With the word "intergenerational" being used more and more in the hopes and hunger of the church, we wanted to talk about what this really looks like in practice.

Rich Wilson, leader of Fusion Movement, has been doing a lot of living, thinking, and writing about Spiritual Parenting, and what participating in God's family, across generations, can really mean.

The team sat down for a brilliant conversation with Josh Williams, a pastor, national leader and passionate disciple of Jesus. Josh has so many experiences and insights to share about being an Ivy league student, reaching Ivy league schools, and pastoring a local church that connects with the Ivy League campus on their doorstep. You'll find as you listen however, that Josh has vision and values applicable to all of us whether we are in the Ivy league swirl or not. Enjoy!

As finals, deadlines and end of year events get closer on the horizon, so can feelings of overwhelm and anxiety for our college students. We've called in seasoned college pastors Katy and Kendall McKee to explore how to lead our students through these seasons with more health and resilience. April really starts to intensify for our students so we hope this episode hits ahead of that time!

The team also share hard won lessons around boundaries, burn out, and setting a different culture in our churches and discipleship in order to all live and set an example that speaks of good news.

This conversation is all about reigniting the call upon us all to participate in God's mission to love and rescue the world, and to find new hope and passion for evangelism.

Shook and Miriam get to chat with Zach and Jess about how we can all do evangelism, how this can reframe and refresh churches and how college students are being awakened to Jesus' way of walking on mission in every day life.

One of the biggest sources of encouragement we've been getting from the church in Europe, has been the increase in unity especially through prayer, and within emerging generations. Fusion has a recent and powerful story of breakthrough in UK-wide unity and the explosion of united prayer events with university students across the land.

In this episode, you can hear the stories of church unity for the sake of college student mission from leading voices in England & Wales and Scotland. The team also gathers some practical next steps for those of us in the US church who want to see greater unity and partnership across believers in the States too.

This week we hear from Meg, the co-senior pastor of University Christian Church, Cincinnati. As you might be able to guess from the church's name, this community was planted decades ago to love, reach and disciple the university populations surrounding them, growing into an intergenerational church family as they go.

Meg stepped into leading the church about five years ago and has lots of wisdom and learning to share with us as she grapples with reaching the next generation on their doorstep. You can check out the church, and follow Meg, at the links below:
