I Never Thought This Design Trend Would Return to Church

Hey, it’s Brady,

I recently had dinner with a lead pastor. He and I are both in our mid-30s.

He told me about a design trend returning to churches.

It shook me to my core.

Plants on stage.

If there’s one thing Millennials campaigned against in church -

…it was to get the fake plants off the stage!

But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Gen Z maximalism is replacing Millennial minimalism.

Have you seen a Gen Z apartment?

It’s a plant paradise!

And to my great delight, churches are already trailblazing this trend in amazing ways.

Take, for instance, Eden Church in Houston.

They describe it as: ‘a garden in the city.’

And honestly? I’m all for it.

No notes. This is stunning. Consider this Millennial converted.

Bring back the plants!

Let’s just opt for real instead of fake this time.

And how are the people feeling about this trend?

Let’s just say…it’s a mix.

Brutally Honest Truths for Millennials in Church

Let’s keep the Millennial conversation going. Not a Millennial? Keep scrolling. The old people in the room need to have a chat.

In all seriousness, there’s a changing of the guard happening in ministry right now.

And if you're a Millennial, and you're not careful, you are doomed to make the mistakes the generation before us did.

Thanks as always for your time, attention, and trust. - Brady Shearer
