Greene, Brown and McReynolds Discuss Millennial Flight With Essence
Anthony Brown, Travis Greene and Jonathan McReynolds shared with Essence Magazine their thoughts on why the church is losing millenials. The trifecta was highlighted by Kirk Franklin as “the future of gospel music” at last year’s Grammy Awards, when Franklin won Best Gospel Performance, telling the audience that, “During a time when millennials leaving the church is a major headline and diversity in gospel music is criticized, they offer a fresh perspective on what it means to have an artistic, authentic ministry grounded in faith.” The article discusses the age old question of should gospel artists collaborate with secular artists and the relevance of artistry with the Gospel. Brown articulates summarily, “The most important thing to me is that when people do look at us, we look like Jesus.” Check out the insightful article here.
