The 19 year old got baptized this past Sunday.

My 19 year old.

It was a pretty incredible day. Proud is an understatement. 💛

And look at all the young adults standing behind him.

Y’all.

This generation gets a bad rap, and they shouldn’t. These kiddos cried, smiled, clapped, praised, hugged, fist-bumped, and did all the celebrating for their friend on his big day.

These kids showed up.

The emotions they carried were real. The pride for their friend was real. Jesus radiating off of them was real.

I see a generation rising up. I see a generation of young adults that love Jesus. I see a generation that wants to be the good and do all the good that they can.

As for my generation, we need to step up, too. We need to stop complaining about what “they” do wrong and see all that they do right. We need to train them up just like the Bible says to do.

I see them, and I’m excited to watch them grow and go.

They are gonna do big things.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20
