College Ministry: Understanding the Millennial ‘Hook-Up’ Culture

Bryan Sands, director of campus ministries at Hope International University in Fullerton, California, and author of Everyone Loves Sex: So Why Wait? A Discussion in Sexual Faithfulness, led a six-session small-group study based on the book. In the video below, Bryan and several students discuss the dating scene for American college students—including the culture of “hooking up”—and how Christians can be faithful to Christ in the midst of temptation.

An Invitation to Pray

Praying specific can become an exciting adventure and partnership with God– truly seeking to pray the heart, mind and will of the Father!

Expect to Be Different

Avoiding interaction with the world will ensure not only that the world dies but that your church will too. This is the way salt works: it is either used proactively or it becomes destructive to the one who has it.

The Strengths of Smaller Healthy Churches

Small churches can create a family environment for disconnected people if they lean into the built-in intimacy they already have.
