In this ATC Episode:
• What does it mean to reintroduce the real Jesus to a generation navigating a whirlwind of cultural shifts? Join us as we sit down with Shane Pruitt, the National Next Gen Director for NAMM, who shares his impactful journey of writing "Revival Generation," a Bible study resonating deeply within student and college ministries across the nation. Shane opens up about his family's heart-wrenching loss of their 10-year-old son, Titus, and how they're finding strength and grace through their faith. His raw honesty and profound insights offer a heartfelt look into spiritual resilience and the healing power of faith.
• Our conversation with Shane delves into the evolving perceptions of Jesus and the Bible among today’s youth. It's fascinating to hear how a consistent message over two decades suddenly feels more radical to this generation. We explore the societal trend of embracing Jesus but sidelining the Bible, and the dangers of crafting a culturally influenced image of Jesus.
• Shane emphasizes the necessity for churches to reengage in critical cultural conversations with scriptural truth, especially on topics like sexuality and gender, to present an unfiltered, authentic Jesus to the world.
• Shane highlights the need to balance truth with love, ensuring a compassionate yet firm approach to biblical teachings. We also touch upon the delicate dance between understanding and living out God's Word through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This episode is a call to embrace humility, seek truth together, and foster unity within our diverse faith communities, making it a must-listen for anyone invested in the spiritual growth of the next generation.
