SEVEN STRENGTHS YOU ALREADY HAVE TO BEGIN LEADING TODAY Young people have the capacity to make a difference now, but they don’t always know it. Sadly, many young adults today move through their twenties and still have trouble #adulting. What Are You Waiting For? motivates young leaders to start leading in God’s kingdom today so that they don’t miss out on some of their most significant years of impact. Author Josh Branham knows that young people don’t have to wait to change the world. Josh was by far the youngest in the room when he volunteered to lead a church plant in Boise, ID. Today, that congregation is thriving, with a powerful vision for kingdom multiplication. You don’t want to wait to lean into significance until your most energetic years are behind you. What Are You Waiting For? will help

What Are You Waiting For? is a book you’ll actually read due to its winsome style, but more importantly, reading it will cause you to reflect more seriously on what God may be teaching you on your own journey if you have the ears to hear.

A fun fact about me is that when I was a senior in high school, I won the senior superlative for “Most Likely to Change the World.” My hunch is that had something to do with the fact that I was nice to people and smiled at them and didn’t get tangled up in drama. All that being said, while I’m still not 100% sure how, I’d still like to do that someday. This book offered some good ideas about getting there.
I would recommend this book to any young Christian trying to find their way in the world! It’s full of helpful insights, encouragements, and reminders that “Hey, being young and not knowing everything isn’t so bad, and actually comes with some unique strengths.” And not only that, but Josh Branham points again and again to the reality that, if God is with us, who (or what) can stand against us?
