The Spiritual Journey of Young Adults, Steven Argue – Video and Discussion Outline
Dr. Steven Argue discusses the spiritual journeys of young adults.
Questions for Discussion:
- What does it mean to consider that this is where many of our youth are headed?
- What might it look like to foster this kind of questioning and doubting, such that “intellectual struggle” need not have “relational fallout,” as Argue has seen in our college students?
- How might we plant seeds so that our eventual college students and young adults can feel supported in that next stage of development?
