In her sermon "The Church Today, The Leaders of Tomorrow," Lana emphasizes the pivotal role of the current church in nurturing and discipling its youth, who are not merely the future but an integral part of the church today. Drawing from the story of Samuel and Eli, she underscores that the Holy Spirit speaks to all, regardless of age. Adults are called to mentor young people, helping them discover and use their spiritual gifts, thereby fostering a community where youth feel valued and connected. Citing statistics on youth disengagement, Lana stresses the importance of meaningful relationships with multiple adults and the active use of their gifts within the church. She introduces a four-step discipleship model and issues a call to action for both youth and adults to engage in reciprocal discipleship, ensuring the church's vitality and leadership succession.
