Contending for the Rising Generations: Winning Millennials and Gen Z with the Hope of the Gospel

Teens and young adults today don't have much in common with the Baby Boomers and Gen X who came before them. Today’s youth are increasingly lost and broken, insecure and uncertain of their identity. They don’t know where to find hope, and instead of running to the church they are running from it. They're not worried about going to hell; they are already going through hell.

After nearly forty years in youth ministry, Sean Dunn, Groundwire Founder & CEO, details who today's young people are, what they are looking for, and how to present Jesus as the answer to what they are craving. Young people right now are open to the gospel message—unlike at any other time in history. Dunn is observing rising numbers of desperate Millennials and Gen Z being captured by the love of Jesus every day.

In Contending for the Rising Generations, Dunn shares the messaging that is bringing millions of young people to Christ and calls on older Christians to join him in rescuing a lost generation. Drawing from proven experience, Dunn provides practical steps to connect the hurting young people in our lives to the God who offers them eternal life.
