Spiritual Formation in Emerging Adulthood available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The shift from adolescence to adulthood, a recently identified stage of life called "emerging adulthood," covers an increasing span of years in today's culture (roughly ages 18-30) due to later marriages and extended education. During this prolonged stage of exploration and self-definition, many young adults drift away from the church. Here two authors--both veteran teachers who are experienced in young adult and campus ministry--address this new and urgent field of study, offering a Christian perspective on what it means to be spiritually formed into adulthood. They provide a "practical theology" for emerging adult ministry and offer insight into the key developmental issues of this stage of life, including identity, intimacy and sexuality, morality, church involvement, spiritual formation, vocation, and mentoring. The book bridges the gap between academic and popular literature on emerging adulthood and offers concrete ways to facilitate spiritual formation among emerging adults.

Emerging Young Adult Spiritual Formation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. There is a growing disconnect between young adults and the church. Research into this specific and recent phase of life shows how cultural trends have shaped the spiritual lives of emerging adults. This dissertation claims that the loss of relevancy of the church for young adults is rooted in how the church has either capitulated or ignored these trends. Section 1 addresses the current immature faith that is endemic in many contemporary churches. The church's history and the culture within which it is embedded are examined. Section 2 describes other approaches to spiritual formation of young adults. Section 3 asserts that the developmental research of James Fowler is an interpretive lens for evaluating and developing young adult spiritual formation. Examining the barriers to a maturing faith through this lens will give direction for Christian leaders to create a coherent spiritual formation process. I conclude that an intergenerational community can develop a strong coherent faith for emerging adults. Creating an environment that supports and involves generations together will help shape their faith. Sections 4 and 5 outline a mentoring guide for older adults to connect with younger adults. This is designed as a tool for developing a maturing faith through the local church. Section 6 reflects on possible further research. The last section is the mentoring guide.
