In this episode, Josiah and Micah sit down with Pastor Josh Dillon from New Life Church, Colorado, to talk about calling, hidden seasons, and building a healthy, intergenerational young adult ministry. Josh shares his story of walking away from God, encountering Jesus again in late high school, and the 7–8 year journey from sensing a call to finally stepping into pastoral ministry. Together they unpack how to engage 18–29-year-olds, raise the bar for leadership without losing people, and invite older generations into the discipleship story.
