Leading Gen Z: How They Think and Why It Matters
Young people continue to consent to and even affirm culturally acceptable sin. Sometimes we think, “My kids will never get tangled up in the LGBTQ+ and social justice movements.” But do we understand the next generation enough to know how to protect them? In this talk, we will discover the root of the thought process through history that has groomed Gen Z into being a lost generation. We will discuss the biblical principles to help us as we educate, train, and prepare this generation for a world that hates God.
