EPISODE 25 Arrives right now! The boys are back to bring some great conversation to your eardrums and soul. Three pastors discussing and debating faith, relationships, pop culture, politics, ministry, food, entertainment, theology and much more Welcome to Post Christian Pastors! On this episode we go in search of a generation of spiritual exiles, nomads and prodigals. A generation of people that the church has largely LOST. Do you pastor, parent, mentor or work with the next generation? Are you a Millennial or Gen Y, Z'er or whatever? How do we reach them for Christ? How do we reach 18-29 year olds who have left the church or where never there in the first place? These are all questions that parents, pastors and other Christians are asking. The guys have a great conversation with one of the people in the country who has spent hours researching the data, and searching for answers. They welcome Mark Matlock to the podcast.
