Jude 1:3 says this.
Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to His holy people.
Gen Z can’t defend the faith if they don’t know the doctrines and tenets of the faith. Gen Z can’t defend the faith if they don’t know why those doctrines and tenets are true.
And you will notice that it says “the” faith. Gen Z is immersed in a culture that elevates tolerance to a level that says “all faiths lead to the same place and if you say otherwise, you are an intolerant bigot.”
The faith we are called to teach Gen Z says there is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ. We must equip Gen Z to be able to defend this faith. For many churches, this is only going to happen if they change the scope and sequence of what they are teaching Gen Z and their parents.
If Gen Z and the generations to follow are going to know and believe that Christianity is true, it will be because you and I shared with them WHY it is true.
If you are looking for resources to help teach Gen Z why we can know the Bible is true, then the Prankster series is just what you need. It takes kids on a deep dive into why the Bible is the Word of God and why you can trust it. You can see more at this link.
If you are looking for a resource to help kids examine the evidence of Jesus’ resurrection, then the CSI (Christ Scene Investigation) lesson is a great tool. You can get more info. at this link.
