There’s a quiet movement happening among young men today- one that isn’t loud, flashy, or trending on social media, but deeply spiritual. Pastor Mark Jobe sits down with missiologist, author, and dean, Ed Stetzer, to explore the subtle but significant awakening taking place in the hearts of Gen Z men. In a world marked by confusion, digital noise, and cultural drift, many young men are quietly searching for truth, purpose, identity, and something real. Could we be seeing the early signs of a spiritual stirring that may grow into a broader revival?
Revival doesn’t happen in isolation—it flows from one generation to the next. In this episode, Mark explores the essential role of fathers, mentors, and spiritual guides in shaping young men of faith. Together with pastor, counselor, and best-selling author Gary Chapman, we discuss why generational connection is vital for spiritual growth, how older men can pour into younger ones, and what it looks like to build meaningful, Christ-centered relationships that spark revival.
Many young men are finding Jesus not through programs or performance, but through real, raw encounters with truth. In this episode, Pastor Mark Jobe sits down with Gen Z follower of Jesus, Adam Edwards, to explore how authenticity, vulnerability, and lived-out faith are drawing young men back to Christ.
Adam shares his story—from leading among his peers, to building meaningful relationships, to witnessing God move in unexpected ways through student-led prayer and Scripture. His journey reveals a growing truth in this generation: authenticity is becoming the new apologetic, and genuine transformation is more powerful than polished answers.
Today’s generation of young men is being shaped by forces no one saw coming—digital isolation, fractured families, shifting culture, and a constant noise that drowns out the voice of God. But what if these pressures aren’t just presenting challenges… what if they’re preparing the soil for a quiet revival? Mark Jobe welcomes Pastor and radio host Chris Brooks to explore how the pain, confusion, and searching of Gen Z men may become the very catalyst for a move of God.
In this episode of Quiet Revival, Pastor Mark Jobe is joined by pastor, author, and cultural commentator Mark Sayers—known for his sharp insights into secularism, leadership, and the Church’s evolving role in a rapidly changing world. Together, they explore how the quiet return of Gen Z men to faith is signaling a shift in the future church. This conversation dives beneath the surface of cultural change to examine how the next generation’s hunger for meaning and formation could lead to a more relational, humble, and mission-driven church.
In this episode of Quiet Revival, we sit down with noted author and apologist Sean McDowell to explore what it means for Gen Z men to live boldly for Christ in a culture that’s rapidly drifting from its moral foundations. Together, we unpack why so many young men are hungry for truth, meaning, and conviction—and how following Jesus with integrity has become a countercultural act of courage.
This conversation challenges young men to stand firm in purity, humility, and mission—embracing a faith that doesn’t blend in, but shines brightly in the darkness. Sean offers practical wisdom, honest insight, and a hopeful framework for spiritual strength, identity, and long obedience in the same direction.
In the final episode of the Quiet Revival podcast, Pastor Mark Jobe and his son, pastor and leader Josiah Jobe, dive into what draws Gen Z men back to church—and what drives them away. Mark and Josiah explore why authenticity, purpose, and genuine community matter more than ever, and why mentorship and real accountability resonate deeply with young men today. Whether you’re a pastor, parent, or simply trying to understand the next generation, this episode offers practical insight into the kind of church Gen Z is ready to return to.
