In the second episode of our series inspired by Carey Nieuwhof’s 5 Disruptive Church Trends That Will Rule 2025, we dive into the dynamic and often paradoxical relationship Gen Z has with faith and the church. Are they in revival or retreat? And how can the United Methodist Church respond? Host Rev. Daniel Hawkins sits down with Rev. Chelsea Peddecord and Loni Fancher to explore how Gen Z is reshaping spirituality, embracing holistic faith and pushing for authentic, justice-driven discipleship. They discuss the challenges churches face in engaging this passionate generation and how embracing change—rather than resisting it—can lead to a thriving future. Join us as we explore what it means to create space at the table for Gen Z and why their fire for faith may be just what the church needs most. https://careynieuwhof.com/church-trends-2025/
