Young adults aren’t bored with the Bible… they’re bored with shallow expressions of it. In this episode of the Young Adults Today podcast, Josiah and Micah unpack the 7 biggest trends shaping young adult ministry in 2026– and what they mean for your church, campus, and calling.

🔍 In this episode, we cover:

  1. Why community is eclipsing content for Gen Z & young adults
  2. Why young adults are hungry for depth, not hype
  3. How young adult ministry is growing but fragile (only 5% are established)
  4. Why young adult leaders need more support than most churches realize
  5. The rising desire for intergenerational mentoring & discipleship
  6. How ministry is shifting from programmatic to deeply relational
  7. Why churches are reawakening to the strategic importance of young adult ministry
