This week on the Switch Leader Podcast, host Josh Baldwin sits down with Camry Rowan and Izzy Loranger for a fascinating and practical conversation about the future of youth ministry as Gen Alpha steps into Switch. Together, they explore the differences between Gen Z and Gen Alpha, why today’s students are more skeptical yet spiritually curious, and how leaders can adapt while staying grounded in the unchanging truth of Jesus.
 
You’ll hear insights from youth ministry in real time—like what it’s like leading a sixth-grade small group today, how slang reveals cultural shifts, and how leaders can balance grace and truth when walking with students through real questions and doubts. Whether you’re a seasoned youth pastor or a brand-new small group leader, this conversation will encourage you, challenge you, and equip you to reach the next generation with authenticity and intentionality.
 
🔑 Topics covered:


What Gen Alpha is really like


Why students are asking harder questions earlier


The impact of media and skepticism on young faith


How to build trust and speak truth that sticks
