Where is God moving among the next generation, and how do we join Him?

In part two, Sean and Dave unpack the heartbeat of Student Mobilization (StuMo) and the surprising spiritual hunger rising on secular college campuses. They reveal how simple relational connection, lifting weights, asking good questions, sharing meals, opening their homes, creates trust that opens the door for the gospel to take root in powerful ways.

You’ll hear stories of fraternity men leaving addiction behind, young leaders courageously enduring pushback as they choose Jesus, and entire friend groups watching the gospel spread through lived-out transformation. Sean and Dave also share how local men in the church play a crucial role in discipling these students, filling a wisdom gap only seasoned believers can provide.

This episode is both inspiring and challenging, inviting every man listening to see college campuses as fertile ground and to consider stepping into the harvest.

Listen with an open heart and consider how God might be calling you to invest in the spiritual awakening unfolding among young men and women right here in our own backyard.
