How Can Jaded Millennials Renew their Experience with God?
In the churning waters of emerging adulthood amplified by a tumultuous economy, those known as millennials born between 1980 and 2000 are establishing the trajectory for the rest of their lives. This unstable climate has caused some millennials to feel as if they’re stuck or stalling in their faith, as well as their life direction, leaving many wondering if there’s more to experiencing God than what they already know.
To the dissatisfied, discouraged and disenchanted, youth speaker Mike Guzzardo reassures, “You don’t have to settle for spiritual mediocrity!” In his new book All In: Finding True Life on the Path to Total Surrender, Mike speaks to the no. 1 issue he observes surfacing among young adults in his national speaking ministry: spiritual dissatisfaction.
The reason for this dissatisfaction, Mike says, is a critical disconnect between the information we know about God and the application in our lives. “In short, we don’t experience very much of God and His promises because we have chosen to settle–content to remain in camp far down the mountain…but we don’t have to stay there! God is bursting at the seams to lead us onward so we can experience His abundant life to the full.”
Mike describes God’s instructions in Scripture as a treasure map leading the way toward this life to the full, and All In illuminates each step of the way for anyone who has ever wondered:
• Why do I feel as if I am stalling instead of transforming in my faith?
• How can I hear God speak in my life?
• Am I missing something spiritually, or is there more?
• How can I navigate the life choices ahead of me with God’s guidance?
• How can I overcome temptations that I’ve given in to over and over?
• Why am I not experiencing God’s promises in my life?
The largest generation in America is standing at a crossroad, at a pivotal and vulnerable time when they are transitioning into adulthood and making life-altering choices. Will they plug into a new church away at college or start sleeping late on Sundays? Will they establish a spiritual identity of their own apart from a family-oriented faith, or will they walk away from Christ? To emerging adults paving their way, All In offers a clear and compelling treasure map for the abundant life God longs to give us all.
