The Passion Generation: The Seemingly Reckless, Definitely Disruptive, but Far From Hopeless Millennials
(Zondervan, 2018)

WHO: Grant Skeldon, founder of Initiative Network.

HE SAYS: “The church has called millennials to join the church. Millennials, however, want to be the church.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book offers methods readers can use to understand not only what millennials are doing but why they are doing it and how we all can more toward healthy community.

THE PROGRESSION:
Part 1, “Discipling Millennials,” examines who millennials are, what they want and how the church can relate to them. Part 2, “What Millennials Look for in Church,” discusses why millennials support causes and not the church, and what they are looking for in relating to the church.

“The gospel moves at the speed of relationships.”

The Strengths of Smaller Healthy Churches

Small churches can create a family environment for disconnected people if they lean into the built-in intimacy they already have.

Dave Ferguson: Multiplying Leaders

Every leader needs to have an apprentice. Even the lead pastor, as you're thinking about what's next, you need to have an apprentice so you can put that person in that role and you can commission them to go.
