How can our local churches engage or reengage younger generations, not with gimmicks, compromising the truth, or selling out, but by embracing the very heart of Christ's gospel? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Efrem Smith. Efrem is the Co-lead pastor of Midtown Church in Sacramento, California. Efrem has been an encouragement to so many pastors and ministry leaders. He's written a number of books, including his latest, which is entitled Church for Everyone. Together, Efrem and Jason explore the kingdom opportunities arising among young people, even in the midst of declining church engagement. Efrem shares from his personal ministry experiences how to connect with emerging generations at the heart level and invite them to immerse themselves in a cause that truly matters.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Efrem Smith on the importance of both words and deeds in conveying our message of faith: "Jesus both declared and demonstrated the good news, he both proclaimed and practiced it."
Efrem Smith on the significance of engaging and involving young people in understanding and embodying the principles of justice as exemplified by Jesus: "Invite the emerging generation into what the justice of Jesus looks like."
Efrem Smith on the shift of young people away from specific church denominations as opposed to completely forsaking their faith altogether: "In some cases, emerging generations might be leaving a type of church, but they're not leaving the church altogether."
