If you\u2019re a parent of a young adult, you already know the tension of this season. You\u2019re watching your child step into their own life\u2014choosing a career, forming relationships, and (for some) finding a church home\u2014all while navigating a culture that is often loud, confusing, and anything but godly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we launched Assemblies of God Young Adult Ministries, one question became the heartbeat of our mission: What is God\u2019s heart for young adults? The answer came clearly: He wants them to hear from Him. Not secondhand, not filtered through a podcast or a parent\u2014but clearly, personally, and through the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We believe every young adult has the potential to live a Spirit-empowered life. That means more than just going to church and avoiding sin\u2014it means walking daily in a relationship with Jesus and being filled with the Holy Spirit. That\u2019s the pattern we see in Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Young people like Samuel, Esther, Mary, and Timothy heard God\u2019s voice clearly and courageously obeyed\u2014not because they were perfect, but because they were obedient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hearing from God isn\u2019t just for prophets or preachers. It\u2019s foundational for every believer, especially during the young adult years. This is the season when decisions carry lifelong consequences: who to marry, what to do for work, where to live, how to build a foundation of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un estudio longitudinal de los j\u00f3venes de las Asambleas de Dios realizado por el Dr. Steve Pulis, Ph.D., encontr\u00f3 puntos en com\u00fan en los j\u00f3venes que permanecen en su fe despu\u00e9s de graduarse de la escuela secundaria. Un factor que establece la fe existe cuando los j\u00f3venes tienen un sentido interno de que Dios les est\u00e1 hablando de una manera personal. Sabemos que este es el testimonio interno del Esp\u00edritu Santo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuando los j\u00f3venes adultos tienen el poder del Esp\u00edritu y viven con la conciencia de que Dios sigue hablando, es m\u00e1s probable que lo busquen, conf\u00eden en Su Palabra y permanezcan conectados a una comunidad de fe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recuerdo cuando me di cuenta por primera vez de lo poderoso que pod\u00eda ser esto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Como estudiante en la Universidad Evangel, estaba rodeado de compa\u00f1eros de clase de todos los \u00e1mbitos de la vida. Algunos, como yo, eran cristianos de toda la vida. Otros eran nuevos creyentes, salvados de vidas que alguna vez pensaron que estaban demasiado lejos. Su hambre de Dios reaviv\u00f3 mi propia fe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One friend\u2014new to faith and on fire for Jesus\u2014challenged my theology with questions about grace, love for others, and God\u2019s sovereignty. That conversation sent me digging into Scripture, praying more fervently, and pressing into the Spirit\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That season in my life also deepened my understanding of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. As I experienced a fresh infilling of the Spirit, I began to see how central this power is to hearing God\u2019s voice, discerning His will, and walking in confidence as a young disciple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how do you help your young adult tune into God\u2019s voice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empieza por tener conversaciones honestas. Preg\u00fantales:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be a safe place for questions. Not every theological or cultural issue needs a \u201ccorrect\u201d answer immediately. Sometimes, what our young adults need most is to wrestle\u2014with you, with Scripture, and with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not parenting alone. God is still speaking\u2014and your young adult can still hear. Let\u2019s partner with Him to help them listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
