Results. Thats the word that defines a generation. For many Millennialsthose born between 1981 and 1996faith must work in real life. In this first episode of Millennial Minute, Bianca Shante and Tiffany get real about what it means to see tangible results from their Christian faith. Despite statistics suggesting Millennials are walking away from church, Bianca and Tiffany boldly challenge that narrative. Both women, based in the Washington, D.C. metro area (the DMV), share how their personal relationships with Christ have anchored them through lifes storms. Tiffany has walked with Christ for about 10 years, while Bianca recommitted her life to Him in February 2023.

I look at my faith in Christ as my anchor, Bianca says. When life gets deep and storms come, Christ holds me steady.

The conversation takes a thought-provoking turn as the women tackle the question:
What do you see traditional Christianity lacking today?

Tiffanys answer is both honest and convicting:

I think Christianityor the church as a wholeis missing results. Weve allowed too many lowercase g gods into our lives and silenced the Holy Ghost.

The episode closes with Bianca and Tiffany reflecting on actor Denzel Washingtons powerful commencement speech at Dillard University, exploring how his message connects to their walk of faith.
