

We are seeing younger people leaving the church. Why do you feel that’s happening?

Tell us about your audio Bible and why you chose the New Living Translation.
