What if the ancient prophets of Scripture could help us finally understand the generations sitting beside us in the pews?
In Prophet to the Generations, pastor and Bible teacher Michelle J. Morris draws on her experience leading an eight-generation United Methodist congregation to bridge the gap between Isaiah and Instagram, Jeremiah and Boomers, Ezekiel and Millennials, and more. With warmth, clarity, and a pastor's wit, she pairs each of today's five central generations with a major biblical prophet, showing how their hopes, wounds, fears, and blind spots often mirror one another in surprising ways.
Far from dusty voices from a distant past, the prophets emerge as truth-tellers who still speak into church conflicts, political anxiety, social media outrage, and the lingering disorientation of events like the COVID-19 pandemic. Along the way, Morris unpacks what prophets really are (and aren't), why their strange symbolic actions still matter, and how their calls to justice, compassion, and faithfulness can heal divides in our families and congregations.
Designed with pastors, church leaders, and small groups in mind, each chapter offers accessible biblical teaching real-world generational insight, and discussion questions that invite honest conversation across age lines. Prophet to the Generations will help your church move beyond generational stereotypes and "culture war" fatigue toward a deeper shared story grounded in God's Word.
Whether you're Silent, Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, Gen Z-or trying to shepherd all of the above-this book will help you hear the prophets anew and see your neighbors, and yourself, with fresh grace and hope.
