Speaking across generations in the church is a challenge for many church leaders.
Different generations have different ways of communicating. In fact, it's not even just that they use different words or phrases—it's more about how they understand the world around them.
So, how do you reach such a diverse audience?
How can you convey your message in a way that resonates with everyone?
If you want to speak across generations, you need to understand their mindset, values, and interests so that you can speak their language.
No matter what generation you are speaking to—Gen Z, Millennials, Gen Xers, Boomers—there are certain things you can do to better connect with them on a deeper level.
All you need is some insight into the mindsets of each generation, as well as some practical tips for bringing those mindsets into your ministry practices.
With the help of our guest, Dr. Darrell Hall, we'll unpack how each generation thinks differently and how you can use that knowledge to create an environment where all generations feel welcome, included, and valued.
Dr. Darrell has authored a book titled Speaking Across Generation. So, it's a real treat to hear some insights from his research and experience on this subject.
"Whatever generation you're in, see yourself as a missionary to the generation you want to reach."
-Dr.Darrell Hall
It is important to remember that generational gaps should not prevent us from reaching out to people. After all, Jesus' message of love and acceptance transcends all generational divides.
If you want to learn how to create a culture that engages all generations in your church, this episode will greatly benefit you.
By the end of this episode, you will learn:
- What communication approach will work with each generation
- How to bridge the generational gap in your church
- Why understanding generational differences matters
