Welcome to our first GenFree Intensive. Get ready for two days of training and inspiration as we come alongside youth ministers, leaders, counselors, and families to help young people find their identities and live free in Christ. If you work with, or minister to, teens and young adults ages 13-25, this is for you.
Take advantage of training and GenFree resources as we tackle topics including:
• Building relationships and alliances with Gen Z
• Taking young generations through the personal Steps to Freedom
• Guiding teens and young adults through a Stronghold Buster
• Adapting and creating resources for Gen Z
• Navigating relationships with parents and family systems
• Creating a network of community advocates and encouragers for young generations
• Addressing the role of sexuality in the context of spiritual formation and individual identity
