Over 20 years ago, as I sat on my front porch, the Lord spoke to me: raise up a generation in My love and in My power, a Moses generation that will lead My Church out of her Egypts.

This word to my heart has been a guiding light for me over the last two decades of ministry. It has determined how I have ordered much of my life. Working with youth and young adults can be profoundly difficult at times, especially when they deal with same-sex attractions! But the fruit has made it every bit worth it.

Now I have the privilege of seeing many of the young men and women I have ministered to over the years enjoying marriage and family. The vast majority have remained stalwart and faithful to the Lord, even though culture (and sadly many churches) has given them license to fall away from the Lord’s Biblical standard for sex and sexuality. I am so proud of each one of them. Their perseverance gives me strength and zeal to continue serving the next generation.

And the Lord continues to bring young people through my door! I must tell you, despite all that is happening in and to the next generation, I HAVE GREAT HOPE. God is on the move!! I wish I could introduce you to the amazing young “Gen Zers” with whom I am currently meeting. Yes, they are struggling with some really big stuff, BUT GOD is meeting them where they are at and healing their hearts.

I have a higher vision for the next generation. I believe we are on the verge of a great move of God amongst young people. God is still God, and He knows how to perfectly Father Gen Z.

I HAVE GREAT TRUST in the leadership of Jesus in the leadership of Jesus over the next generation. Yes, God is up to something, and I can’t wait to watch it unfold. If you would like to hear more about the leadership of Jesus over Gen Z and some testimonies from some of my recent conversations with young people you can watch this video I just released.
