Jason Tucker (MDiv., DMin.) is the lead pastor of Tower Hill Church, in Red Bank NJ, which has grown into one of the largest Presbyterian churches in the state - through a turnaround process he shares in Speaking Their Language. He believes that any church, regardless of size, can use this research-based, field-tested, process to grow healthier and reach younger generations for Christ. He has worked with dozens of churches (of all sizes), and denominational groups across the country to help them develop their own renewal plans. His church revitalization podcast, The Reclaimed Leader, has been a go-to resource for many pastors and change-leaders since 2017.

Klappentext

Everyone used to think that kids would come back to church when they grew up. But, after they left for college, they never looked back. Every year, hundreds of churches that were once filled with young families are closing their doors forever. A large majority of the rest have simply slipped into generational irrelevance. What happened? Instead of bridging generational language gaps, many churches have insisted on maintaining a one-size-fits-all approach to ministry (usually optimized for older generations). But, it doesn't have to be this way. Speaking Their Language will lead you through a research-based, field-tested process to help you translate the never-changing truth of Jesus into the ever-changing language of younger generations. Your congregation should be laser-focused about who you're trying to reach and have a viable plan for how you'll do it. While many church revitalization books offer best practices, this book focuses on the best process--because it leads to right-sized outcomes that fit your context.
