    • Preparing for Gen Alpha, Discipling Digital Natives, & Quiet Revival in Youth Ministry
      Feb 4 2026

      In this episode, we sit down with Sam McCollough from Feed.Bible to explore hopeful trends in youth ministry and equip next generation leaders to guide students toward lasting faith. We unpack what it means to be “emerging committed,” identify markers of spiritual formation, and share strategies for discipling students in a world shaped by AI and digital culture.

      Discover how to close the gap between nominal faith and resilient belief through authentic youth discipleship, including:

      • Trends in Gen Z engagement and the quiet revival
      • Understanding Gen Alpha as digital natives navigating an AI-driven world
      • Defining and spotting emerging committed Christians
      • The 65% Christian claim vs. the 16% committed core
      • Practical ways for next generation leaders to move students from nominal to resilient faith
      • Using AI as a tool for growth, not a replacement for pastoral responsibility
      • Modeling wise tech use for students and parents
      • Concrete next steps for sermons, small groups, and leader training

      Whether you lead a youth ministry, mentor student leaders, or are passionate about spiritual formation, this episode with Sam McCollough equips you with insights and strategies to disciple the next generation with wisdom and courage.
