Gen Z and Gen Alpha definitely experience the world in ways that are foreign to some of us adults, and we need to understand where they are coming from in order to lead them well.

Whether it's faith, relationships, cultural issues, or personal struggles, the reality is that adolescents are constantly navigating uncertainty and seeking answers.

Relationships really are at the center of all of our lives, and we need to do everything we can to build and maintain healthy connections and bonds. As ministry leaders, we need to focus on the relationships in our lives (starting with our relationship with God) and encourage the families in our church to constantly be working on the relationships they have.2025-02-0139 minMinistry to Parents Podcast#087: Prioritizing FaithThis month, Sass, Amy, and Chris dive into the reality of how easy it is for leaders and parents to get swept up in the busyness of life, often sidelining their faith in the process.
