Mike Smith:
This week, Will Estrada, director of Generation Joshua, has joined me to discuss how young people can make a difference in politics and public life. Will, each student who gets involved can make a difference. But when those students join together, network, and make a united effort, really great things can happen. Tell us about your vision for that at Generation Joshua.

Will Estrada:
Mike, we want to see young people with a vision for liberty unite around that common cause. As students with a shared passion come together, they can learn better, communicate truth, serve their communities, and make a difference in the political sphere.

We encourage our Generation Joshua members to form GenJ clubs. These clubs engage in a number of ways: they pray together for our nation, volunteer in their communities, campaign for political candidates, and lobby their legislators. The GenJ clubs are a great way for students to encourage each other and to make a significant impact as a united group.

Mike, young people can make a difference in the world now. And, more importantly, by getting involved as students, they will be prepared to be godly, experienced, effective leaders in the future. We want to inspire young people to see beyond the present to what America can become once again, if each of us impacts his own sphere of influence for Christ and liberty.

Mike:
Will, thanks for joining us this week on the program! I hope a lot of parents and young people are inspired to get involved in the political process. And until next time, I’m Mike Smith.
