    Can Lutheranism Win Back Gen Z? | Samuel Aizenberg #69

    In this episode of Lift High the Cross, host Ray Sexton sits down with Pastor Samuel Aizenberg to discuss the future of Lutheranism and the challenge of reaching the next generation. Why aren’t more Gen Z men and young adults converting to Lutheranism, and what makes the Lutheran faith attractive to those who discover it? They also discuss why many young Lutherans leave the church after confirmation and whether churches are doing enough to prepare young Christians for a lifetime of faith. Who is primarily responsible for catechizing children—the pastor, the parents, or both? And should the LCMS make significant changes in how it educates and disciples the next generation?
