Today I Learnd Truth In Love
Reaching All Generations With The Truth
Reaching Gen Z with the Absolute Truth of God’s Word:
A Call to Share the Eternal Message In a rapidly changing world, where social media trends, technological advancements, and cultural shifts often redefine values, one truth remains unchanging: God’s Word, the Bible. As Christians, we are called to pass on this truth to the next generation, ensuring they experience the transformative power of God’s message.
Psalm 145:4-9 beautifully captures this responsibility: "One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty and wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of their great goodness and sing of their righteousness. The LORD is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."
Understanding Gen Z: A Unique Opportunity Generation Z, born roughly between 1997 and 2012, is marked by curiosity, digital savviness, and a hunger for authenticity. They live in a world of information overload but are keenly aware of the gaps in meaning and purpose left by secular ideologies. This generation yearns for truth that transcends temporary trends, and as Christians, we have the opportunity to present them with the timeless, unshakable truth of God’s Word. Declaring God’s Mighty Acts Psalm 145:4 reminds us that faith is generational: “One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”
Reaching Gen Z requires us to tell the stories of God’s faithfulness from Scripture and our lives. Sharing personal testimonies, recounting biblical miracles, and highlighting God’s hand in history allows young people to see how His greatness transcends time. Speaking of His Majesty and Compassion In verses 5-8, the psalmist proclaims God’s glorious majesty and His abundant mercy: "I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty and wondrous works... The LORD is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy." Gen Z’s emphasis on compassion aligns with the character of God described here. Highlighting how God’s Word calls us to love others and show mercy resonates deeply with their values. At the same time, pointing them to the source of this love—God Himself—anchors their passion in eternal truth rather than fleeting ideologies.
Practical Steps for Reaching Gen Z
Leverage Digital Platforms: Gen Z spends much of their time online. Using platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to share Scripture, create engaging content, and tell stories of God’s greatness ensures the message reaches where they are. Encourage Real Conversations: Be willing to listen to their questions and doubts. Gen Z values authenticity, so open and honest discussions about faith are essential. Model a Living Faith: Actions speak louder than words. Let them see the transformative power of God’s Word in your life. Demonstrating grace, compassion, and integrity provides a tangible example of God’s truth in action. Create Community: Gen Z desires connection. Church groups, Bible studies, and service projects tailored to their interests can foster a sense of belonging while grounding them in God’s Word.
Singing of His Righteousness Psalm 145:7 calls us to “sing of [God’s] righteousness.” Worship through music, art, and creativity resonates deeply with this generation. Encouraging them to express their faith in ways that utilize their unique gifts bridges the gap between ancient truth and contemporary culture.
Conclusion: A Gracious God for a Searching Generation Gen Z’s hunger for authenticity and purpose is an open door for the gospel. As we declare God’s mighty acts, speak of His majesty, and model His compassion, we fulfill the call of Psalm 145:4-9. Let us intentionally reach this generation with the absolute truth of God’s Word, knowing that His message is as relevant and transformative today as it has always been. The Lord’s mercy and grace extend to all generations, and we are privileged to carry His truth to the next. May we embrace this mission with passion and faithfulness, trusting in the power of God’s Word to change hearts and lives forever.

The Enduring Appeal of AM/FM Religious Radio
The Enduring Appeal of AM/FM Religious Radio Among Women: Insights from Radio Ink and Truth In Love Radio
In an era dominated by digital streaming platforms, traditional AM/FM radio remains deeply resonant with American women, particularly in the realm of religious broadcasting. A recent study highlighted by Radio Ink underscores this enduring connection, revealing that women aged 15–64 still prefer over-the-air radio for its emotional engagement and local relevance.
Why Women Still Tune In
According to the study by Alan Burns & Associates and Cumulus Media/Westwood One, two-thirds of female listeners are drawn to their favorite stations because of the personalities behind the mic. These hosts offer more than just music—they provide a sense of community, relatability, and emotional connection that digital platforms often lack. Yvonne Carlson of Global Media Outreach notes that traditional radio's blend of local content, live interaction, and community focus creates a unique sense of belonging among listeners.

Truth In Love Radio: A Local Example of Impact
Truth In Love Radio exemplifies these principles. This is why TIL Radio is looking to acquire broadcast stations everywhere. Their programming offers a biblical worldview on contemporary issues, aiming to reach all generations with the truth. Through Southern Gospel music and relatable life stories, TIL Radio fosters a community where listeners feel seen, heard, and valued. Their commitment to local engagement and personalized content mirrors the findings from the Radio Ink study, demonstrating that when radio stations prioritize connection and relevance, they can effectively serve their audiences.
The Power of Local Connection
Sharon Geiger of 90.9 KCBI emphasizes that radio's strength lies in its local focus. By referencing local landmarks, events, and communities, radio personalities create a familiar and comforting presence for listeners. This approach not only enhances listener loyalty but also reinforces the station's role as a trusted community resource. (radioink.com)
Adapting to Changing Times
While traditional radio remains a staple, the study also highlights the need for evolution. As work-from-home arrangements reduce commute times, stations must adapt by integrating digital platforms and interactive elements to maintain their relevance. This hybrid approach enables stations to expand their reach and continue serving their audiences effectively. (radioink.com)
Conclusion
The enduring appeal of AM/FM religious radio among women is a testament to the medium's unique ability to foster emotional connections and community engagement. Stations like Truth In Love Radio demonstrate that by staying true to local relevance and personalized content, traditional radio can continue to thrive in the digital age.
