“We don’t have a next gen problem, we have a discipleship problem.”

In this powerful and personal episode of Unscripted, Dino and DeLynn Rizzo sit down with Grant and Cheyanne Skeldon—leaders, bridge-builders, and voices to the next generation.

From their garage-turned-studio in Franklin, TN, the Skeldons open up about the loneliness many young Christian leaders face, the vital role of intentional discipleship, and how building core memories can matter more than consuming more content. You’ll hear their story of launching THINQ, investing in young leaders across the country, and helping plant Way Church with Noah and Maddie Herrin.

Whether you’re a church planter, mentor, or just navigating how to stay faithful in today’s world, this episode is full of practical wisdom and timely encouragement—especially around:

Creating safe spaces where leaders can "take their cape off"
Why discipleship is the real next gen strategy
What to do when you're running ahead of Jesus’ pace
The importance of mentoring and building leaders who last
How to get effectively and creatively engage your community

Don’t miss this authentic conversation about faith, friendship, and the future of the Church.
