CML: Understanding GenZ

This is a Peer2Peer virtual event for Church Mission Leaders

Description:

Michael Van Huis and Carlos Negrón of Missio Nexus will be joined by their special guest Tanner Callison of The Travelling Team.  Tanner will be interacting with us on the topic of Generation Z.  Tanner recently wrote a book titled: Gen Z Misunderstood: Changing the Narrative on Today’s Misfits and Dreamers.

As we speak with Church Mission Leaders across the continent, denominations, cultures, etc., one thing continues to come up; What do we do about our young people? How do we engage and inspire this new generation (Gen Z) to love the Lord and be passionate about global missions? Tanner has written a book for those who seek answers to these and other questions about Gen Z. Gen Z Misunderstood seeks to bridge the gap between you and Gen Z! Through years of experience with Gen Z, Tanner Callison seeks to challenge you to think differently and reprioritize your ministry efforts among this promising generation. We need to understand the story of Gen Z so we may invite them to a better story—God’s story.
