Episode The Most Dangerous Years Spiritually (18–29) — What Churches Must Do Now with Daniel Young
Two-thirds of young adults (18–29) have walked away from church… but we’re also seeing an all‑time high in Bible sales driven by young adults, plus millions returning to a personal commitment to Jesus.
In this episode of youngadults.today, Josiah and Micah sit down with Daniel Young (Young Adults & Student Pastor at Eagle Brook Church) to talk about:
• His prodigal story and how Jesus recaptured his heart as a young adult • Why the young adult years are the most spiritually dangerous years • Real stats on deconstruction, disaffiliation, and the surprising comeback • How Eagle Brook reaches young adults across 14 campuses • Third spaces, after-parties, and creating transformational relationships • How to disciple young adults so they don’t just love youth group… they love the Church • Daniel’s top advice for young communicators: love the Bible, guard your private devotion, and love people well
Whether you’re a young adult, a pastor, or a ministry leader, this conversation will give you vision, language, and practical ideas for reaching the next generation.
