Everyone is talking about slowing down, slow food, a slow life. I have friends who host the “Slow Theology” podcast. But is going slow the best to understand the SOUL? (What does that even mean?)Recently, people like Jim Wilder have been specifically accused to talking too much about the brain, and not even about the soul. So much so that some believe Jim doesn't even believe in the soul.(And Jim is a speaker at the Attaching to God Summit, talking about "Empathy, Enemy Mode, and Engaging Gen Z"...so register for free).  We have a long conversation, attempting to set the record straight about an overly philosophical-cognitivist view of the soul (the slow soul), and how that view needs to catch up to all the really fast things God has enabled us to do—brain, body, and soul. We also talk about how broad and wide the field of neuroscience is, the streams that we pull from (which aren't nearly as reductionistic as some), and how the Bible uses many terms to discuss the spiritual part of us.Resources: Check Jim's New Growing a More Human Community (3-book series)Growing Me: Becoming a ChildGrowing Us: Becoming an AdultGrowing We the PeopleFREE Attaching to God SummitBuilding Emotional & Spiritual Health by Attaching to God: Register Free NOWStay Connected: NEED spiritual direction or coaching that aligns with this podcast?

Together, they dive deep into the topic of Gen Z and their relationship with faith, particularly focusing on deconstruction and reconstruction of beliefs. Reagan highlights alarming statistics pointing to Gen Z as the least religious generation in American history. She references Ryan Burge's research, showing a significant increase in the number of millennials and Gen Z individuals with zero religious affiliation. Bailey and Reagan discuss these trends and the potential reasons behind them, such as less parental influence on religious upbringing. The conversation covers the concept of deconstruction, contrasting its healthy and harmful forms. Reagan explains how Jesus exemplified healthy deconstruction by confronting the false teachings and hypocrisy of religious leaders. In contrast, Reagan and Bailey discuss the modern trend of deconstruction, where individuals systematically dismantle and often reject their faith due to various reasons, including church hurt. Bailey brings in insights from Lisa Childers, who defines deconstruction as a popular trend among millennial and Gen Z Christians. They also touch on how celebrities openly share their deconstruction journeys, influencing their young followers' faith decisions. Reagan emphasizes the crucial role of church leaders in supporting and guiding Gen Z through these processes, rather than just attacking them. Reagan shares personal anecdotes about the importance of church community and mentorship in her faith journey. She recounts how church leaders, including her parents and student ministry leaders, have been foundational in her spiritual growth. This leads to a discussion on the importance of discipleship and being actively involved in a local church, both for personal growth and to foster a supportive faith community for Gen Z. Reagan and Bailey stress that students need consistent biblical study and community involvement to thrive spiritually. Reagan talks about her church's emphasis on discipleship, mentioning their multi-generational vision and various ministries that cater to different age groups. Bailey adds examples of how older generations in the church mentor younger members, creating a nurturing environment for spiritual growth. They also address the challenges and misconceptions about student ministry, highlighting the importance of building authentic relationships with students. Both Reagan and Bailey believe that genuine discipleship involves walking with students through their spiritual journeys, providing guidance and support along the way. Wrapping up the episode, Reagan discusses the powerful impact of prayer and how it can transform lives. Bailey closes with a heartfelt prayer for Gen Z, asking for God's guidance and blessing over them. She prays for leaders to be equipped to steward these young hearts well, fostering safe spaces for meaningful conversations and growth. Tune in to this insightful episode to understand more about the spiritual dynamics affecting Gen Z and how to approach the topics of deconstruction and reconstruction of faith.

Associations need to be able to draw in each new generation (both as members and staff) to continue grow and thrive. As Gen Z enters the workforce, how should associations adapt in order to demonstrate their relevance? Our guest this episode is Hanna Holman, a 2021 graduate with a BA in strategic communication journalism. She was a project manager with Mountain Tennessee Outreach Project, a group working to alleviate substandard housing in rural Appalachia, and is now the membership assistant at Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research, a non-profit dedicated to advancing ethical research. There, she handles member recruitment and retention, produces member content, and serves as a primary point of contact for PRIM&R's members. The episode covers: Ideas for associations looking to engage the next generation of members and staff, and to adapt to a changing world. Gen Z's key considerations when looking for professional roles and employment? Why Gen Z might be less likely to make work their passion and focus of their life than previous generations. Accounting for changes in work and learning expectations. Thinking beyond email and appearing in Gen Z's lives more creatively. Reducing the barriers to information and engagement. Avoiding the damage outdated systems can do when you're trying to appeal to Gen Z. Listening to younger staff members for a strategic advantage. Are younger generations even interested in joining associations? Do they even know about them? Leveraging FOMO. The power of candid, casual conversations (and not being afraid of them) Keep exploring this topic during Higher Logic's free webinar on March 21, Attracting and Retaining the Next Generation of Association Members and Staff. During the webinar, a panel of association professionals will discuss: Considerations for your technological infrastructure Ideas for cultivating a flexible work and learning environment  Strategies for supporting members' and staff's professional growth  And more!

Group officer Masahiko Nakasuji talks about customer engagement, in-store events and sustainability

According to Dr. Josh Packard, “Gen Z is the most unique generation that has ever existed, and earning their trust requires that you do things more differently than ever.” Anyone with personal experience with members of this generation (including parents of Gen Z kids) are likely to agree. Josh has spent the better part of two decades devoting his time, effort, and research into better understanding how this new generation is making meaning in their lives. He is the former executive director of the Springtide Research Institute, and is now an independent consultant helping faith-based and mission-driven organizations engage and connect with Gen Z to create belonging, build loyalty and discover purpose and meaning.  Josh brings a wealth of knowledge, corroborated by years of research, to this conversation. He will ask you to consider new ways of thinking of, being with, and accepting Gen Z. And these new questions and approaches might just be the key to connecting with someone of that age in your life.

In this episode, I look at a great example of content marketing from the education marketing world. I flick through the University of Plymouth's Student Life Magazine that I received in the post recently. Employers, particularly in the apprenticeship and graduate space, can take great inspiration from this.  Universities recruiting students is big business: Big-ticket products (annual cost of student life starts at around £9,000) are marketing in an ultra-competitive national and international market.  In April 2019, The Guardian found university marketing budgets in the hundreds of thousands to millions of pounds. The cost of not recruiting enough students has a very clear cost to universities. The same should be said of not recruiting enough of the right employees.  If you were to take the same approach as Student Life for your apprenticeship or graduate marketing what would it look like (online and offline)? I'd love to hear from you.  Here are links to things I talk about in this episode: 1. Student Life Magazine (the latest issue isn't online yet but you get a good feel for the approach in the issues here): http://bit.ly/396v7RY  2.
