This Generation Podcast Tacoma Youth For Christ Episode 3: Keeping teens engaged in the church with Tim Smyth and Reese Carlson

EPISODE 3: Keeping Teens Engaged in the Church

Join us as we welcome Reese Carlson, author and youth pastor, and Tim Smyth, Tacoma YFC Church Engagement Coordinator, to the show to discuss what it looks like to keep teens engaged in the church and growing in their faith.
 
Reese is the author of the new book, Church Doesn’t End with Z: Why Gen Z is Leaving the Church and How to Reach Them. Tim and Reese share research on declining church attendance, the necessity (and often missing element) of community, how to pray for the teens in your life, and practical steps for our listeners.
