Hi, this is Jonathan Lehman.

This is Mark Devere.

And welcome to this episode of Nine Marks Pastors Talk.

Nine Marks exist to help pastors build healthy churches and learn more at Nine Marks.

I've got all the way through that.

Unbelievable.

Our topic today is college students and reaching them and disciplining them. And we have a couple of guests.

But before I introduce them, so the question is that we're considering do we want this to be

the last generation of Christians? Okay. Explain. That's why we're talking about this topic.

Christianity is not something you can be born into. I mean, you can't be born into a Christian family,

but presumably in that family, you know, your daughters hear from you, the gospel.

And if the parents just decide, hey, let's not tell them. And no one else tells them,

then Christianity dies with us. Okay, but you just used my daughter as an example. I'm thinking

about college students in particular. Why is that

such a fruitful time for evangelism and disciplining? I think because we're making a lot of our decisions

as adults for the first time, a lot of people. I think it's probably a smaller percentage now than 50

years ago. I don't know. Paul, do you know about that? No, I think it's still a big time to make decisions.

Oh, I agree with that.

I just percentage of the population I'm thinking.

It's sort of away from home and in a college situation.

Yeah, probably less.

Anyway, but still it's a lot of people.
