Now she's unpacking the lie killing Gen Z's faith, what it means to be truly planted in a church, and the Bible study method that changed her walk with God. 1:47:25 no <p>Pastor Travis sits down with Emy Moore Brookins — content creator, minister, and wife of Malik Brookins — for a raw conversation about faith, influence, and getting rooted in Christ. Emy went viral at 16 with zero faith background, then found Jesus at 17 through a neighbor's "dining table ministry" and a prophetic word — though it took two years of sanctification before her life actually caught up to her salvation. In this episode, Emy and Travis dig into why she believes Gen Z's entitlement is really a symptom of deep neglect, the line between influencing and unintentionally becoming a teacher, what it looks like to be "planted" instead of a tumbleweed Christian, and the real difference between genuine church hurt and the buzzword version. She closes out by walking through POIMA — her personal Bible study framework (Prayer, Observation, Interpretation, Meditation, Application) — and prays over pastors and listeners to close the episode. </p> Emy Moore Brookins, Malik Brookins, Travis Hearn, Impact Church, Gen Z faith, church hurt, planted not planted, tumbleweed Christians, Christian influencer, discipleship, sanctification, POIMA Bible study, Bible study method, faith and social media, testimony, salvation story, Christian marriage, church hopping, local church, Scottsdale Arizona, Orlando Florida Pastor Travis sits down with Emy Moore Brookins — content creator, minister, and wife of Malik Brookins — for a raw conversation about faith, influence, and getting rooted in Christ.
