Why Your Church is Losing the Next Generation | The Truth

The next generation is the future of the church." We’ve all said it. But what if that phrase is exactly why they’re leaving?In this episode, I break down the "Generational Wall", the invisible barriers of comfort, tradition, and "reserved seats" that are pushing young people away. From the "Baseball Cap Scandal" to remembering a name, we explore why Gen Z isn't looking for a perfect production, they're looking for a place where they can keep the hat on until they feel safe enough to be known.It’s time to move beyond the numbers and start building a church that prioritizes connection over comfort.Join the community: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthenumberspc/Watch Part 2 (The Death of the Stage): Coming SoonVideo Chapters0:00 The "Future Church" Fallacy1:25 Why We Are Already Losing Them3:10 Connection vs. Comfort: The "That’s My Seat" Trap5:22 The Baseball Cap: Heart vs. Appearance7:45 Following the Jesus Model (Removing Barriers)9:30 4 Steps to Close the Generational Gap12:15 Do I Matter Here?
