We talk a lot about the next generation—what they're doing wrong, what they're missing, what they need to change. But what if we've been asking the wrong question? What if it's not "What's wrong with them?" but "What are they waiting for from us?"

They're not waiting for us to be perfect or have all the answers. They're waiting for something simpler and maybe more difficult. They're waiting to be seen—really seen. To hear words that give life instead of words that tear down. To have adults stand with them when things get hard. And to experience people who will show up, not just once, but again and again.

For the next four weeks, we're doing something different. We're going to use the resource, "21 Days of Prayer for the Next Generation," to guide us. But we're not stopping at prayer. We're turning those prayers into real, everyday presence in the lives of young people. Because the next generation isn't the church of tomorrow. They're the church of today.

There's this old saying: "The church is always one generation away from extinction." But here's what else is true—we're also always one generation away from revival. What if this is that generation? What if we're the adults they've been waiting for? Let's not make them wait any longer.

Here's the thing about fresh starts. We think they're about trying harder. Doing more. Being better. At least until we burn out.

But God's restoration? It starts in a completely different place. It begins with the radical truth that your life already matters to Him. That you don't need to earn your worth or prove your value. He's ready to restore you, not because of what you can become, but because of what you already are to Him.

This January, we're choosing restoration over resolutions. We're discovering how God transforms lives through intentional daily choices that flow from knowing how much we matter. And how, when we live as our lives matter to God, they begin to matter to the world around us.

Because the life that matters isn't the one that's perfect. It's the one that's being restored.
