“Okay Boomer” has become part of the cultural vernacular. Unfamiliar with the phrase? Let me translate. Boomers are, of course, those born in the Baby Boom generation, between 1946 and 1964. The phrase is an insult, implying that someone is out of touch. 

So how do we close the generational gap between us and today’s youth? The simplest first step is to learn about the things that interest them. Learn how to play the video game they love, watch the latest season of their favorite show, read about the struggles they face—get in touch, close the gap.  

Here’s some good news: unlike culture, God never changes. Scripture reminds us time and again that His love is eternal, a gift to the generations—from Boomers to Gen Z and beyond.
