Reaching the NextSample

In Purpose

“Young adults are searching for purpose, even if they don’t admit it. How do I know? Listen to the questions they are constantly asking: 'What am I supposed to do with my life?', 'How do I know who I’m supposed to do life with?', 'What does God want for my life?', 'How do I get clarity on my next step?' All of these questions revolve around the idea of purpose.

I believe that those of us who work with twenty-somethings (or any level of ministry for that matter), have to be so intentional and laser-focused on what we are offering our people and what we are calling them to. You have to take your people on a journey, and I believe people will trust you to take them on that journey if you can help them find purpose in the areas of life they care most about. 

Over the years, our ministry has identified these areas based on the most frequent questions, conversations, and struggles we hear from our people, and what’s interesting, is all of these are foundational aspects of life. These are the areas in which we help young adults find purpose: purpose in dating, community, work, and faith.”
