Why Gen Z Is Leading the Next Great Awakening with Luke LeFevre

What if everything you've heard about declining church attendance is about to change?

Luke LeFevre joins us to share what he's witnessing across North America—from college campuses to historic churches like Saddleback—and why he believes we're on the cusp of a 60-year movement of God.

In this conversation, Luke pulls back the curtain on what happened at Saddleback's sacred assembly, shares his encounter with Andy Wood that started it all, and explains why Gen Z is now the most frequent church-attending generation in the West.

But here's the challenge: Are our churches actually ready for what's coming?

Luke doesn't hold back on what he believes the Western church has lost—and what needs to be restored before we can sustain a genuine move of God's Spirit.

Whether you're a pastor feeling isolated in your hunger for revival or a church leader wondering what the next decade holds, this conversation will stir something in you.
