In this powerful episode of the Restoring Our City podcast, we sit down with Nathan John, the founder of Houston Magnify—a grassroots, Gen Z-led movement uniting Christians across Houston to magnify Jesus. Nathan shares his journey from resisting God's call to embracing it fully in his hometown, sparking a citywide movement rooted in gospel-centered community, hospitality, and intergenerational unity.We explore how Gen Z is not as disconnected from faith as many think—in fact, they’re spiritually hungry and ready for revival. Nathan breaks down the key barriers to true Christian community (misunderstanding God's character, gossip, and generational gaps) and shares stories of transformation that started with just two or three faithful friends.From curating meaningful in-person gatherings in a digital-first world to fostering unity across denominations and age groups, Nathan offers practical encouragement for anyone who feels called to impact their city—even if they feel unqualified.📍 Topics Covered:Why Gen Z is more spiritually open than ever beforeBuilding intergenerational church community in divided timesThe difference between gospel-centric and gospel-adjacent ministryCreating physical spaces of connection in a digital age📲 Learn more about Houston Magnify and how Gen Z is reshaping faith community through love, presence, and purpose.🎧 Listen now and be inspired to lead, wherever God has placed you.
