    The Gen Z Series: (11) How do I overcome church hurt and trust leaders again?

    What do you do when the people who taught you about Jesus let you down? In a generation that has watched spiritual leaders fall publicly and painfully, trust doesn’t come easily. Maybe you’ve asked, Is everyone in the church a hypocrite? Or maybe you’re carrying quiet church hurt and wondering if it’s even worth going back.   In this episode, we talk honestly about it and turn to Scripture to see what God actually says about flawed leaders, accountability, forgiveness, wisdom, and healing.   The Bible reminds us: The church has always been filled with imperfect people (Romans 3:23; Acts 6; Galatians 2). Leaders are held accountable (James 3:1; Ezekiel 34). Forgiveness is hard but healing (Colossians 3:13). Wisdom matters—sometimes you stay, sometimes you leave (James 1). And ultimately, our trust belongs in God, not in human leaders (Psalm 118:8).   If you’ve ever struggled to trust the church again, this conversation is for you.   Helpful Resources: Book: Fractured Faith Book: All Your Life   Watch the conversation on YouTube here.

    The Gen Z Series: (10) Do I really need the church to follow Jesus?

    “Do I actually need church to follow Jesus… or can I just do faith on my own?” It’s one of the most honest, and most common, questions Gen Z is asking right now. Maybe you’ve been hurt by church. Maybe it feels irrelevant. Maybe online sermons feel easier. Or maybe you just wonder, Is showing up even necessary? If you love Jesus but feel unsure about the church, you’re not alone. In this episode, my cohost and I open the Bible and look at what Jesus actually says about His plan for the church, and why faith was never meant to be lived alone. We talk about the purpose of Christian community, what the church is supposed to look like (and what it’s not), and how to take a next step toward healing and finding a healthy church home. If you’ve ever wrestled with church, felt disappointed, or wondered where you belong, this conversation is for you. Let’s figure it out together. Preorder my book All Your Life here.

    The Gen Z Series: (9) What is spiritual warfare and how does it affect me?

    You’ve probably heard the phrase spiritual warfare before, but what does it really mean, and how does it actually show up in your life? Because it’s not usually dramatic or obvious. More often, it looks like the quiet battles you fight every day—your thoughts, your temptations, your doubts, your identity, and the mental pressure you can’t always explain. In this episode, we break it down in a simple, practical way. We talk about what the Bible really says about spiritual warfare, how the enemy attacks, and how to stand firm using prayer, truth, and God’s Word. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or spiritually worn down, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening and show you how to fight from victory, not fear. -- Preorder my book All Your Life here.

    The Gen Z Series: (8) Why do I overthink everything?

    Do you ever feel like you can’t shut off the voice in your head? In this episode, we talk honestly about overthinking, anxiety, and the constant mental noise so many of us live with. We explore what the Bible actually says about your thought life—how your mind can be renewed, trained, and led by the Spirit rather than controlled by fear, lies, or emotions. You’ll learn why your thoughts matter, how Scripture calls us to take them captive, and what it looks like to replace lies with truth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your thoughts and wondered if real peace is possible, this episode is for you.   Resources mentioned on this podcast: Pre-order my upcoming book now: All Your Life Sing daily with The Worship Initiative Want to watch this conversation?

    The Gen Z Series: (7) How do I overcome anxiety and find peace?

    Gen Z has often been called the anxious generation. But why is anxiety so widespread, and what can actually be done about it? In this episode, I sit down with my Gen Z co-host for an honest and thoughtful conversation about anxiety. We talk about what’s contributing to it, what young people are most anxious about today, and how constant pressure, uncertainty, and comparison are shaping this generation’s inner world. Most importantly, we turn to what God’s Word has to say about anxiety and peace. How can we experience peace in the middle of real-life worries, not just in theory? This episode is practical, compassionate, and grounded in Scripture. Whether you personally wrestle with anxiety, love someone who does, or want to better understand the challenges Gen Z is facing, this conversation offers insight, hope, and direction.   Resources mentioned on this podcast: 1.

    The Gen Z Series: (6) Why don’t I enjoy reading my Bible more?

    If you’re honest, you might feel a little guilty admitting this, but you’re not alone. Many Gen Zers want to love the Bible, believe it matters, and yet struggle to actually enjoy reading it. Why does something that’s supposed to bring life sometimes feel boring, confusing, or like a chore? In this episode, we talk honestly about the tension between knowing the Bible is important and wanting to open it. We explore what Scripture actually says about God’s Word—not as a rulebook, but as the primary way God speaks, shapes us, and invites us into His presence. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or frustrated with Bible reading, this episode is for you. Let’s move past guilt and toward a deeper, more life-giving relationship with God through His Word.   Helpful tools mentioned in this podcast: 1.

    The Gen Z Series: (4) “Christmas is the best and worst time of the year”

    For many of us, Christmas is filled with joy, memories, and traditions, but also stress, loneliness, and the pressure to look happy on social media In this episode, we talk honestly about why Christmas can feel both life-giving and draining and wrestle with the questions Gen Z is really asking: How do you represent Christ in family dynamics that are complicated or even painful? What do you do when the holiday blues hit hard? How do you make this holiday less about the business of Christmas and more about the person of Christmas? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or conflicted during the holidays, this conversation is for you.   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and the founder of Living With Power Ministries.
