Helping churches and pastors reach the next generation now.

Read the White Paper that started everything.

64% of Millennials have left the church. Let's change this.

We spent over 2 years reading articles and books on why Millennials and Gen Z are leaving the church, and saw a common pattern of false conclusions about these generations.

We go beyond describing the problem - we help pastors with practical solutions.

This 11,000-word White Paper contains 8 Innovations to leading Millennials and Gen Z with a Foreword by Dr Frank Damazio.

A solution is not merely an idea, a critique, or an opinion. Solutions are actions that build a better future. Be The Solution is a call to that action. The call is not subtle, but loud, sharp, and repeated. A call to convert ideas into motion so that the revelation of the church maintains momentum for generations onwards.

What we do:

The next generation needs to become an obsession, not just an option, if the church is to thrive in the emerging post-Christian landscape. Our passion is to help you as a Pastor or church leader to understand new generations, and be equiped with practitioner-based solutions and tools.

  • White Papers, podcasts, courses, and new content to help Pastors and leaders reach and relate to Millennials and Gen Z.

  • Equipping churches and organisations to develop generational intelligence through specialised professional consulting.

  • We provide coaching to Pastors and leaders through cohorts, live-events, and courses.

Our latest Barna resource


Digital Church in a Lonely World: 7 Ingredients of Church Community.

Preface by David Kinnaman, CEO of the Barna Group.

It takes people who are daily serving within local churches to help pastors connect the dots from a larger overview to practical application.

That’s why Barna partnered with Benjamin Windle—pastor, speaker and author—to create Digital Church in a Lonely World: 7 Ingredients of Church Community.

In this brand-new piece—the first in a series of Barna Ideas—Windle brings the research to life and offers fresh thinking about digital church and community engagement.

Part 1: In-Person Community and Part 2: Bold Digital Innovation provide timely insights to help churches bring people together in an increasingly online and disconnected world.

Barna Ideas is a series committed to exploring new models, new methods and new mindsets for the future of the Church.


Format: Digital. Full color, infographics, 69 pages.

A new generation is here, and they think, relate, and live differently than any other generation before them. We are optimistic about this new generation. They are hopeful, educated, and believe they can change the world.​

Mega-trends and broad patterns have created a new era. It’s already arrived, and it is fundamentally changing society.
