They could have created an e-zine or a blog, but intentionally made a printed magazine, Generate Magazine, as a platform to bring together the many voices of the church and to show what is happening in the church and all the many streams of emerging Christian thinking and practice. The creators of Generate Magazine (Makeesha Fischer, Paul Soupiset, & Tim Snyder) talk with Spencer Burke, host of ThinkFWD, about the inaugural edition which has been at least two years in the making. Their desire is to include art, articles, poetry, and other media and to flatten the playing field. “There have been many great books written about emerging Church, but only a very few voices are heard through books,” say the magazine’s creators. “A lot of contributors in this first edition have never been published before, and a magazine format allows many more people to participate.”
What are they looking for in terms of art and articles for future magazines? They want voices from communities of faith that have a Kingdom hope. Many of these stories are local or regional and so their stories may not get a wide audience. This magazine is a place to tell those stories. It is also a place for art, simply for art’s sake—not as illustration of something else, or as a supporting element, but just for the value of the art. If you are an artist, a poet, a thinker, Generate Magazine is a forum for you. Its creators say, “Look for the gaps in this magazine, and in the larger conversation. When you see them, fill them. If in a year, this magazine only represents one voice, one perspective, then it has failed. Because when we have many expressions of Christianity, many voices, many streams of emerging faith—then we represent the body of Christ, and the bigness of God.”
Personal Reflections:
- How do you feel about the importance of word and image–the power of art as a lead component rather than a support component?
- How can you fill in the gaps in the conversation? What is a story of Kingdom hope you can share with a friend this week?
Small Group or Staff Questions:
- As a community, what physical artifacts could we develop to help tell your story?
- In a world beyond “permission” i.e. YouTube, Blogs, what platforms can we create to bridge the many streams of faith in our community?

I liked what I saw and have subscribed. Looks like a very well-done magazine, but I’m especially excited about including other voices. I’m letting others know about Generate and I hope that it gets a strong readership. I’ll do my part to get the word out and then some.
