When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8)

Jesus’s question is one that should bother all Christians. The number of faithful teenagers in America has been diminishing from one generation to the next. Today, ninety-six percent of those born between 1998 and 2013 don’t believe in the Bible, absolute moral truth, or a supreme, loving, all-powerful Creator. They don’t even believe in the concept of sin.

We have failed the biblical command to pass our faith from one generation to the next.

Yet youth specialist Jeff Grenell believes this trend is reversible. In fact, he says, once we stop doing youth ministry in a Nickelodeon way for teenagers living in a Stranger Things world, we will see the spiritual awakening we’ve been praying for.

Next Gen Faith: 12 Spiritual Practices for Youth is designed to provide key steps for spiritual formation for Christian adults who work with youth as well as families, teens, and young adults seeking such a resource. With group discussion outlines written by youth leaders, it includes foundational, outward, and inward disciplines with the goal of drawing people closer to our awesome, powerful God.

Next Gen Faith captures the essence of what’s needed to raise godly young people who will become tomorrow’s leaders, offering pointers for youth ministries based on theology and discipleship.
