America’s next generation, Gen Z, is starting to influence and shape the church. Today, we look at five specific characteristics of this generation and how they are influencing the church.

Some highlights from today’s episode include:

  • When you talk about generations, you have to use generalizations.
  • The best time to reach Gen Z with the gospel is now.
  • If your church is not involved in the digital community, Gen Z will probably not know you exist.
  • Gen Z does understand nor do they tolerate worship wars.

The five characteristics we discuss are:

  1. They may be more receptive to the gospel.
  2. They continue to seek digital community.
  3. They have never considered worship wars.
  4. They will give us new paradigms of church.
  5. They are service oriented.

In Northern Nigeria, Muslims and Christians Take Small Steps Toward Reconciliation


(RNS) KAMPALA, Uganda — Recently, a group of Muslims visited Christian widows and orphans in northwestern Nigeria and donated food, clothing and school items as part of efforts to enhance peaceful coexistence among different faiths.

She accused the majority Hausa-Fulani tribe, who are predominantly Muslim and herders of cattle, for brutally murdering her husband.


“I had vowed never to forgive them,” she said. “They wanted to finish us (non-Muslim) during elections so that their people can ascend to power, but God protected his people.”


There has been constant conflict in northern Nigeria for decades, pitting the majority Muslim population against the minority Christian population.


In Kaduna state, the Hausa-Fulani tribe makes up 60% of the population, and the non-Muslim minorities who are mainly farmers make up the remaining 40%.


The minority Christian populations have for decades accused…
