A good book full of hope discussion deep issues of calling and purpose and faith.
This book I think is best read rather than listened to on audiobook but it was included on audible and had been on my “want to read” for a while so I took the opportunity. The narration is pretty bland and I found myself switching off a few times, there are also tables referred to throughout which obviously are not included in the audio book.
One all ministers and people in positions of leadership in the church should read. It is inspiring and hopeful, full of great ideas and studies that would benefit churches and the young people of the church especially.

It feels a little like practicing the way / john mark comer girlies but from a stats angle instead of a “practices of Jesus” angle, which I enjoyed.
Some points were insightful, others felt unrelated / unsupported.
Overall a good read and a good look at the younger generation (millennials and gen-z) and faith.

Fascinating read for anyone interested in making disciples in the modern western world. It may be hard, but there is hope!

This is an important book for anyone involved with discipleship in the 2020s. Research-based, yet with a strong element of spirituality, the authors lay out five practices for discipleship in the modern era.
I will be getting a hard-copy for my reference library, as I do believe this is important for the kind of work I do. One of the key practices is #4:
To ground and motivate an ambitious generation, train for vocational discipleship.
Vocational discipleship means knowing and living God's calling, especially in the arena of work, and right-sizing our ambitions to God's purposes.
Vocational aspirations of young, practicing Christians fell into three categories:
Vocations of Abundance (Entrepreneurship)
Vocations of Order (STEM, Math, Science)
Vocations of Beauty (Creatives)
The point of the practice is how we should lead people into seeing the power of their calling in light of the Gospel and the Kingdom.
Great read. Important read. Recommended read -- especially if you're in any kind of ministry setting.

This is so helpful and informative. It is great information about this generation and I really appreciate that they don’t take a fully negative view about social media. This book is just learning how students navigate it and how to be a kingdom citizen in this world.

Just super helpful. Helpful for lead pastors, helpful for church eldership, helpful for youth and young adult leaders, helpful for parents. Helpful for anyone who wants to resiliently follow Jesus for the long haul in this "Digital Babylon" and help others to do the same. I will reference this book for a long time. So good.
