Doubt, Wonder, and Curiosity: Allowing Gen Z to Contribute to the Church with Hannah Gronowski

The City Network Podcast

"I am so excited about the kind of church Gen Z will lead us into if we let them," says Hannah in her conversation with Josh and Robert. They chat about Hannah's journey to starting the nonprofit Generation Distinct, pouring into the next generation through multiplication in the way of Jesus, discipleship, and the future of the Church. Hannah emphasizes the importance of asking Gen Z questions, leaving them room to doubt, inviting them into rooms where their leadership is necessary and welcomed, and cultivating a spirit of curiosity by engaging with them in the conversations they are already having.

Soul Care Summit

This year's Soul Care Prayer Summit is happening April 22-24 up at Quaker Hill in McCall. The Summit is for men and women who serve as leaders and missionaries in the Treasure Valley. This is a space created for you as a visionary leader to hear from God and care for your soul–and it's not just for pastors. It's for anyone who has a vision for kingdom transformation in their sphere of influence. We want to create a space for you and your spouse to pray over that, and to pray for our valley together as a unified church trying to reach our communities with the gospel. We're also helping with childcare this year, so let us know on the registration form if that's a need for your family. Go to www.thecitynetwork.org/soulcare to register!
