Summary
Pretty often, JP Pokluda's name crosses in front of me, so I've known of him for a long time. But this was our first time getting to be friends. But I knew when I was gathering up experts on the next generation, he was one of the dudes I wanted to speak into this series.
So far our experts have been talking to us about middle and high schoolers (mostly), but JP is here to talk college (mostly). :) We're also gonna hit a few other topics I think you will love- like hearing God, accountability, and JP's next steps.
His new book Welcome to Adulting: Navigating Faith, Friendship, Finances, and the Future is SUCH a gift for anyone walking through that young adult life phase.

| 0:16.4 | So happy to be with you here on another Monday. I love doing Monday and Thursday shows. I hope |
| 0:21.6 | you all are enjoying those as well. The music in the background is from our good friend |
| 0:25.4 | Mr. John McLaughlin, his new album, Anxton Grace is a very favorite of mine. I hope you've got |
| 0:30.0 | a minute. Our series continues today. We've been doing conversations about the next generation. Amy |

| 0:42.8 | Pecluda who has been running the porch ministry in Dallas, Texas at Watermark Church for years and |
| 0:49.9 | years and years. There is a new story. His life is getting ready to tell that I can't wait for |
| 0:54.4 | Yada here because he actually says it on the podcast for the first time ever, which is great. But |
| 0:58.5 | JP to me is one of the voices that has been shaping college students alongside Louis Giglio, |
| 1:05.1 | Shelley Giglio and passion. JP's been one of those other voices that to me just continues to |
| 1:11.0 | speak into college students as they are figuring out what adult life is going to look like. In fact, |

| 1:29.7 | this is the book. This is the book that they need. And you guys know the rules. The only people |
| 1:34.4 | that are you're ever going to hear on the show are people that are friends with or want to be |
| 1:37.4 | friends with. And in JP and I have kind of run in the same circle but had never really met before. |
