257: Dear Church, Love Gen Z — Dear Church, We Can Spot Fake

Now more than ever, people have grown up displaying certain parts of their lives online, consuming content from influencers across the world, and sharing meticulously curated posts that present only the best parts of themselves. Unfortunately, the Church has been known to get caught up in manufacturing its own image as well. Pastor Adam and special guest Olivea Cook point out the irony of Gen Z—a generation that values expressiveness and authenticity, yet is also known for hiding elements of their lives they don't want others to see. The conversation shifts to the importance of the Church being led by people of integrity so that younger generations have role models they know they can trust. *Scripture referenced in this episode: Matthew 23:25-28
