"Gen Z Is On Fire, But Where Are the Millennials?" | Missing Millennials Part 1 | The Shepherd's Bench EP.011
The Shepherd's BenchShow Notes
Gen Z is hungry. They'll pay £5,000, fly across the world, do whatever it takes to be discipled. And they can't find anyone.
In Episode 11 of The Shepherd's Bench, Kofi Dartey and Randolph Adjei ask the question underneath the revival: if this generation is on fire, where is the generation meant to be raising them?
In this episode: The Gen Z revival is real, but every big move cries for sturdy leadership Movements led by 21-year-olds because the 35-year-olds are absent "Is this 18-year-old leading because you couldn't find a 35-year-old?" The boy who becomes the man of the house when his father isn't there Michael Jackson, a stolen childhood, and what happens when you blow up too early Why they're inheriting our problem, and how that becomes generational They'll pay for mentorship and still can't find a mentor Ezekiel 22:30, "I sought for a man to stand in the gap" To the millennial who stepped off: God is calling you home To the pastor: don't build your ministry at the cost of the people God gave you
You don't only give because you had it. Sometimes the biggest motivation is to give because you never did. ____________________ The Shepherd's Bench is hosted by Kofi Dartey & Randolph Adjei and brought to you by KAC Studios.

Everybody cries to their pastor. Who does the pastor cry to?In Episode 10 of The Shepherd's Bench, Kofi Dartey and Randolph Adjei open Matthew 26 and read Gethsemane as a leadership text. Jesus, surrounded by twelve, creates distance in layers: nine stay here, three come further, and then he goes alone, and weeps where nobody can hear him.In this episode: The loneliest room is the one with a queue outside it Gethsemane: nine, three, and the little further Why Jesus wouldn't let even Peter, James and John hear him break "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death" — anxiety, fear, and the humanity of Christ How much are leaders actually allowed to share? The line between honest vulnerability and bleeding on your people When those closest to you fall asleep in your hardest hour Every man of God has a story — and the compassion no prayer could build A prayer for the leader who feels alone You are not the first to go through it. You will not be the last. And you are not alone. ____________________ The Shepherd's Bench is hosted by Kofi Dartey & Randolph Adjei and brought to you by KAC Studios.

At six years old, Kofi Dartey joined the counselling queue at his father's church. Five people ahead of him. Little suit, little tie, shiny shoes. When he finally got in, his dad asked what he was doing there. He said: this is the only place I can see you. In Episode 9 of The Shepherd's Bench, Kofi and Randolph Adjei talk about the part of leadership nobody puts on the flyer, the humanity underneath the calling.
