Transformed & Transformational138: Faith, Missions, and Gen Z (with Dr. Allen Yeh)Dr. Allen Yeh shares about generational distinctives and provides perspective on how this impacts views on faith, values, church, and global missions.

"With Gen Zers, it's harder to reach them with the institutional church. It's not necessarily that they are less interested in Christianity; it's just that the traditional methods don't work as well."

The Jewish people believed in a bodily, physical, eternal life of resurrected and restored bodies in a New Heavens and New Earth. But even amongst themselves there was disagreement about this. There was a group called the Sadducees, who apparently thought the idea of bodily resurrection too radical to believe, and in today’s passage we meet them. They have joined in the effo...
