So you’re a young adult, living in an era of tech, tech, tech, and busy, busy, busy. This fine age, this journey into adulthood, has a sure way of making life feel consumed with responsibilities – jobs, assignments, projects and careers. Amidst the to-do lists and the distractions, however, we must remember that today is a precious gift. It is essential for us to connect, to grow, and to be sharpened together with our neighbors through local ministries.
