In this episode of Young Adults Today, Josiah and Micah sit down with Pastor Dan LaCella from Ohio to talk about why young adult ministry is not optional for the local church anymore. Dan shares: • Why the young adult decade (roughly 18–30) is so spiritually strategic • How a local young adult ministry helped him “own” his faith at a secular university • What God is doing among young adults across Ohio—and how it parallels the movement in Minnesota • Why this generation is hungry for depth, doctrine, and authenticity, not just coffee and games • How ancient spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, contemplation, sacraments) meet the needs of a digital, distracted age If you’re a pastor, young adult leader, or a twenty-something wondering where you fit in God’s mission, this conversation will fuel your faith and give you practical vision for the future. www.youngadults.today
