In this episode, we talk to 18-year-old Ian Martin, the founder of GZT (Gen Z Translations), a popular social media account that aims to share scripture in a modern and accessible way. Ian shares his story of how he got involved in November 2021, and how he has been running the account full-time since Summer 2022. He also talks about the importance of putting scripture first and foremost in the posts, and how they use modern trends and language to capture the essence of the scripture.
Key Takeaways:
- The main purpose of the GZT account is to get scripture in front of people daily and have it on their minds and hearts.
- The GZT team regularly receives DMs from people with suggestions and appreciation for the content.
- Ian believes that true freedom is found within the boundaries of what God has for us, and that God's love for us is fully purposed in enjoying Him and living out his will for our lives.
- Ian thinks it would be amazing for Gen Z to have a very public presence for Jesus, showing how much we love Him and sharing Christ.
- He also believes that Gen Z needs to be more involved in the church because a lot of what we see culturally leads to the belief that Gen Z does not care about Jesus
