The Approach

This is The Approach, where we help you walk with the next generation as they seek to use their gifts, talents, and experience to journey with Jesus and participate in the Great Commission. On this micro-cast we want to give you a snapshot of the next generation, provide you with tools to disciple, empower and pray for the next generation whether you’re a parent, teacher, coach, mentor, or friend. Each episode, we’ll cover a topic, a quick fact about Gen Z, or you might’ve heard them referred to as Gen Zed, read a verse to mediate and pray on, and then we’ll bring a guest on who will pray with and for the next generation. The Approach is World Gospel Mission's (WGM) microcast. Join us as we approach God in prayer to see an awakening in the next generation.

    A Worried Generation (Part 2)

    Walking with our kids, grandkids, students, or athletes requires the ability to step into their lives. When our teens find themselves without hope, we want to judge their situation through our adult eyes. Instead, what if we remembered the times where we, too, felt that all hope was lost and used those instances to help us show them the hope we found in God? On this episode of The Approach, we’ll look back on our own lives and think about the mountains God has moved and how we can best support our Gen Zers as they go through their own hardships.

    A Worried Generation (Part 1)

    Worry and anxiety seem to be topics we’re all familiar with. But why are we so worried? Why are our kids so worried? Join Connor and John on today’s episode as we talk through the factors playing into this generation’s levels of worry. We’ll also be joined by Jace Martin, a WGM employee who coaches varsity girls’ basketball, as he prays over the next generation and all of us who walk through life’s ups and downs with them.

    The Hurried Pace Of Life (Part 2)

    Is our hurried nature causing us to miss the people around us? If so, how can we change the posture of our hearts so that we begin to see others and recognize their needs? On this episode of The Approach, we’re going to invite God to show us some ways that we are keeping ourselves busy and how we can make more room for Him. We’ll also think about the people He has placed in our lives and how we can pray for them.

    The Hurried Pace Of Life (Part 1)

    A typical answer given when someone is asked how they’re doing is, “Busy.” It seems that we are running at an unsustainable pace, leaving our tanks on empty. While this is a reality for most people, for Gen Z, it is the context they have grown up in and they often know nothing different. On today’s episode, we’ll talk about why we find ourselves in such a hurried pace of life, what that does to our spiritual journeys, and what are some ways we might find a more sustainable and life-giving pace as we walk with the next generation.

    Engaging Gen Z with the Great Commission (Bonus Episode with Dave Jacob)

    How do you share the Great Commission with a generation that is largely unfamiliar with it? It takes intentionality, exposure, and prayer.

    Holiness For The Next Generation (Part 2)

    Is leading your family part of the Great Commission? Absolutely! It’s making disciples right where you live, and we get to do that each day when we lead our families well. Today on The Approach, we’ll go over how dynamics have changed over the last several decades, and the ripple effects these changes are having. We’ll discuss how families have changed in the past, what they look like today, and the family that Jesus is creating right now, here on earth.

    Holiness For Next Gen with Connor Owen (Bonus Episode)

    What does holiness look like? And how do we communicate that to the next generation? At WGM, one of our core values is holiness. But the problem is, we—you, me, the church—don’t know how to communicate it very well to the next generation. Some of the language we use is dated and hard to understand, and at times, the next generation doesn’t see us living out holy lives. Today, we’ll listen to a chapel service that Connor Owen spoke at a few months ago where he talked about what holiness could look like in the next generation.

    The Value Of Intentional Parenting (Part 2)

    Part of living like Jesus is being fully present with others. But are we doing this well? And if not, how can we? On today’s episode of The Approach, we’ll discuss and pray about how we can be intentional and present in our parenting and in our walk with the next generation.
