Episode 196: Leading the Church in a Different World: Gen Z’s Challenge

In this episode of The Today Counts Show, host Jim Piper Jr. sits down with Mason Moore, Worship Pastor at NorthRock Church, and Dr. Chris Juarez, Campus Pastor at NorthRock Church, to explore what it really means to lead the Church in a different world as a Gen Z leader.

As the ministry continues to change at a rapid pace, Gen Z leaders are navigating new pressures while learning timeless lessons in real time. Mason and Chris share honest insights on learning from mistakes, embracing collaboration across generations, and leading with authenticity in a culture that quickly detects what isn’t real. They discuss how failure can become a formative teacher, why shared leadership is essential for sustainable ministry, and how authenticity builds trust with both teams and congregations.

This episode isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about growing through experience, leading with humility, and creating healthy ministry environments where people can thrive. Whether you’re a Gen Z leader, a pastor developing young leaders, or someone invested in the future of the Church, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and practical wisdom.
