The Mentorship Gap: Why Young Adults Struggle to Find Discipleship

In this episode of The Ordinary Discipleship Podcast, we sit down with Reyna Martinez to discuss the challenges of finding mentorship and discipleship as a young adult. Reyna shares her deeply personal journey—growing up in youth group, experiencing the impact of intentional leadership, and then struggling to find discipleship after aging out of traditional church programs. She speaks candidly about the obstacles Gen Z faces in seeking authentic relationships within the church and the importance of persistence, vulnerability, and real connection. Hosts Chris Johnson and Jessie Cruickshank dive into leaders' fears and insecurities when mentoring others, while Reyna provides an inside perspective on what young adults truly need. Whether you’re a church leader, mentor, or someone searching for guidance, this episode offers valuable insights into building meaningful discipleship relationships.

Jessie Cruickshank is a disciple-maker, wilderness guide, and ordained minister. She has trained thousands of people how to survive when their life depended on it and earned a Master’s degree in experiential education at Harvard to learn how the brain works to help people train more effectively.

The key to discipleship is not more information, but learning how to create intentional environments where people can learn and grow. By working with the brain and treating individuals as whole persons, you too can discover how God wired our brains for transformation. You already have all the tools you need, it is time to activate them in you and your church.
