Gen Z Wants the Real Jesus | S3E45 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

In this powerful discussion, Adam and the crew unpack the hunger for authentic faith among young believers today. Contrary to the narrative that Gen Z is running from God, this generation is seeking Him in His purest form. The conversation challenges us to strip away cultural adaptations of Jesus and instead present the raw, transformative power of the Gospel.A moving story of a young woman who broke down in tears after hearing the simple truth of salvation reminds us of Romans 1:16 — that the Gospel itself is “the power of God for salvation.” Together, the hosts reflect on how we can avoid diluting the message with unnecessary additions and instead boldly proclaim Christ’s redemptive work. Inspired by Gen Z’s boldness to take the Gospel to school quads and city streets, this episode calls us to cultivate the same passion and authenticity in our own walk with God.--Connect with:Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Pastor Sammy https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Chelsie Baham https://www.instagram.com/chelsiebaham/Vivi Diaz https://www.instagram.com/viviiidiaz/Allan Walters https://www.instagram.com/alllanwalters/Christian De La Rosa https://www.instagram.com/christian__delarosa/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?
