God’s Perspective on Gen Z w/ Jessika Tate
“He is who we think He is—He is good, He is kind, He is healer, He is faithful.” - Jessika Tate There is only one thing required to live a life yielded to the purposes of Heaven—our unending “yes”. Living in love with Jesus can lead us to many destinations, marking those around us with an invitation to know His passionate pursuit, no matter their circumstance or situation. In this episode, Liz connects with Jessika Tate, who is a missionary to war-zones, an international speaker, and an author of the book The Bartimaeus Generation: Unlocking the Multigenerational Secret of the Coming Revival. A missionary since age 18 after a salvation experience just two years prior, Jessika has ministered in nations around the world and now leads a movement of young female leaders called to transform the world for Christ. Liz and Jessika discuss her journey as a missionary in warzones, her pursuit of healing from PTSD, her unexpected calling to the younger generations, and what it means to live in love with Christ, yielded to His will. From age 16, when she first encountered Christ, Jessika gave Him her unending “yes”, taking her around the world and into some of the darkest and most dangerous places with the light of the Gospel. After years of working in warzones, Jessika needed healing, and pursued God for that healing. In that place, she had to answer the question that we all must answer when faced with challenges: “Is He really who He says He is?” As the Lord met and restored her, she discovered His faithfulness and His heart for the nations, and for the generations. Now, Jessika raises up young female leaders called to release the power and passion of Christ to the world. With a deep heart for the younger generations, Jessika and her team feel called to equip and declare the heart and vision of God over Gen Z and other generations like it, inviting them to step out of comfort and into the unknown with God. She does this by grabbing ahold of His heart for them, and His perspective, and speaks those words of life over them—something we are all called to do. As Jessika closes the episode, she releases a prayer that each of us would walk in a deeper and richer intimacy with the presence of God—that we would experience a oneness with Him that would transform our lives, the world around us, and the generations to come.

Like Blind Bartimaeus in the Gospels, they are crying out to God in desperation—and He is answering. In The Bartimaeus Generation, Jessika infuses you with wisdom and boldness to recognize and reject the deceptive spirit of religion so that you can seize the supernaturally charged move of God at hand now. You can join this generation crying out with a holy hunger that captures Jesus’ attention and sets up divine encounters.
