Published 13 days ago • 3 min read
Welcome to the On The Rise newsletter, where I feature fascinating, helpful, and sometimes curious content that caught my attention this week.
Today, is this the year Woke broke, how the Trump presidency is reshaping the world, Gen Z marketing trends, and insights on your reputation.
Gen Z is Turning Marketing Upside Down
Some surprising notes for your church’s social media team.
We’re still figuring out Gen Z, but these marketing trends will help your social media team better understand the puzzle that is Gen Z.
So what’s the latest? Well,
They probably won’t deal with your church if your senior leader isn’t online.
They’ve done 60% of their market research on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reddit forums.
They love their phones but won’t make a call.
They don’t like ‘ads’ but love to hear from peers.

The Chosen is Back for Season 5
A must-see event this Easter season
The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last.
Shot in a beautiful cinematic format, The Chosen: Last Supper brings the most pivotal week in history to audiences in this special three-part theatrical release.
One of the most challenging things pastors do is preach a ‘hard’ funeral. A stillborn child. Suicide. Cancer. A drunk driver. It’s a privilege to be with families in their deepest crisis, yet you can sit there staring at a blank screen for hours. What do you say? This reference book is a collection of sermons that tackle the above subjects and many others. Sometimes, it’s just good to know others have gone before you and done well. I keep this on my shelf as a starting point for those situations in which I might be called to pastor in the worst circumstances.
Mark Sayers on the year Woke broke & how the Trump presidency will reshape the world.
If you’re not listening to Mark Sayer’s Rebuilders Podcast, you’re missing out.
Mark is an Australian pastor who has an astonishing knowledge of global politics, trends, and insights. Best of all, he’s more of an ‘observer’ than a ‘ranter’ coming at you from the right or left. His humility and staggering intelligence are a rare combination.
These two episodes help frame the dizzying change in culture we’re seeing right now.
This week on the podcast, Mark Batterson unpacks the funding and church planting strategy of National Community Church, from 29 people to owning coffee houses and city blocks in one of America's most expensive real estate markets, and how 'success' goes from gradual to sudden.
