Intergenerational Communication in Church Media: Trust, Authenticity, and Reaching Gen ZOn the On Water Podcast, host Jin Choi introduces a workshop from the ACP/CCCA conference “Reaching Across Divides” on intergenerational communication, featuring Jin (Millennial), Kayla (Gen Z, national director of How to Life), and Chris Vascher (Gen X, founder of ClearWay Church Solutions). They discuss how churches and Christian media can communicate across generations amid shifting mediums from print to digital, widespread institutional mistrust, and Gen Z’s search for stability, authenticity, justice, and relational trust. Chris contrasts 20th-century leadership (visionary, directive, results-driven) with 21st-century leadership (coaching, relationship, outcomes), while Kayla highlights collaborative structures, accountability, and rest rhythms. The group explores storytelling and behind-the-scenes transparency to build trust, and addresses the need for confession, repentance, and reconciliation to avoid losing younger generations.
