In this episode, Jill sits down with Eunice Lin Nichols, Co-CEO of CoGenerate and co-author of the groundbreaking report Honest Conversations: Faith Leaders on the Real Work of Intergenerational Collaboration.
Together, they explore what it really takes for churches to bring generations together in meaningful, transformational ways—not just on paper, not just symbolically, but in ways that change culture, repair conflict, share power, and deepen relationships across age groups.
This conversation is honest, hopeful, and deeply practical for pastors, parents, ministry leaders, and anyone who cares about the future of the Church.

Conversation Highlights
• The story behind Honest Conversations and why CoGenerate turned its lens toward faith communities
• How power dynamics between generations can either fracture or fuel transformation
• Why intergenerational work begins with repair, not programming
• What Next Gen and Senior Adult ministries can learn from each other
• Real-world examples of churches that are living out "cogeneration"
• How to move from intent to practice in building bridges between generations

To conclude Season 7, Jill sits down with a spiritual mother, Debb Webb — a Kingdom teacher whose journey has moved from leading a traditional church to cultivating Spirit-led, home-based Kingdom communities as part of the Legacy Conversation series.

This episode draws from a deep well of wisdom. It's the kind of conversation that may feel like drinking from a fire hydrant — dense, layered, and overflowing with revelation. Together, Jill and Debb explore themes that range wide and deep:
-The meaning behind the title "Son of Man" and key Hebrew words that reveal God's heart
-The original human mandate and how it shapes our purpose today
-How to discern the Spirit of God in community
-The nature of revelation and prophecy
-What it means to live in faithful obedience to the Father's will

This is a rich, Spirit-filled conversation for those hungry to understand the Kingdom more deeply — an invitation to listen slowly, reflect prayerfully, and let wisdom take root.
