MINISTERING TO MILLENNIALS
MINISTERING TO MILLENNIALS Now that we understand the basic concepts of how the millennial mind thinks about, we now go deeper into their priorities and how they handle day to day events. Going digital is a must for almost all millennials. Churches have often made this their first step in appealing to Millennials, but they do it for the wrong reason. Going digital isn’t about relevance; it’s about accessibility. It would have been absurd in the 20th century to avoid the telephone as a means of communication and organization, yet many churches struggle sometimes to understand that the same thing …
THE PROBLEM IN THE 21ST CENTURY PROPHETIC CHURCH IS IN THE HOME
THE PROBLEM According to an expert, the church’s problem is that evangelicals rely too much on rational, left-brained thinking that usually stems from a previous frame that they inherited from enlightenment. It is because mainly, we are beholden to the enlightenment frame. The church was known to be biased against the imagination. Thomas Nelson described it as if we are imprisoned in a “hall of mirrors, that is trapped in abstractions of their own making, [wherein one is] unable to comprehend or connect with actual embodied reality.” To reach millennials today, the church needs to emphasize lived experience, not dogmas …
NEW WINESKIN AND THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION
NEW WINESKIN AND THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION No old road leads to new destinations! Change begins when one realizes that it is unwise to pour a new wine into an old wine skin. If you change your mind, you have to change your actions too!

Mark 2:22 NRSV We mentioned that while the Millennial generation is less churched than most generations, the data has shown …
MILLENNIALS AND RELIGION
MILLENNIALS AND RELIGION Millennials and religion is a topic worth exploring. It is commonly said that the youth – also primarily referred to by the term ‘Millennials’ – are the future of the church. It has also been said that the youth are not just its future but its present. They are at the very core of the church and its current vibrancy. Christian Post reporter Kevin Porter recently posed the question: ‘Can a church survive without young people?’ Porter notes that Millennials comprise 20% of the entire U.S. population with 83 million people — even more than Baby Boomers. …
INSPIRATION IS IMPORTANT TO MILLENNIALS
Inspiration Is Important To Millennials Inspiration is important to millennials. This is a revolutionary shift from the traditional sense of on-the-job training. Training no longer exists solely to meet compliance or company-mandated policies. The best training program today is a rich learning experience that taps into employee interests, passions, and career goals. More so than previous generations, millennials place great importance on social causes and sense of purpose – and they define that purpose two-fold. The first is self-purpose; how do they fit into the organizational puzzle? How is their work relevant? Does anybody care? Be transparent about how personal …
