Hey Crashers, We hope you’re having a great week!
We recently started using the newly redesigned Alpha Youth series in our church plant—and let’s just say it’s a game-changer. The creativity, storytelling, and relevance are next level. So, we reached out to the man behind it, Dan Blythe, Global Youth Director for Alpha, to hear the story behind the risks, reinvention, and radical creativity that shaped this project.
In this edition, we dive into the messy and beautiful intersection of faith, doubt, imposter syndrome, and the creative process. We unpack what it really takes to reimagine something for a new generation, how emerging technology is reshaping evangelism, and the bold bets required to create something with lasting impact.
Plus… For paid subscribers, we go behind the scenes as Dan shares how to harness creativity to reach millions, the biggest risks Alpha took to reimagine their offering, and how to stay ahead in an AI-saturated world where fake news battles truth.
Let’s jump in!
Grace and Peace,
Rich & Cass
