I’m here for Jackie always pointing us back to Jesus and his word

I loved Jackie Hill Perry’s approach.... Imma listen, & be slow to speak, but when I do it’s going to be substantial! ....& with few words! That girl is baaaaad!

i appreciate Jackie's example of humbly listening intently, then bringing the topic of discussion back to God when she received the opportunity to share.

The reason the Bible is still relevant is because each generation goes thru the same thing called LIFE 🙌🏾

Jackie was definitely overlooked in this one but she was the only one who highlighted the truth of God and not about her “style” and “methods”

Jackie Hill Perry is a voice that needs to be heard!

I LOOOOOOOOVE JACKIE’S FACIALS!!! 😂

Many study the art of preaching and not the art of holiness. You can have that....

As a millennial, we just want authenticity. We grew up in churches that preached, “Do as I say, not as I do.” Sadly, we watched pastors cheat on their wives and leave their children, homosexual choir directors draw the largest crowds, musicians sleep with all the women, plus more.

Jackie has it!!! I appreciate having her on this panel. She is making it about God and the word and not us! Some love to hear themselves talk, some love to talk about HIM! Again thank you Jackie!

I feel like this became tone deaf towards the end. Just tell the truth. It's not rocket science. We teach waaaaay too much church culture instead of Christ. Buckle down on OBJECTIVE Apologetics, devoid of any particular political leanings or agendas

What Jackie said was the most relevant!! Someone said it, God knows all and He is never outdated. We can be but He is not. He don't need to figure out how to reach the people, acknowledging God in all of their ways will lead them down that path. I also like Pastor Mike!

Jackie’s the only one who made it about God. Everybody else seems so self-absorbed.

I’ve never seen a plantation. I do appreciate cadence. Christ before style, discipleship before culture, substance before cadence

Different styles are needed for different people but as long as the truth is being preached that's all that matters

I loved it when Pastor Goodman said that "black people can be excellent"!!!

Thank you Pastor Mike! Some preachers are threatened by others gifts!

So much gold in this interview!! I’m taking notes!!!!

I’m About to binge watch all these videos this weekend lol- this channel is so interesting!

Man just follow the Holy Spirit, have discernment, an stay on your face in prayer, stay true with God and yourself and be obedient, and submitted, get delivered from people.This will help all of these issues that came up in this conversation. From the leaders the ushers, the millennials on down to the elders in the church etc.

I'm so happy I came across this video.Often West Coast seminaries do not cover the Black church experience and expression. So, it is amazing to witness this discussion amongst these educated church leaders. Please consider bringing this to California. We need this!

This conversation is RICH!!!! So much in one 🙌🏾

Y’all are blessing me man 🙏🏿

Mike McClure, you said it, Sir. You got to surround yourself with people that can build you where you lack.

Beautiful panel of inspiring people in the faith, we thank God

Jesus never preached or taught the same. We must be led BY God's Spirit

Mike McClure is so dope wit it. Love this panel!

LOVE this! These are the days that the church will figure things out!

I’m here for all of it

Awesome discussion. Awesome points & perspectives to truly consider & take to heart. Thanks Guys💯 Continued Peace & Prosperity in your endeavors with your personal relationships with/God & your ministries🙏🏽

Amen.Dr.Goodman pray over entire church

Thank you for giving us Mike McClure!

This is a great presentation; quite challenging and informative.

Wow this was amazing !!!

I can listen to Jackie Hill Perry all day…very rooted and grounded teacher

Wow!! This was a good talk.

As member of a congregation, I want to know that my pastor is growing, studying , learning.....being sanctified.

Amazing panel . Powerful conversation.

This really blessed me . Really out things in prospective

I am glad for the video because I can learn more about some young black pastors’ perspectives. If we remember that we all start this life depraved, guilty with the destination of hell, then our preaching will be relevant. We won’t focus on style too much if we just be ourselves as we share the gospel. When Christ called you to preach, He already knew your personality, strength, weakness culture etc. Just try to be the vessel ready to be used by the Holy Spirit. Just trust the Holy Spirit and he will lead you. It’s not a numbers game it’s a heart and soul issue

Love what Dr. Parker had to say about content!! The word of God doesn’t change however the style of deliverance.

Pastor McClure granted your concerns are valid. Be a kingdom men no matter what. My prayers are with you, your family and saints.

Content will always matter more than style. If the focus is not on the Cross and it's power, I don't care how feel good it sounds. Speaking of generational issues, I think it's more about a pastor being relatable. Listening to the wisdom of the elders is also not old fashioned. I feel this is something younger generations needs to learn. PS I believe the church worldwide needs more teachers.

Dr. Parker was hitting it on style vs context!! Her greatest argument is watching the (Black)Israelites online for hours taking note. Excellent point. I'm still watching but bible study along with attending church to hear a sermon is key. Taking the time to open the bible and do the following up about what the pastor just preach will help with further understanding.

They were all on on point!

Dr Goodman brings a sage insight to to conversation.

This is such a timely discussion. Thank you, Jude 3 project.

This generation doesn't want to be lied to ....🙌🏾🇿🇲

I listened and a lot of valid points from all. What I did notice is that the Men monopolized the conversation and spoke more about themselves and their style or presentation instead of staying on topic. The Females stayed on topic and spoke from how to meet the generation from that generation's perspective. That is the moderators error from not knowing how to keep the conversation flowing and making sure each person had their time to speak. Dr. Brianna gave great methods on how to meet that generation and would've like to hear more. Jackie is correct about knowing the audience that you're speaking to because you have to meet people where they are. Jackie is someone who floats in many spaces not only Black.

I loved this! Watson Jones we are blessed to have you in Chicago! You’re an incredible gift to the body. Dr Bri Parker, incredible content and transparency. Pastor mike was incredible! Jackie Hill-Perry is fearless! Dr. Goodman is a statesman! Loved all of this!!!!!

So glad Jackie is up there bottom line it don’t matter what generation it is truth needs to be spoken seriously preach the Bible and place it into a text for today period. Every generation has some folks who get it and some don’t that’s going to be how it is regardless . Many of millennials don’t wanna go to church because they see fake stuff in the church

I like this dialog . I dont agree with all these statements but thats the wonderful part . We are supposed to have disagreements and agreements. Just know how far to go . How to walk away. And when to walk away. Content is everything. But its simple. The gospel is not complex. Love God, yourself, and your neighbor

Facts on the lack of structure in some places

Mike, I think so many more will be reached in a deeper way, If our pastors would admit when they have learned something new. My pastor, would speak about something new he learned and lambaste the congregation for not for thinking like the younger him, instead of saying I have learned something new. I appreciate that in you. We all should be in a state of learning when it comes to the Bible and things of that nature. We will never know it all on this side of Jordan.

Dr.brianna Parker you are spot on. 👏🏿

It’s the panel for me. We are listening.

"bapticostal" lol i love it and immediately understood what he meant (4:15)

Well said Ms.Perry👌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Very Good Conversation.

I really appreciate this discussion. We have to be real as millennials reaching out to Gen Z and Gen Alpha. We have to switch it up and get back to pure love and helping one another. I’m over the self-righteous folk…..I think we can still make a difference ✨

Powerful!!!!

Thought Provoking!!

Very informational

Yes Jackie. Yes

I don’t want just a SOUND! Content gets lost in style! Dr Brianna thank you for correcting that!

Note: your production volume is real low.

And “I” panel. Jackie thank you for decreasing so God can have the increase. Is God being glorified on this panel?

I am here for Jackie Hill Perry, just to hear her directing us to God

Awesome dialogue

Ms.Parker is head on👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Dr.Charles hit it! Be yourself and your audience will come

It’s best to not get this generation to comfortable because they are already comfortable, so it’s not about changing the style of preaching to draw them in but rather to set them free with truth teaching spiritual Discipline and most of all there true identity in Christ Jesus!!!! Identity is an eye opener that draws this generation into a great hunger and thirst for God! I believe a preacher should not be always relating hip hop artists etc with Biblical stories because what this generation need is LIGHT so don’t mix Light and darkness and get them to comfortable but rather teach them spiritual discipline. this generation are simply lazy and lack understanding.

Tuning in from Kenya 🇰🇪

I live in Birmingham and it’s one church that’s drawing all races and it’s just what Ms.Parker said... they consistent doing the same thing at all locations just a like and on time. People kids love the atmosphere and I wonder sometimes what’s wrong or different in our black churches. It’s truly a difference

Yayyy,, for content. I am not for style, style is to much like entertainment. And we been entertained to long. It's all about content for me. Don't want to be yelled at, hooping and moaning and groaning. Love Dr. PARKER answer, and wish I could have heard more from Jackie Perry

Dr. Parker is actually on point in this one.

You just need to be anointed with all the sin in this world u need to love to see souls saved its about souls not materials but souls

If nobody new is listening what good is the message?

Great discussion

I was on board with the discussion till I heard the Lady Dr say things like Blacks have to be trained in things of the church and the host talked about White/Black Trump issue. Nobody talked about the cultural issues in the home. They talk about how Believers see Jesus from different perspectives, but God is the same yesterday, today and forever for ALL People. Don't focus on the differences, we are all the same in God's eyes and on His heart

Good word!

A couple years ago I was asked to teach at a youth event on pre-marital sex or something etc. I don't remember having any intention to, or notes, but I ended up doing a bee line to Cardi B and Offset as an example of a popular yet an unbiblical relationship. We compared the professed love Offset had for Cardi in relationship to how they seemed to be doing as a couple and the amount of children he had prior to etc. The backdrop was looking at their relationship from the pop culture perspective versus a biblical view. Those kids perked up and knew exactly what I was trying to say. That had a profound impact on my view of what I should and should not say. It was the most blatant conversation I had ever heard about sex and drugs in church but it was completed pointing to Christ. Even listening to Dr. Bri say she taught with Nikki Minaj lyrics I was like huh...and then I was reminded when I taught with Cardi B and the Lord used it. It opened my eyes to my inaccurate perspective about context and communication, the differences between trying to be cool with kids versus knowing what the heck they are into.

I like Mike McClure idea on offering.

I so agree; we have lost the cooperate solidarity.

Did Mr. Mclure say that "we TRY to be sound in our doctrine"??? Well, in the words of Yoda... There is no try, it's DO OR DO NOT. However, The Word of the Lord puts it this way, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would rather you be cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.

Glad I found this channel. So. The Black Church...is TOO much like family; you got drunk uncles, gossipy aunties, and bossy grandmamas? That's love.

God desires that the Church-body be as “one” because HE is “one” with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Sunday service should not be a segregated event....I look forward to heaven when every tribe, tongue, and nation will worship God in spirit and in truth.

Come on now ....speak truth to power...Mike McClure🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I LOOOOVE this Conversation! I am a PK grew up West Coast but have lived in the South so I have seen the change in ministry over 3 decade's now. I think 2 of the most important comments made was Style versus Content and Church Systems versus Structure. These things could be WHY ministry's lose there relevance. BUT 1 question HOW Important is "DOCTRINAL" Preaching/Teaching? We rarely hear it across Black Pulpits 🤔🙄🤔

While I appreciate and agree with much of what I have heard, I also know that caution is necessary. The Bible is right and it is truth, so it does need props, stages or gimmicks. In addition the Word of God is before the foundation of the world. It is not subject to time so therefore it cannot be irrelevant, because God is not. I understand and agree with contextualization; however, I am concerned that with preaching, church and the scripture, that we are creating a Baskin-Robbins, Burger King and buffet Christianity. The gospel does not need to updated per our generational lens. All people must be open to the gospel and for our desperate need for salvation and forgiveness. Just like the anointing does not reside in a suit and tie so does it not reside in cut skinny jeans. Individuality and creativity can be used for God's glory. However, I have seen them be turned into idols. Remember that this sin-idolatry seems to be man's favorite go-to sin.

Does anyone know who the "Sam Chance" is that Dr. Bri Parker is referring to at 26:22? I'm referencing this video for a research project but I'm having a hard time finding what she's referencing. Thanks in advance to anyone who can clue me in!

I can’t wait a hour to hear Jackie talk. I didn’t hear her talk much. At what times do you she talk ?

I’m at here for the Doctor you hear me! She talking the truth.

Great conversation. Don’t forget about Generation X (in between the Boomers and Millennials).

I'm not black and this is speaking to me. I think I want to go to their church.

Man, this is the problem. The holy scriptures are meant to be simple. Not full of theological definitions and a slew of credentialed individuals. Using one’s intellect to explain a generation and the church is exactly what God warns in the scriptures. Our own wisdom is foolishness to Him. We need to take heed to ourselves and our own ways to look into why we are the way we are and why we face the issues we do. The scriptures need to take its rightful place in the black church again and in every church for that matter. P.S. Jackie is trying her best to get them back to the bible lol.

SPIRIT SPEAK🙏

I luv Jackie's humility and input. I like the other lady's commentary too. The 2 guys made some good points but seemed a little competitive with one another. Particularly Dr Goodman, though progressive, seems a little uncomfortable with some of the other male pastor's "radradicalness." But this was a very enjoyable, informative presentation.

Being in God's word is hearing from God

Why are so many people leaving the churches?
