Reaching & Empowering Gen Z: Faith, Challenges, and the Future of Ministry | HowToLife Panel

What does Gen Z really need from the church today?

In this conversation, Jordan Whitmer (CEO of HowToLife Movement), Nema (Kenya / California), Kayla (Toronto, Canada), Peace (London, UK), and Sverre (Bergen, Norway) reflect on what they are seeing among young believers around the world—and what older leaders need to understand about the next generation.

From prayer movements and student-led mission to authenticity, friendship, and intergenerational discipleship, this panel offers a hopeful look at how God is stirring Gen Z across diverse contexts. Rather than treating young people as a problem to solve, the conversation points toward a better way forward: showing up, listening well, and investing intentionally in the next generation as they follow Jesus.
