Grateful to sit down with Kirk Cameron on TBN’s show Takeaways. We talked about discipleship, not just as an idea or a program, but as a lifestyle we can walk out in everyday life.

There’s a stirring happening right now among young people. Revival is breaking out in hearts, and I believe God is calling us to match every spark of evangelism with the steady fire of discipleship.

If you’d like to see the full conversation, I’d be glad to send you the link. taken in TBN Studios by @grantskeldon

We need to get back to this.

@grantskeldon, our Next Gen director, spoke about what different generations really need from each other in this ever-changing culture, and invited the chronologically superior to believe God is bigger than the problems the next generation is facing. by @grantskeldon

Our Next Gen director Grant Skeldon offered some words of wisdom in his keynote:

“I’m not saying to to just ignore everything. I’m not talking about a blind optimism. I’m not saying put your head in the clouds. I’m not saying clench your head in the sand. I’m saying lift your head to the mountains, to where your help comes from, because your help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He is our hope, and He’s not gone, and He’s not finished with us yet.”

In this episode, Chichi and I sit down with pastor and author Tyler Staton to tackle a massive tension facing the next generation of leaders: the desire for worldly influence versus the call to a more private hiddenness and prayer.

When you’re young, you want to change the world, but it is easy to overestimate our own capacity and underestimate the slow, humble work of God.

Tyler opens up about his battle with advanced cancer, how suffering shifted his soul's perspective on ministry, and why true kingdom movement starts in the secret place, not on a platform.

Comment “EMOTION” to heard us dive into how young leaders can navigate the pressures of platform growth without losing their intimacy with Jesus, and what it looks like to honestly and regularly surrender our motives.

Chichi and I sat down with pastor and author Matt Chandler to unpack a massive shift happening in youth culture and what it really looks like to lead with prophetic clarity today. ⁠
⁠
Fresh off an incredible move of God at his church, Matt shares why Gen Z and Gen Alpha are craving raw confession and holy transcendence over more comfortable, "cool" churches. We dive into the reality of modern paganism rising in the suburbs, how to navigate the noise of online critics without losing your pastoral edge, and why true spiritual formation looks more like a slow-growing tree than a quick light switch. ⁠

We’ve all heard the lie that leadership is lonely, but does it have to be?⁠
⁠
In this episode, I sit down with author and visionary Jennie Allen to dismantle the myth that ministry requires isolation. As a generation of leaders often thrust into influence early, many of us have traded deep personal connection for artificial digital content. ⁠
⁠
Comment "KNOWN" to listen in as Jennie shares why the Western experiment in independence is failing and offers a practical framework to fight back—starting with her five-miles, five-friends rule.⁠
⁠
From navigating the complexities of couple friendships to the one question that makes anyone feel truly known, this conversation is a roadmap for any young leader ready to move past small talk and start building a ride-or-die community. It’s time to stop looking for a platform and start looking for your people. by @grantskeldon

I got to sit down with authors, teachers, and great friends Chichi and Tracy Onyekane to tackle a topic that many next-gen leaders and pastors completely avoid: end-times prophecy and eschatology. For a generation that has seen end-times teaching either overhyped with timeline dates or totally ignored out of fear, Chichi and Tracy want to offer a refreshing, biblical approach. ⁠
⁠
Comment "RETURN" to get the full breakdown of the biblical framework of Numbers 19, the mystery of the red heifer, and what it actually means to observe prophetic developments without losing our cultural sanity. If you're a young leader trying to figure out how to navigate the noise of the world and lead your people with urgency, discernment, and scriptural clarity, this conversation is a must-watch.⁠
⁠
⁠
In this conversation, we explore:⁠
⁠
✅ The Prophetic Domino: Why they believe the red heifer is a critical historical marker for the third temple and how it helps us understand the timeline of Scripture.⁠
✅ Jesus as the Final Sacrifice: Unpacking the distinction between modern Jewish rituals and standing firm on the complete, finished work of Christ on the cross.⁠
✅ Ditching the Fear of Revelation: How next-gen leaders can move past the intimidation of end-times theology towards the urgency of personal repentance and mission.⁠
✅ A Basic Roadmap for Big Topics: Why leadership requires us to stop ignoring the confusing parts of the Bible and instead start asking honest, foundational questions.⁠

Why are so many young leaders burning out, exhausted, and frankly, a little miserable? Comment "OCTANE" to get this episode sent to your DMs to find out.⁠
⁠
In this episode, @chichionyekanne and I sit down with pastor, mentor, and author rayortlund to uncover why next-gen Christians so easily fall into the trap of a grim, transactional "pay-as-you-go" faith.⁠
⁠
Ray breaks down why living with gusto and having a saintly blast isn't a compromise on holiness but rather biblical wisdom from Ecclesiastes, designed for longevity and resilience. If you've been slogging through ministry under the heavy weight of performance, this conversation is the perspective shift you need to find true rest in Christ's finished work.⁠
⁠
In this episode, we talk about:⁠
✅ Breaking free from the grim moralistic trap that makes some Christians miserable.⁠
✅ Why Jesus' call to "Come to me and rest" is a radical, punk-rock declaration.⁠
✅ Handling over-scheduling and learning when to say no to protect your family and health.⁠
✅ What it means to budget for sin when you are physically and spiritually depleted.⁠
✅ Ray's personal life goals for maintaining deep, 50-year friendships.⁠
✅ Letting go of your own self-importance and letting God make your life count.⁠
