Discipling millenials

Millennials won't just take your word for it; they want to experience the gospel WITH YOU by the way YOU live it out. Listen to this T Time podcast to get some great strategies on engaging millennials with the gospel.

0:09 Twanna welcomes listeners to T Time and introduces special guest Yana Jenay Conner for this episode on discipling millennials. 

1:53 Yana opens up the conversation by defining discipleship and emphasizing the words "how-to" in the Great Commission, found in Matthew 28, which helps define what discipleship is. Discipleship is not just teaching people the commands of Christ, but it is teaching them how to obey the commands of Christ. 

7:17 Yana begins to explain the different approaches people have to make when discipling a millennial. 

10:20 Twanna asks Yana to share some of her thoughts on how the big C church can practically retain millennials. 

15:00 Yana shares a story about her experience with engaging in conversation with someone at a coffee shop and how her win was not getting the girl to accept Christ in her heart right there but to teach her a deeper understanding of walking with Christ. 

16:37 Twanna asks Yana how she sees Jesus engaging with people on a worldview level in the scriptures? 

21:34 Twanna emphasizes that for millennials the "why" is so important and when disciplining a millennial, it will all boil down to "why." 

29:20 Twanna asks Yana to share her thoughts on what are the two big life issues that the church needs to address to win and challenge this age group?

30:16 Yana explains that she believes every church should be clear on where it stands on issues of justice and equality and that the church should disciple this generation on those beliefs too as the world is struggling with loneliness. Churches should be teaching and making it possible for people to build friendships with one another, and not just through social media. 

33:55 Twanna asks Yana to close in prayer.
