With so many differences, how can we foster unity? What is the “family of God” and where do we fit?

Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and the Baby Boom Generation— each generation has diverse backgrounds, differing views, and varying opinions. Whether it is navigating social pressures or handling issues with mental health, each generation tends to vary in their perspective on and approach to life.

Generational barriers often create rifts in our lives, both personally and within the church. Differing perspectives and circumstances can make it difficult to find unity. Overcoming stereotypes, disagreements, and other tensions requires more than just listening.

We are God’s children. By engaging with the Scriptures and clinging to the truth of God’s Word, we can experience understanding and unity through Christ’s great love for us.

Join us as we sit down with members of the Our Daily Bread Ministries team to explore the generational divide and discover how God’s love can bring us unity and peace amid our differences.
