In this episode of YoungAdults.Today, Josiah and Micah sit down with Pastor Sam Hernandez, Young Adults Pastor at Elevation Church, to unpack how Elevation is reaching what many call “the loneliest generation.”
Sam shares the journey of building a multi-site young adult ministry across 20+ locations through worship nights (Chapel), YA nights, e-groups, clubs, and outreach. She talks candidly about the tension between image management and spiritual intimacy, the power of doing it doubting, and why authentic social media is one of the most strategic tools in young adult ministry today.
Whether you’re just trying to get a handful of young adults together or scaling across multiple campuses, this conversation is packed with practical handles, social strategy, and soul-level encouragement.
