77 - Next Gen Series: Reaching the Next Generation with Dr. Kara Powell

Are we doing enough to invest in and support the next generation's faith journey? Dr. Kara Powell, a passionate advocate for young people, joins us in this episode to discuss the state of the American church and how it affects young people aged 13 to 29. Together, we explore the challenges they face - anxiety, adaptability, and diversity - and the importance of building relationships with them to create a lasting impact on both the church and the world.

We dive deeper into the three pivotal questions that define today's teenagers - identity, belonging, and purpose - and how understanding these questions can help us better empathize and guide them on their journey with Jesus. Dr. Powell shares her thoughts on discipling young people for faith formation and the role of faith leaders, parents, and grandparents in shaping their faith. We also explore the 10 by 10 campaign, a national program aiming to make faith matter more for 10 million teenagers in the next 10 years, as well as the importance of intergenerational support in the church.

Don't miss this compelling conversation with Dr. Kara Powell, and learn how you can invest in the next generation's spiritual growth and well-being. By doing so, we can create a brighter future for both the church and the world at large.
