EP 301: DAN LEARNED
Dan Learned, Director of Heart of Illinois Youth for Christ, joins Andy and Chuck in the studio for an honest and hope-filled conversation about reaching this generation with the Gospel.
Dan gives us a front-row look at what teenagers are facing today—from anxiety, loneliness, social media pressure, and questions about identity to the deep need every young person has to know they are seen, valued, and loved. But despite the challenges, Dan sees plenty of reasons to be encouraged about this generation.
We talk about Dan’s own faith journey, his calling to youth ministry, what Youth for Christ is doing throughout Central Illinois, and why building genuine relationships with young people matters more than ever. Dan also shares powerful stories of lives being changed when caring adults simply show up, listen, and point students toward Jesus.
If you care about teenagers, have teenagers, work with teenagers—or simply want to see this generation encounter Jesus—this conversation is for you.
