In this episode of the Preach It Better Podcast, host Micah Stephens sits down with Beth Whitney, Next Gen Pastor at Arcade Church in Sacramento, California, to talk about leadership, discipleship, and the future of the Church.Beth shares how a pastor who empowered her to dream helped shape her ministry journey, why churches need to create space for emerging leaders, and how investing in students is producing a generation that's passionate about Jesus in a culture increasingly resistant to faith.Micah and Beth also discuss the difference between childcare and discipleship, raising up young leaders, storytelling in ministry, and why every Bible story ultimately points to Christ. One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation is Beth's conviction that if we want lasting faith, we must teach kids and students that the Bible is not primarily about heroes to imitate, it's about Jesus.
