We are always working at understanding the current generation and those to whom we minister. The issue of porn is a growing one...and particularly in relationship to young women. It used to be considered a guy's issue. An argument can be made for this being the top issue. However, I don't think it is.
The TOP THREE ISSUES are:
1. Loneliness
2. Anxiety
3. Lack of Community
This was said in a planning meeting this week with a group of college ministry pros and and I agree. Quite simply, these are the result of our tech generation. Young adults look at social media and see that others are "living a perfect life". Something must be wrong with them is the feeling. Because our phones occupy us, our society is losing the ability to communicate and connect.
Do you agree that these are the top ISSUES? How is your ministry working to deal with these issues? Understanding the issues is always part of the solution. Loving college students is always part of the solution. So, get off your phone or computer and go love on some college students....please. And, thanks for doing it!
