In this episode of the ChurchCandy podcast, Brady sits down with Jacob Salguero — founder of Tomorrow Creative and a leading voice helping churches reach the next generation. Jacob unpacks why Gen Z is engaging with faith in surprising ways, the rise of Christian creators on social media, and how authenticity (not production) is the key to connecting with this generation.
Together, Brady and Jacob dive into the differences between millennial and Gen Z church culture, why rebellion looks like following Jesus, and how churches can use creativity and digital strategy to disciple effectively. They also tackle cringey church trends, the role of social media in evangelism, and the future of church services for young people.
This conversation is packed with insights and practical strategies for pastors and church leaders who want to connect with Gen Z without being cringe.
