Connecting generations when culture changes every 5 years

Culture shifts every five years, and the church often gets left behind.

Joel, Stu and Tim unpack what it looks like for churches to navigate generational change without culture shock. Using Stu’s recent Japan trip as a jumping-off point, they explore the idea of young people as “cultural hosts”, guides who help the broader church stay connected to a changing world without compromising the gospel.
