Publisher's Description

Don't count out Gen Z. These misfits and dreamers desire to see change in the world. Born between 1995 and 2012, they are the largest generation in the United States, but most Christians misunderstand the gap between them and Gen Z. Gen Z Misunderstood seeks to bridge the gap between you and Gen Z! Through years of experience with Gen Z, Tanner Callison seeks to challenge you to think differently and reprioritize your ministry efforts among this promising generation. We need to understand the story of Gen Z so we may invite them to a better story--God's story.

“If you have a Gen Z, work with a Gen Z, know a Gen Z, or are a Gen Z . . . this book is for you!”

Todd Ahrend

“If Gen Z baffles you, this is your introduction. You will come to more fully understand Gen Z—their world, their passions, their quirks—and even to more fully love them. And with that transformation, your church or ministry may actually be ready to reach them, too! Highly readable and engaging, Gen Z Misunderstood will assist Christian leaders in making disciples of this generation.”

Justin Schell

“For anyone struggling to understand and minister to Gen Z, Tanner Callison has done us all a favor. With a discerning mind and a compassionate heart, he demystifies common misperceptions of this generation. I recommend Tanner’s cultural-generational study and trans-generational biblical principles as both wise and accessible to any reader seeking to minister to Gen Z.”

E. D. Burns

“I’ve been serving in college ministry for over ten years, and I’ve seen the transition from millennials to Generation Z on campus. There are important changes and fantastic opportunities. Callison has done the hard work of summarizing those changes and reminding us that the Bible and the church provide the countercultural tools to take full advantage of those opportunities. Rather than being frustrated by the transition into a new generation on our campuses, Tanner encourages us all to eagerly make disciples of Gen Z!”
