user generated content compared to 12% user generated content compared to 12% who are likely to purchase a product who are likely to purchase a product who are likely to purchase a product promoted by influencers so that's 86% if promoted by influencers so that's 86% if promoted by influencers so that's 86% if a user if someone from your church if a user if someone from your church if a user if someone from your church if you post them it's it's like way more you post them it's it's like way more you post them it's it's like way more effective than the 12% who say yeah I'm effective than the 12% who say yeah I'm effective than the 12% who say yeah I'm going to follow that Pastor so if you're going to follow that Pastor so if you're going to follow that Pastor so if you're the senior pastor guess what you're the the senior pastor guess what you're the the senior pastor guess what you're the influencer here it's going to be more influencer here it's going to be more influencer here it's going to be more effective when you get other voices effective when you get other voices effective when you get other voices there so what you want to do is from there so what you want to do is from there so what you want to do is from time to time feature other people on time to time feature other people on time to time feature other people on your channel now the good news is Gen Z your channel now the good news is Gen Z your channel now the good news is Gen Z are digital natives they would love the are digital natives they would love the are digital natives they would love the chance so you've got an answer right chance so you've got an answer right chance so you've got an answer right there shift number five reverse Mentor there shift number five reverse Mentor there shift number five reverse Mentor your leadership so if you're over 30 your leadership so if you're over 30 your leadership so if you're over 30 which I might be you are missing out on which I might be you are missing out on which I might be you are missing out on the cultural cues that seem obvious to the cultural cues that seem obvious to the cultural cues that seem obvious to the Next Generation and by 50 the Gap the Next Generation and by 50 the Gap the Next Generation and by 50 the Gap gets significant now the good news is gets significant now the good news is gets significant now the good news is that jenzy and Millennials are very very that jenzy and Millennials are very very that jenzy and Millennials are very very open to spending time with Gen X and open to spending time with Gen X and open to spending time with Gen X and Boomers so how do you do a reverse Boomers so how do you do a reverse Boomers so how do you do a reverse mentoring where you learn from younger mentoring where you learn from younger mentoring where you learn from younger people well you can do this through people well you can do this through people well you can do this through creating intergenerational small groups creating intergenerational small groups creating intergenerational small groups hosting dinner parties or just simply hosting dinner parties or just simply hosting dinner parties or just simply honestly building an authentic honestly building an authentic honestly building an authentic friendship with people younger than you friendship with people younger than you friendship with people younger than you now if you want to do it a little more now if you want to do it a little more now if you want to do it a little more formally it is a very good idea to formally it is a very good idea to formally it is a very good idea to convene meetings and focus groups with convene meetings and focus groups with convene meetings and focus groups with teens and young adults in your church teens and young adults in your church teens and young adults in your church when you're doing anything from planning when you're doing anything from planning when you're doing anything from planning a sermon series to strategic planning a sermon series to strategic planning a sermon series to strategic planning you need younger leaders at the table you need younger leaders at the table you need younger leaders at the table with a voice and a vote shift number six with a voice and a vote shift number six with a voice and a vote shift number six schedule your time off now hey I know schedule your time off now hey I know schedule your time off now hey I know it's the beginning of the year but this it's the beginning of the year but this it's the beginning of the year but this isn't just good advice it's survival

up a little bit here is devote more time up a little bit here is devote more time to exploring AI so one final shift you to exploring AI so one final shift you to exploring AI so one final shift you can make is by exploring Ai and by that can make is by exploring Ai and by that can make is by exploring Ai and by that I mean learning about it and actually I mean learning about it and actually I mean learning about it and actually using it don't just read articles okay using it don't just read articles okay using it don't just read articles okay actually dive in now if you're skeptical actually dive in now if you're skeptical actually dive in now if you're skeptical by now you realize that you use AI every by now you realize that you use AI every by now you realize that you use AI every day if you're using Google Maps or day if you're using Google Maps or day if you're using Google Maps or Spotify or Netflix guess what Alexa Spotify or Netflix guess what Alexa Spotify or Netflix guess what Alexa you're using AI cuz those are all AI you're using AI cuz those are all AI you're using AI cuz those are all AI powered but wise leaders are going to go powered but wise leaders are going to go powered but wise leaders are going to go beyond that and they're going to figure beyond that and they're going to figure beyond that and they're going to figure out how to leverage AI to free up more out how to leverage AI to free up more out how to leverage AI to free up more time for what matters most for example time for what matters most for example time for what matters most for example here's how one thing I use I use here's how one thing I use I use here's how one thing I use I use notebook LM it's an incredible resource notebook LM it's an incredible resource notebook LM it's an incredible resource that keeps getting better so I have to that keeps getting better so I have to that keeps getting better so I have to read a lot of books I read some books read a lot of books I read some books read a lot of books I read some books for fun and pleasure and personal growth for fun and pleasure and personal growth for fun and pleasure and personal growth others I have to read for work right but others I have to read for work right but others I have to read for work right but here's what's cool about notebook LM it here's what's cool about notebook LM it here's what's cool about notebook LM it can digest a 300 page book in about 30 can digest a 300 page book in about 30 can digest a 300 page book in about 30 seconds and it will give you accurate seconds and it will give you accurate seconds and it will give you accurate summaries with citations and links back summaries with citations and links back summaries with citations and links back to the book so with one click you can to the book so with one click you can to the book so with one click you can make sure it's not hallucinating it make sure it's not hallucinating it make sure it's not hallucinating it rarely does and the fun thing about AI rarely does and the fun thing about AI rarely does and the fun thing about AI is it keeps improving the other neat is it keeps improving the other neat is it keeps improving the other neat thing about notebook LM is with one more thing about notebook LM is with one more thing about notebook LM is with one more click you can generate an AI generated click you can generate an AI generated click you can generate an AI generated podcast about the topic so if you want podcast about the topic so if you want podcast about the topic so if you want to listen to it you can just download to listen to it you can just download to listen to it you can just download that next time you're into car you're at that next time you're into car you're at that next time you're into car you're at the gym you can listen to a podcast the gym you can listen to a podcast the gym you can listen to a podcast generated by AI on the book that it has generated by AI on the book that it has generated by AI on the book that it has digested so Church specific digested so Church specific digested so Church specific organizations like church.
