Public Affairs Director Jon Michaels (since 1977) talks about a Christian revival in Sioux Falls with the younger generation "Z" with Z8 Coordinator Maddy Schneider, Z8 Educator/Director Mady Theisen and Lifelight CEO Josh Brewer. Erica Kirk clips from Fox News.

From the Lifelight website:

What is z8?

At LifeLight, we believe Generation Z doesn’t just have an 8-second attention span; they have an 8-second filter—searching for truth, purpose, and love. In that short window, we have the opportunity to introduce them to the life-transforming love of Jesus Christ.

Why Generation Z?

Generation Z is on track to become the largest living generation in American history. Although many consider them a post-Christian generation, we see them differently. Z8 is on a mission to awaken these young people as world changers—to win, send, empower, and multiply them for Christ.

Our Mission

The Z8 Initiative is a LifeLight ministry dedicated to inspiring and motivating young people through Gospel-centered events and worship. We bring together youth and young adults, across denominational lines, to experience Jesus in real and relevant ways. Whether they’re believers or searching for answers, we provide a place where Gen Z can gather and connect.

Our vision

Z8 is not just about events—it’s about launching a movement. Our goal is to awaken, empower, and multiply a generation that will make Jesus known in their homes, schools, and communities.
