Gen Z is beginning to step into cross-cultural work, and their formation is markedly different from generations before them. In this episode, Amy and Bernie talk with Katy White about who Gen Z is, how a post-Christian, digital-native upbringing shapes them, and the unique strengths and challenges they bring to the field. Together, they explore what current leaders and organizations need to understand—and how mentoring, funding, leadership, and discipleship models may need to shift for this emerging generation.
