130 - A Movement for the Next Generation (Zauntee)

NRT Now Podcast

The magic formula for how to reach the next generation seems to be the most elusive item in the modern church. Every youth group and students ministry has had to struggle with how to best reach students. In modern times, it seems even more of a struggle as social media is ingrained in culture and there are so many voices and ideologies tugging at our young crowd. At 23 years old, Zauntee is working hard to reach his generation for Jesus. He shares his heart for reaching Gen Z and what makes this generation tick. Zauntee talks about how Gen Z wants to be a part of a movement and to be a part of something real... how they desire authenticity and consistency in how people talk about Jesus and live for them. He suggests that it's not complicated to say, but it can be tough to live out. Zauntee also shares stories about mentors in the music industry that have helped shape who he is as an artist. He talks about guys like Mark Hall (Casting Crowns) or Tauren Wells who have been consistent in the message they share on stage and the life they live when the lights go down.
