Forged

Emerging adults feel the ache of loneliness and long to belong. They are also exiting the American church at such a dramatic clip that the fundamental spiritual fabric of our country will be eroded over the next thirty years. Christian leaders who create family-like communities of belonging will reverse these trends, reach and form young adults, and will help pioneer the next great awakening.

To imagine renewal, one must take a closer look at the emerging adult life-stage. In this book readers will learn more about the fires of life that every Millennial and GenZ experiences in their twenties, and how to use these fires to forge emerging adults together into discipleship communities. Any church leader can use the forged-family principles to develop the raw, unmasked, vulnerable, and intimate Jesus communities for which young adults long to be a part.

This is a moment, unlike any we have experienced in our lifetimes past, to be bold, think fresh, and to imagine what an in-breaking dawn of awakening would look like for these generations and the church. Now is the time to pursue church-as-family.
