The Generation Gap Myth That's Killing Church Growth

"Older members won't use technology" is the biggest lie holding churches back from growth.

Here's the exact approach that gets 90% of resistant members engaged:

1. Pair each tech-hesitant member with a "tech buddy" (not their grandkid!)

2. Give buddies this script: "I'm learning this new church app. Want to figure it out together?"

3. Meet for 15 minutes after service for 3 weeks

4. Focus on ONE feature per week (never overwhelm)

The magic word? "Together." Never "let me show you" - always "let's learn together."

Proof: 87-year-old Sister Johnson now leads our church's prayer request group on Facebook because her tech buddy made her feel capable, not helpless.

This buddy system is just one component of my generational bridge-building framework that's helped churches unite all age groups around digital ministry.
