Young adults today feel enormous pressure to get the right grades, participate in the right extracurriculars and gain the right leadership experiences. Simultaneously, they're also pushing for greater independence from their parents and asking bigger questions of the church. College promises answers and fulfillment, but social interactions on campus rarely deliver anything except deeper disillusionment. But by the time young adults wake up to this reality, they find their support system - family, faith, and friends - has long since been left behind.


Young adults are struggling to find purpose. On the surface things look great, but internally they're asking, 'Is this all there is?' Suicide rates among adolescents have been steadily climbing since 2007; the Pew Research Center continues to show kids who grew up in Christian homes are walking away from their faith. Delivering Your Future addresses the question of why young adults are finding despair, not hope, in college then provides a plan to fight this epidemic.


Author, David Morgan, draws on his wealth of experience in education, ministry and business to speak wisdom into the lives of a new generation of Christian leaders; at the same time, his own battle with depression during college makes his words relevant to students today.


Who am I and what's my purpose? Is this all there is? Can I pull my life together so I can be meaningful and productive? In Delivering Your Future, young adults can find a safe space to ask these and other difficult questions. Addressing these problems before they reach college can help create honest dialogue with youth pastors, parents and mentors. Delivering Your Future provides practical and honest strategies for identifying and overcoming the pitfalls of college.

David Morgan

Dave Morgan was born in Melbourne in 1948. He, his twin Don, older brother Gerald and sister Sybil (Patsy) were raised single-handedly by their mother, Sybella, widowed when husband Gerald (Gus) died suddenly during her pregnancy with the twins. With a childhood filled with many moves due to Sybella’s ill heath and her need to find work, Dave found adventure and a taste for travelling. He joined the Citizens Military Force in his sub-senior year and took private flying lessons, eventually joining the Army at the end of the school year.

On 1 January 1969, he left his family in Brisbane for Vietnam as part of the 104 Signal Squadron. During his term, he served at several fire support bases and dealt with attacks by the Viet Cong. During one of those attacks, his pit hole engulfed him, and after he returned to an unsympathetic Australia, he started reliving that experience night after night.

He hid it well from all but his family – wife Deb and children David and Michelle. They moved around Queensland for Dave’s job as a Technical Officer (Weather Observer) for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, but his desire for isolation led him to expeditions at Macquarie Island and Davis Station. A few hours after he arrived at Casey Station for his next expedition, he slipped on blue ice and his severe head and neck injury forced a medivac back to the mainland.

Now retired, Dave is seeking treatment for his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which Antarctica finally made him acknowledge he had it.
