The Dwindling Desire to Grow Up
part 1
How do we address this cultural issue of students not wanting to step into adulthood?
A recent survey from Intelligent.com, where they surveyed employers on interviewing young adults today, tells us that 53% of young adults struggle with eye contact, 47% dress inappropriately for the interview, 27% use inappropriate language while in the interview, and 19% brought a parent with them to their interview.
We are seeing a lack of maturity from young adults in today’s culture. In this episode, Brody walks through 7 issues we need to address with the mentality some young adults may have. Our goal as parents, youth pastors, and mentors is to see the students under us step into adulthood with confidence, and the qualities we see in 1 Corinthians 13:11.
Let’s encourage and equip the young adults we know by pointing them to the Lord and showing them what Christ calls them to be.
