Was Gen-Z at TGC? Beginning with that strange question, today’s episode of the FTC Podcast transitions to a conversation about the calling of young adults for Christ’s kingdom. At some point in the last fifty years, our society began to see the young adult years as a season of life when you can just “figure things out” and have as much fun as possible while you do. Of course, our teens and twenties can be fun. And no college student or young adult in a first job can know what the next ten to fifteen years will hold. But these decades are also the launching pad for the rest of your life. Young adults will have opportunities to make an eternal difference. After all, they’re on mission now. Jesus’s commissioning is all that is needed to love God, love people, and witness to the truth of the gospel. Jared Wilson visits with returning guest, author and pastor Jeremy Writebol, about his new book Make It Your Ambition, which presents young adults with seven worthy pursuits to ignite young people’s imaginations to discover what a life marked by robust, gospel-fueled, and Spirit-filled obedience can look like.
