Unleash The Missional Power of the Next Generation

Welcome to Generation Next!

Because 34% of GenZ identify as atheist, agnostic, or nonreligious…

On this page you will find innovative ways to not only reach but also empower those that are coming behind you. At Leadership Network we focus on three main categories: Building the future, discipleship and calling.

The challenge is clear: Young people are drawing back from, if not running from church as their predecessors know it. In a day where the next generation sees the church as too judgmental, hypocritical, and more characterized by “moral failures” in leadership than healthy and growing examples of relevant faith, Generation Next is on mission.  

At Generation Next we pride ourselves on being the go-to resource to reach and lead emerging leaders. Below, you will find Articles, Live Interviews, Podcasts, Full Day Summit Experiences, Immersive Learning Communities and more.

  • FRESH STRATEGIES

    We reject the cliché of "we have never done it that way." Anything short of sin is on the table.

  • INNOVATIVE APPROACHES

    The next generation are the innovators! Deconstructing what isn't working and pushing hard to find what will.

  • COLLABORATION BETWEEN GENERATIONS

    Multi-generational learning is a lost art. Together we can learn from each other and lead by humility.

  • TIMELESS WISDOM

    Globally, the church has so much to offer us in the way of leadership. There are innovators on every continent. We're ready to listen.
