But Pete Hardesty says, in order to do that well, they need to have a bigger understanding about the meaning and purpose of life. Here\u2019s Pete.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> I had a mentor in Virginia Beach named Jack, who I would meet with regularly every week. H<a id=\"_Hlk2864791\"><\/a>e would ask me often, \u201cP.D., have you ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>?\u201d And I would answer, repeatedly, \u201cNo; I still haven\u2019t Jack.\u201d It\u2019s an odd question; but little by little, it kind of made its way from my mind down to my heart. He would say\/he would answer, \u201cOf course, you <em>haven\u2019t<\/em>; \u2018Because naked you come and naked you go.\u2019 So you better figure out what matters in this life and give yourself <em>wholeheartedly<\/em> to it.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Wednesday, March 20<sup>th<\/sup>. Our hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson; I'm Bob Lepine. Helping our kids move into adulthood is an important transition phase. But the <em>more<\/em> important transition is the one that comes at the end of life. We\u2019ll talk more about that today. Stay with us.\n\nAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us. So do you follow this hashtag on social media\u2014the #adulting?\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I do not, Bob; but I\u2019m going to.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So like Melissa here\u2014she\u2014#Adulting: \u201cYesterday was so perfect even though all we did was clean and do errands. #Adulting\u201d [Laughter] Here\u2019s another one: \u201cWhat is college you ask? I\u2019m currently eating an entire box of mac and cheese straight out of the pot that I cooked and then I\u2019m taking a nap.\u201d I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s adulting, but she hashtagged that as adulting.\n\nBut this is something that has become a new\/kind of a new phenomenon in this culture with young people, who\u2014we always thought, when\u2014I don\u2019t know, in the old days, when they turned 18 or then when they turned 21\/22, that they became adults. Now, it\u2019s like we\u2019re not really sure <em>when<\/em> somebody becomes an adult.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And I think\u2014is that the phenomenon of the boomerang culture that our kids are coming back to our home?\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014because they don\u2019t know how to engage, and what to do, or where to go?\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Right.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, the reason we\u2019re talking about this is because we\u2019ve got a couple of guys joining us today who have written a book called <em>Adulting 101<\/em>. Josh Burnette and Pete Hardesty join us. Pete, Josh\u2014welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\n\n<strong>Josh: <\/strong>Thank you for having us.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> Thanks so much.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> This is something you guys are engaged with, really, in two different areas of life; because Pete\u2014you give leadership to Young Life<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> leaders all up and down the east coast. You\u2019ve been involved with Young Life for two decades; right?\n\n<strong>Pete: <\/strong>Yes, a little over it. I went to my first Young Life club in 1989.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And Josh, you were a volunteer leader, working with Pete for a while; right?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Yes, for four years.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And now, you are a Chick-fil-A<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> owner\/operator. So you\u2019re working with a lot of people who are pre-adulting; right?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> That is correct. They\u2019re in that transitional phase.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So how did the two of you come together and say, \u201cYou know, we need to put our heads together and address this subject and help moms and dads, and help young people, understand the realities of adulting\u201d?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> So if you rewind the clock back to when I was at James Madison and Pete was my boss\/my area director, he did a tremendous job of preparing the students for life after school. He would take us and teach us how to grocery shop\u2014gave us a list of life information. I referred back to that information in those documents more than any other textbook that I had used over those four years in college. And over time, had the chance to share some of that with my team members that I had the opportunity to employee. I always received really great feedback about how applicable that was to their lives.\n\nWe fast forward a little bit and a lot of the dialogues that I have with my employees have been around: \u201cHow do I buy a car?\u201d \u201cHow do I move out on my own?\u201d \u201cHow do I budget well?\u201d And these were things that Pete helped teach us throughout the course of college. One day, I gave him a call and said, \u201cHey Pete, would you be interested in writing a book?\u2014because I\u2019m going to steal most of your material.\u201d [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wow.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> I said, \u201c[Thinking about writing] here and there; but not really.\u201d\n\nHe said: \u201cWell, I haven\u2019t opened one of my college textbooks since I graduated that day.\u201d But we did a little senior prep course, four or five weeks in the spring. He said: \u201cI refer back to that stuff all the time. I think other people could benefit from this.\u201d Josh had shared it around Chick-fil-A\u2014and a bunch of other owner\/operators had taken their teams through it\u2014and thought, \u201cYou know, this is going to be useful on a bigger scale.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Josh, you came from a family that poured into you and helped get you ready for life; but you found yourself in college with a lot of questions that they hadn\u2019t filled in the gaps for you with; right?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> So I think there\u2019s a balance in that, where my parents did a tremendous job with me and my siblings, but there\u2019s still things that we take for granted\u2014that we assume the next generation knows by just osmosis\/by being around\u2014that Pete was incredibly intentional about showcasing and sharing with the leaders that he engaged with. And kind of marrying those two and bridging those two together has been really a big part of how <em>Adulting 101<\/em> came together.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, I love that; because, as a mom, raising three sons, I think I was trying to give them tools for life that were practical; but honestly, I think half of the time they weren\u2019t even listening to me. You know, they\u2019re like, \u201cWhatever, Mom.\u201d I don\u2019t think it was necessary at the time; they thought \u201cOh, I have a lot more living to do.\u201d But I love that you guys came in, and you\u2019re at a point where people\/these kids want to learn, and they <em>need<\/em> it. So you\u2019re really giving them help.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> My mom, I think, is the best mom on earth and\u2014but she\u2019s Italian.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wait; what does that mean?\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014that she\u2019s Italian? [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> That means\u2014well, yes\u2014no; I love Italians. [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> She\u2019s listening right now. Go ahead.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> That means I\u2019ve got to watch what I say now\u2014that means that she likes to care for everybody that comes in the house. If you come into our house, it\u2019s: \u201cSit down. What do you need to eat\/drink?\u201d You\u2019re going to eat more than you should. I had never done a load of laundry when they dropped me off at college\u2014ever in my life. My parents really were trying to set me up for success in the next stage\u2014just hadn\u2019t shared with me some of the more practical things.\n\nSo I don\u2019t think it\u2019s always a matter of \u201cDo parents care?\u201d I think a lot of parents care, but maybe don\u2019t know exactly\u2014or have the tools to really set their kids up for success at that next level.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; I\u2019ll tell you, even as a dad\u2014of course, my sons are grown now\u2014but reading your book, I saw all the things I never did, as a dad. I mean, it was great! It was like, \u201cOh, yes; this is a toolbox for parents\u2014let alone other people like yourselves\u2014to pour into their lives.\u201d\n\nI remember one time my middle son was driving back to college. I walked in the kitchen. Ann is on the phone; he has a flat tire\u2014I can discern all of this. Here\u2019s what Ann says\u2014right?\u2014\u201cOh honey, just sit there. We\u2019re calling AAA. They\u2019ll be out\u2019 they\u2019re going to change the tire.\u201d I literally go, \u201cGive me that phone!\u201d [Laughter]\u00a0 She\u2019s like, \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cGive me that phone!\u201d I grab it and go \u201cAustin, what\u2019s going on?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m on the side of the road.\u201d I go, \u201cWe\u2019re going to change this tire together.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I\u2019m arguing; because I\u2019m like: \u201cThis is <em>dangerous<\/em>. [Laughter] He shouldn\u2019t be doing that.\u201d\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> And I\u2019m pushing her out of the way; and I realized in that moment: \u201cOh my gosh! I\u2019ve never taught my son how to change a tire,\u201d\u2014which I should have done\u2014that\u2019s a basic life skill, which I did there, over the phone. We went through the manual\u2014we found it\u2014he changed it. You know, by the end of the thing, he is like, \u201cDad, that was <em>awesome<\/em>\u201d; right?\n\nNext thing I do\u2014you know what I did? I literally walked out of the kitchen: \u201cCody!\u201d\u2014because I still had one at home\u2014\u201cWhere are you?!\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re changing a tire.\u201d \u201cWhat? I don\u2019t have a flat tire.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re changing a tire right now in the driveway,\u201d\u2014trying to help him become an adult.\n\nI thought, \u201cMan, this book is a <em>valuable<\/em> tool to help people do that.\u201d Have you seen that happen?\u2014people take it and start using it in basic life skills?\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> Dave, you know what? I\u2019ve heard from a lot of dads, taking sons and daughters through\u2014and moms, taking their sons and daughters through this book\u2014as a springboard\u2014\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wow.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> \u2014because they have a lot of things they want to impart; but it\u2019s hard if you don\u2019t have a track to run on. And this doesn\u2019t have everything. There\u2019s not a silver bullet\u2014right?\u2014to teach people, but it\u2019s a good track to start with; because each parent would bring something unique to the table that might not be in the book.\n\nIt goes through, topically, some really <em>big<\/em> issues that they maybe could go through. I know that there\u2019s several parents taking their kids through it each week\u2014they just read a chapter; and then, they kind of sit down and get to have some time and go over it. They bring some other stuff to the table that\u2019s maybe not included in the book.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So we\u2019re talking about laundry and flat tires\u2014[Laughter]\u2014and those are not insignificant issues\u2014those life skill issues. Is that where the majority of the gaps are with the young people that you guys are working with?\u2014is it in basic life skills? Or are there different issues where the gaps are that they need to be able to fully engage as adults?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Every person is going to be a little different in what their needs are, and how to best engage with them, and what\u2019s kind of next. Hopefully, what this book also does, in addition to providing information, helps them discern a little bit better in life.\n\nWe kind of launch, in <em>Adulting 101<\/em>, with your purpose: \u201cWhat\u2019s the bigger picture? What\u2019s over-arching themes in your life?\u201d And everything beyond that is going to be very tactical\u2014it\u2019s going to be the how-tos in life. It\u2019s going to be the nuts and bolts of how to be a good functioning adult. It was written in a way that was intentional\u2014that anybody could pick it up, regardless of belief set, and this is applicable information to them.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Do you think that the average 22-year-old today doesn\u2019t have an idea of what their purpose is or where they ought to be investing their lives?\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> Bob, that\u2019s such a good question. I had a mentor in Virginia Beach named Jack, who I would meet with regularly every week. He would ask me often, \u201cP.D., have you ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul?\u201d And I would answer, repeatedly, \u201cNo; I still haven\u2019t Jack.\u201d It\u2019s an odd question; but little by little, it kind of made its way from my mind down to my heart. He would answer: \u201cOf course, you <em>haven\u2019t<\/em>; \u2018Because naked you come, and naked you go.\u2019 So you better figure out what matters in this life and give yourself <em>wholeheartedly<\/em> to it.\u201d And that has <em>rung<\/em> in my life.\n\nDid I know what really mattered when I was 22?\u2014I\u2019m not sure\u2014but I think that people matter. And I know that that\u2019s kind of where our journey began\u2014is we want our lives to matter. Everybody\u2019s life does matter; but we have to figure out: \u201cWhat really stands the test of time? What echoes in eternity?\u201d\u2014we would say. I think that\u2019s where we begin. Because if we really don\u2019t know what our life\u2019s about or what our purpose of our life, it almost doesn\u2019t matter if we can do some of the practical stuff\u2014like do our laundry or change a tire\u2014that we maybe go over towards the end of the book or in the second half.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> So if you are talking to a typical mom, and she\u2019s raising kids\u2014whether she\u2019s a single mom or she\u2019s married: \u201cWhat would you advise her to give a kid purpose\u2014to be speaking into their life, their identity, their future\u2014how would she go about that?\u201d\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> The first thing that comes to mind, Ann, is 2 Corinthians 4, at the end of the chapter; and that\u2019s where we begin\u2014that\u2019s where Josh and I began\u2014is to set our mind on the things that are unseen\u2014the things that stand the test of time.\n\nIf we come from nothing, and we\u2019re going to nothing, guess what we have in between?\u2014nothing. But if we came from something\u2014and we were created with meaning, purpose, and significance\u2014and when we die, there\u2019s a place that we go with meaning, purpose, and significance, guess what we have in between? If we come from something and we go to something, we have <em>everything<\/em> in between.\n\nSo I think, if somebody doesn\u2019t know their purpose for their life or that if they have any purpose, that\u2019s going to be tough to actually really be successful in life.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I have found myself, over and over again, sitting down with younger people, who are wrestling with this issue of: \u201cWhat\u2019s my purpose?\u201d I\u2019ve said: \u201cYou know,\n\nEphesians 2:10 says, \u2018We are God\u2019s workmanship. We\u2019re created for good works, which He prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.\u2019 So God has a purpose for you. He created you to fulfill that purpose. What we\u2019re trying to do, together here, is figure out: \u2018What is that purpose that God made you for?\u2019 so that you can be a part of His kingdom work.\u201d That can be a hard journey for a young person to be on.\n\nI\u2019ve often said, \u201cRather than trying to do it like a treasure hunt, where you just are consumed with trying to find that perfect spot, just start doing some things and watch where God blesses and where there\u2019s favor brought into your life,\u201d\u2014to say to a young person: \u201cJust get out and live life,\u201d and \u201cWhen you start to see (a) \u2018I feel alive when I do this\u2019 and (b) \u2018People respond well when I do this, and it\u2019s effective,\u2019 then just stay in that lane and watch it blossom for you.\u201d\n\nA lot of young people, I think, get paralyzed trying to zero in on \u201cWhat\u2019s the exact thing God has for me?\u201d and they\u2019re postponing life until they have it figured out. The way you figure it out is you do life and you learn: \u201cOkay; it\u2019s not this. God doesn\u2019t have this for me, because I\u2019m not good at it,\u201d or \u201c\u2026people don\u2019t respond to it,\u201d or \u201c\u2026I don\u2019t like it.\u201d And then you go, \u201cBut I do like this,\u201d and it\u2019s in the doing of life that this starts to become clear to you.\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> I think this is the difference between preparation and planning. As I look back across my life\u2014and all the things that I had planned out that I wanted to see come to fruition that didn\u2019t\u2014and the identity that I had wrapped up in those things was crushed; because I didn\u2019t go to the school that I wanted to go to, and that changed the trajectory of my life. I didn\u2019t get the job I wanted to right after college also changed who I am today. I had the opportunity to prepare <em>well<\/em> for whatever might lie ahead; but every plan that I\u2019ve ever put in place, it seems like God has laughed at me and has shifted me a different direction.\n\nSo to your point, it\u2019s all about moving forward and doing something, and preparing the best you can for the stage of life you\u2019re in versus planning out \u201cWhat is my life purpose?\u201d on a beautiful piece of paper and knowing what that looks like at 22. I think it\u2019s much more of a journey\u2014it\u2019s much more of \u201cHow do I prepare well in the season that I\u2019m in for the future?\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes; our parents\/our grandparents thought, \u201cWhen I graduate,\u201d or \u201cWhen I get in the workforce, then I\u2019ll get the job that I\u2019ll be in for 30 or 40 years.\u201d Well, that\u2019s not the reality for our kids today, who may be in ten different jobs before they retire\u2014which doesn\u2019t make the old way right or wrong or this way right or wrong\u2014it\u2019s just the reality that: \u201cYou\u2019ve got a lot of time to figure out what your purpose is. Just start doing some things.\u201d\n\n<strong>Pete<\/strong>: We say: \u201cWe know God\u2019s will for your life,\u201d and \u201cWe know the purpose for your life, in a general sense. And then, specifically, you\u2019ll flesh that out a little differently.\u201d The purpose of <em>everyone\u2019s<\/em> life is to love God and to love people\u2014that\u2019s for every single human on the earth. We also know God\u2019s will for your life; because, in the Bible, several places it says, \u201cThis is God\u2019s will for you\u2026\u201d; so we can grab those, and compile them, and have a list.\n\nBut then, it begins: \u201cCareer choice,\u201d or \u201cWhat are you going to major in?\u201d \u201cWhat are you going to do after college?\u201d \u201cYou going to go for a gap year?\u201d \u201cAre you going to go travel after?\u201d All these types of questions start to be ones that you, actually, start to figure that out for yourself. I also believe we can\u2019t mess it up; because if I could have messed it up, I already would have. I\u2019ve made some poor decisions in my life. That doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t make bad decisions with <em>very<\/em> bad consequences\u2014I\u2019m not saying <em>that<\/em>.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> But it\u2019s reassuring that it\u2019s never too late.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> It\u2019s never <em>too<\/em> late; because think about it: \u201cIf I\u2019d chosen the wrong college\u2014that God had this perfect college for me to choose\u2014that was the one I was supposed to meet my wife at\u2014but I go to a different college. I meet a different gal and get married. Am I going to have a second-best wife? What if I have kids with that wife?\u2014second-best kids? That\u2019s not how God works.\n\nSo I know we can have that security that we can\u2019t mess up God\u2019s will for our life, actually. We can make good decisions\/bad decisions, good judgements\/bad judgements; but we can hold onto that\u2014that He\u2019s going to see us through and He\u2019s standing over time. You might be in a spot, where you\u2019ve thought, \u201cI made a decision I can\u2019t rally back from,\u201d and that\u2019s <em>not<\/em> true.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, and I\u2019ve told my kids over the years\u2014I said: \u201cYou have two kinds of decisions you make. You make good decisions, or you make decisions that invite learning opportunities for you. [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That\u2019s good.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cThose are the two; so when you make a decision, at the end of it, you either go: \u2018That was a good decision,\u2019 or \u2018I can learn something from the decision I just made.\u2019 At that point, every decision is <em>redeemable<\/em> in God\u2019s purpose for you to grow and expand.\u201d And your kids <em>need<\/em> those.\n\nIn fact, before your kids graduate, they need to be making some decisions that are learning decisions, under your supervision; so you\u2019re there to coach them and help them so they learn, not just how to change a tire, but they learn how to deal with failure. They learn how to deal with discouragement. They get some learning out of that; right?\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; that very thought created many fights in our home.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I was just going to say that\u2014like this was a tension point.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We\u2019re going to have a fight right now about it. [Laughter] No; we would fight about that; because I was the dad, saying: \u201cI want them to make bad decisions. They\u2019re going to make bad decisions.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> You didn\u2019t want them to, but you were <em>willing<\/em> to see\u2014\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> No; I wanted them to. See, there is the fight. [Laughter] I\u2019m like, \u201cI want to be a part of helping them pick up the broken pieces.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You\u2019re a <em>realist<\/em>\u2014you know they\u2019re going to <em>make<\/em> bad decisions.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; I mean, they\u2019re going to do it later. They\u2019re going to be out there, and we\u2019re not going to be around. Again, I don\u2019t want to control it; but I wanted to be part of the journey as they make bad decisions\u2014to be there and say: \u201cOkay;\u201d\u2014it\u2019s Adulting 101\u2014it\u2019s like, \u201cOkay; how do we become adults in the situation while they\u2019re still here?\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, and Ann, I think the point for folks listening today is: \u201cAs you\u2019re raising kids, you want them to be able to adult early.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cYou want them to be able to embrace life and to manage life well. And to do that, you\u2019ve got to be engaged and involved, as a parent, and you can\u2019t just be casual about this. Even the best parent, who does the best job\u2014there\u2019s still going to be gaps in what you do\u2014but get in the game and be as proactive as you can be.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes; I can remember\u2014I <em>love<\/em> that you guys are talking about this; because as a second grader\u2014I was eight years old, didn\u2019t go to church, had no church background\u2014but I can remember saying, \u201cGod, why was I put on this earth?\u201d\u2014and that\u2019s young. I remember saying that to my 85-year-old dad, at one point. I said \u201cDad, do you remember the first time you thought, \u2018Why was I put on this earth?\u2019\u201d And he said, \u201cI\u2019ve never had that thought in my entire life, and I\u2019m 85 years old.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Wow.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> But because that was burning in my heart, I remember laying down with our boys, when they were little, and I would say things like, \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see what God has for you.\u201d They would be\u2014this was little\u2014and they would say, \u201cIs it a present?\u201d I said: \u201cKind of; because when you discover what God put in you\u2014in your gifts, and your talents, and passions\u2014it is like a present because you\u2014when you do something in the future\/when you do it\u2014you think, \u2018That is why I was put on this earth.\u2019\u201d I\u2019m sure there are a lot of different things\u2014to see them, now, as adult men\u2014but it got them to start <em>looking<\/em> for what God had for them.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> It is interesting. Ann is so far ahead of me on this whole thing\u2014second grade; really?\u2014I was 18. I can tell you where I was sitting the day a teacher read\n\nMatthew 22\u2014when the teacher came to Jesus\u2014that\u2019s what you were referring to\u2014and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s the most important commandment?\u201d I\u2019ll read it to you\u2014it\u2019s right here. Jesus says: \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.\u201d You think He\u2019s done; and then He says: \u201cAnd the second is like it; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.\u201d\n\nI remember sitting there, thinking: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what I do, vocationally; I\u2019ve got to do <em>that<\/em> whatever I do. That\u2019s my <em>purpose<\/em>\u2014now, what does that look like?\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> For moms and dads to be engaged with their kids around that very subject is critical, and you guys have provided help for us in that assignment with the book you\u2019ve written called <em>Adulting 101: #Wisdom4Life<\/em>. This is not just a book for a parent to buy and leave on their young adult\u2019s bed. This is a great book for parents to go through, chapter by chapter, with a high school student or with a college student before you\u2019re ready to launch them into adulthood. Walk through this with them and just say \u201cI just want to make sure you\u2019re comfortable in all of these areas or see if there\u2019s anything I need to help you with.\u201d\n\nWe\u2019ve got copies of the book, <em>Adulting 101: #Wisdom4Life<\/em>. It\u2019s in our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center. You can order it from us, online, at FamilyLifeToday.com. Or you can call to order: 1-800-FL-TODAY. Again, the website: FamilyLifeToday.com; or call 1-800-358-6329\u2014that\u2019s 1-800-\u201cF\u201d as in family, \u201cL\u201d as in life, and then the word, \u201cTODAY\u201d; and get your copy of the book, <em>Adulting 101<\/em>.\n\nYou know, our goal here, at FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, is to try to provide you with practical biblical help and hope for your marriage and your family. We want to come alongside you and offer insight\/wisdom\u2014what the Scriptures have to say\u2014about issues related to marriage and family. We want to effectively develop godly marriages and families. We believe godly marriages and families can change the world, one home at a time.\n\nAll that we do here would not be possible if it weren\u2019t for listeners, like you, who go beyond listening and say: \u201cWe want to help the families and the couples in our community. We want to help families and couples all around the world have access to this kind of biblical help and hope.\u201d Thanks to those of you who are monthly Legacy Partners and those of you who will, from time to time, make a donation to support the work of <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.

Again, we\u2019re thankful for your partnership with us and glad to have you on the team.\n\nNow, we\u2019ve got the President of FamilyLife, David Robbins, joining us. He\u2019s got some thoughts on this subject of adulting; right David?\n\n<strong>David:<\/strong> That\u2019s right. You know, Bob, <em>before<\/em> coming to FamilyLife, Meg and I worked with 20-somethings in New York City. And often we described what we did as re-parenting and helping 20-somethings <em>grow<\/em> into adulthood. As we worked with many driven millennials, who were trying to make it in such a ruthless city and discovering their life\u2019s purpose and place, we often reminded them of three core callings every follower of Jesus had, no matter what stage of life you\u2019re in.\n\nOne, daily orienting your life to a moment-by-moment relationship with God. It brings <em>so<\/em> much glory to Him when we do that.\n\nNumber two, God has currently given us a handful of people that you were meant to pursue and love like Jesus loved. To love your neighbors, that God has put around you right now in your life, actually glorifies Him <em>so<\/em> much.\n\nAnd finally, God has given us the place that we live; and \u201cHow can we pursue the common good of the people in the place that He\u2019s put us?\u201d\n\nOne of the best ways to help young people adult well and grow into \u201cWhat is next in their life?\u201d is to help them know what it looks like to \u201clive like Jesus\u201d right where they are.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> That\u2019s good. Thank you.\n\nI hope our listeners can join us back tomorrow. We\u2019re going to continue the conversation. We\u2019re going to talk about how moms and dads can continue to have a strong healthy relationship with their children as those children move into a new phase of life into independence. I hope you can join us for that.\n\nI want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, along with our entire broadcast production team. On behalf of our hosts, Dave and Ann Wilson, I\u2019m Bob Lepine.

But Pete Hardesty says, in order to do that well, they need to have a bigger understanding about the meaning and purpose of life. Here\u2019s Pete.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> I had a mentor in Virginia Beach named Jack, who I would meet with regularly every week. H<a id=\"_Hlk2864791\"><\/a>e would ask me often, \u201cP.D., have you ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>?\u201d And I would answer, repeatedly, \u201cNo; I still haven\u2019t Jack.\u201d It\u2019s an odd question; but little by little, it kind of made its way from my mind down to my heart. He would say\/he would answer, \u201cOf course, you <em>haven\u2019t<\/em>; \u2018Because naked you come and naked you go.\u2019 So you better figure out what matters in this life and give yourself <em>wholeheartedly<\/em> to it.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob: <\/strong>This is <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> for Wednesday, March 20<sup>th<\/sup>. Our hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson; I'm Bob Lepine. Helping our kids move into adulthood is an important transition phase. But the <em>more<\/em> important transition is the one that comes at the end of life. We\u2019ll talk more about that today. Stay with us.\n\nAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us. So do you follow this hashtag on social media\u2014the #adulting?\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I do not, Bob; but I\u2019m going to.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So like Melissa here\u2014she\u2014#Adulting: \u201cYesterday was so perfect even though all we did was clean and do errands. #Adulting\u201d [Laughter] Here\u2019s another one: \u201cWhat is college you ask? I\u2019m currently eating an entire box of mac and cheese straight out of the pot that I cooked and then I\u2019m taking a nap.\u201d I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s adulting, but she hashtagged that as adulting.\n\nBut this is something that has become a new\/kind of a new phenomenon in this culture with young people, who\u2014we always thought, when\u2014I don\u2019t know, in the old days, when they turned 18 or then when they turned 21\/22, that they became adults. Now, it\u2019s like we\u2019re not really sure <em>when<\/em> somebody becomes an adult.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And I think\u2014is that the phenomenon of the boomerang culture that our kids are coming back to our home?\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014because they don\u2019t know how to engage, and what to do, or where to go?\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Right.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, the reason we\u2019re talking about this is because we\u2019ve got a couple of guys joining us today who have written a book called <em>Adulting 101<\/em>. Josh Burnette and Pete Hardesty join us. Pete, Josh\u2014welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\n\n<strong>Josh: <\/strong>Thank you for having us.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> Thanks so much.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> This is something you guys are engaged with, really, in two different areas of life; because Pete\u2014you give leadership to Young Life<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> leaders all up and down the east coast. You\u2019ve been involved with Young Life for two decades; right?\n\n<strong>Pete: <\/strong>Yes, a little over it. I went to my first Young Life club in 1989.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And Josh, you were a volunteer leader, working with Pete for a while; right?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Yes, for four years.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And now, you are a Chick-fil-A<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> owner\/operator. So you\u2019re working with a lot of people who are pre-adulting; right?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> That is correct. They\u2019re in that transitional phase.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So how did the two of you come together and say, \u201cYou know, we need to put our heads together and address this subject and help moms and dads, and help young people, understand the realities of adulting\u201d?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> So if you rewind the clock back to when I was at James Madison and Pete was my boss\/my area director, he did a tremendous job of preparing the students for life after school. He would take us and teach us how to grocery shop\u2014gave us a list of life information. I referred back to that information in those documents more than any other textbook that I had used over those four years in college. And over time, had the chance to share some of that with my team members that I had the opportunity to employee. I always received really great feedback about how applicable that was to their lives.\n\nWe fast forward a little bit and a lot of the dialogues that I have with my employees have been around: \u201cHow do I buy a car?\u201d \u201cHow do I move out on my own?\u201d \u201cHow do I budget well?\u201d And these were things that Pete helped teach us throughout the course of college. One day, I gave him a call and said, \u201cHey Pete, would you be interested in writing a book?\u2014because I\u2019m going to steal most of your material.\u201d [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wow.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> I said, \u201c[Thinking about writing] here and there; but not really.\u201d\n\nHe said: \u201cWell, I haven\u2019t opened one of my college textbooks since I graduated that day.\u201d But we did a little senior prep course, four or five weeks in the spring. He said: \u201cI refer back to that stuff all the time. I think other people could benefit from this.\u201d Josh had shared it around Chick-fil-A\u2014and a bunch of other owner\/operators had taken their teams through it\u2014and thought, \u201cYou know, this is going to be useful on a bigger scale.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Josh, you came from a family that poured into you and helped get you ready for life; but you found yourself in college with a lot of questions that they hadn\u2019t filled in the gaps for you with; right?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> So I think there\u2019s a balance in that, where my parents did a tremendous job with me and my siblings, but there\u2019s still things that we take for granted\u2014that we assume the next generation knows by just osmosis\/by being around\u2014that Pete was incredibly intentional about showcasing and sharing with the leaders that he engaged with. And kind of marrying those two and bridging those two together has been really a big part of how <em>Adulting 101<\/em> came together.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, I love that; because, as a mom, raising three sons, I think I was trying to give them tools for life that were practical; but honestly, I think half of the time they weren\u2019t even listening to me. You know, they\u2019re like, \u201cWhatever, Mom.\u201d I don\u2019t think it was necessary at the time; they thought \u201cOh, I have a lot more living to do.\u201d But I love that you guys came in, and you\u2019re at a point where people\/these kids want to learn, and they <em>need<\/em> it. So you\u2019re really giving them help.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> My mom, I think, is the best mom on earth and\u2014but she\u2019s Italian.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wait; what does that mean?\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014that she\u2019s Italian? [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> That means\u2014well, yes\u2014no; I love Italians. [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> She\u2019s listening right now. Go ahead.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> That means I\u2019ve got to watch what I say now\u2014that means that she likes to care for everybody that comes in the house. If you come into our house, it\u2019s: \u201cSit down. What do you need to eat\/drink?\u201d You\u2019re going to eat more than you should. I had never done a load of laundry when they dropped me off at college\u2014ever in my life. My parents really were trying to set me up for success in the next stage\u2014just hadn\u2019t shared with me some of the more practical things.\n\nSo I don\u2019t think it\u2019s always a matter of \u201cDo parents care?\u201d I think a lot of parents care, but maybe don\u2019t know exactly\u2014or have the tools to really set their kids up for success at that next level.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; I\u2019ll tell you, even as a dad\u2014of course, my sons are grown now\u2014but reading your book, I saw all the things I never did, as a dad. I mean, it was great! It was like, \u201cOh, yes; this is a toolbox for parents\u2014let alone other people like yourselves\u2014to pour into their lives.\u201d\n\nI remember one time my middle son was driving back to college. I walked in the kitchen. Ann is on the phone; he has a flat tire\u2014I can discern all of this. Here\u2019s what Ann says\u2014right?\u2014\u201cOh honey, just sit there. We\u2019re calling AAA. They\u2019ll be out\u2019 they\u2019re going to change the tire.\u201d I literally go, \u201cGive me that phone!\u201d [Laughter]\u00a0 She\u2019s like, \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cGive me that phone!\u201d I grab it and go \u201cAustin, what\u2019s going on?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m on the side of the road.\u201d I go, \u201cWe\u2019re going to change this tire together.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I\u2019m arguing; because I\u2019m like: \u201cThis is <em>dangerous<\/em>. [Laughter] He shouldn\u2019t be doing that.\u201d\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> And I\u2019m pushing her out of the way; and I realized in that moment: \u201cOh my gosh! I\u2019ve never taught my son how to change a tire,\u201d\u2014which I should have done\u2014that\u2019s a basic life skill, which I did there, over the phone. We went through the manual\u2014we found it\u2014he changed it. You know, by the end of the thing, he is like, \u201cDad, that was <em>awesome<\/em>\u201d; right?\n\nNext thing I do\u2014you know what I did? I literally walked out of the kitchen: \u201cCody!\u201d\u2014because I still had one at home\u2014\u201cWhere are you?!\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re changing a tire.\u201d \u201cWhat? I don\u2019t have a flat tire.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re changing a tire right now in the driveway,\u201d\u2014trying to help him become an adult.\n\nI thought, \u201cMan, this book is a <em>valuable<\/em> tool to help people do that.\u201d Have you seen that happen?\u2014people take it and start using it in basic life skills?\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> Dave, you know what? I\u2019ve heard from a lot of dads, taking sons and daughters through\u2014and moms, taking their sons and daughters through this book\u2014as a springboard\u2014\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Wow.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> \u2014because they have a lot of things they want to impart; but it\u2019s hard if you don\u2019t have a track to run on. And this doesn\u2019t have everything. There\u2019s not a silver bullet\u2014right?\u2014to teach people, but it\u2019s a good track to start with; because each parent would bring something unique to the table that might not be in the book.\n\nIt goes through, topically, some really <em>big<\/em> issues that they maybe could go through. I know that there\u2019s several parents taking their kids through it each week\u2014they just read a chapter; and then, they kind of sit down and get to have some time and go over it. They bring some other stuff to the table that\u2019s maybe not included in the book.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So we\u2019re talking about laundry and flat tires\u2014[Laughter]\u2014and those are not insignificant issues\u2014those life skill issues. Is that where the majority of the gaps are with the young people that you guys are working with?\u2014is it in basic life skills? Or are there different issues where the gaps are that they need to be able to fully engage as adults?\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Every person is going to be a little different in what their needs are, and how to best engage with them, and what\u2019s kind of next. Hopefully, what this book also does, in addition to providing information, helps them discern a little bit better in life.\n\nWe kind of launch, in <em>Adulting 101<\/em>, with your purpose: \u201cWhat\u2019s the bigger picture? What\u2019s over-arching themes in your life?\u201d And everything beyond that is going to be very tactical\u2014it\u2019s going to be the how-tos in life. It\u2019s going to be the nuts and bolts of how to be a good functioning adult. It was written in a way that was intentional\u2014that anybody could pick it up, regardless of belief set, and this is applicable information to them.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Do you think that the average 22-year-old today doesn\u2019t have an idea of what their purpose is or where they ought to be investing their lives?\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> Bob, that\u2019s such a good question. I had a mentor in Virginia Beach named Jack, who I would meet with regularly every week. He would ask me often, \u201cP.D., have you ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul?\u201d And I would answer, repeatedly, \u201cNo; I still haven\u2019t Jack.\u201d It\u2019s an odd question; but little by little, it kind of made its way from my mind down to my heart. He would answer: \u201cOf course, you <em>haven\u2019t<\/em>; \u2018Because naked you come, and naked you go.\u2019 So you better figure out what matters in this life and give yourself <em>wholeheartedly<\/em> to it.\u201d And that has <em>rung<\/em> in my life.\n\nDid I know what really mattered when I was 22?\u2014I\u2019m not sure\u2014but I think that people matter. And I know that that\u2019s kind of where our journey began\u2014is we want our lives to matter. Everybody\u2019s life does matter; but we have to figure out: \u201cWhat really stands the test of time? What echoes in eternity?\u201d\u2014we would say. I think that\u2019s where we begin. Because if we really don\u2019t know what our life\u2019s about or what our purpose of our life, it almost doesn\u2019t matter if we can do some of the practical stuff\u2014like do our laundry or change a tire\u2014that we maybe go over towards the end of the book or in the second half.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> So if you are talking to a typical mom, and she\u2019s raising kids\u2014whether she\u2019s a single mom or she\u2019s married: \u201cWhat would you advise her to give a kid purpose\u2014to be speaking into their life, their identity, their future\u2014how would she go about that?\u201d\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> The first thing that comes to mind, Ann, is 2 Corinthians 4, at the end of the chapter; and that\u2019s where we begin\u2014that\u2019s where Josh and I began\u2014is to set our mind on the things that are unseen\u2014the things that stand the test of time.\n\nIf we come from nothing, and we\u2019re going to nothing, guess what we have in between?\u2014nothing. But if we came from something\u2014and we were created with meaning, purpose, and significance\u2014and when we die, there\u2019s a place that we go with meaning, purpose, and significance, guess what we have in between? If we come from something and we go to something, we have <em>everything<\/em> in between.\n\nSo I think, if somebody doesn\u2019t know their purpose for their life or that if they have any purpose, that\u2019s going to be tough to actually really be successful in life.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I have found myself, over and over again, sitting down with younger people, who are wrestling with this issue of: \u201cWhat\u2019s my purpose?\u201d I\u2019ve said: \u201cYou know,\n\nEphesians 2:10 says, \u2018We are God\u2019s workmanship. We\u2019re created for good works, which He prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.\u2019 So God has a purpose for you. He created you to fulfill that purpose. What we\u2019re trying to do, together here, is figure out: \u2018What is that purpose that God made you for?\u2019 so that you can be a part of His kingdom work.\u201d That can be a hard journey for a young person to be on.\n\nI\u2019ve often said, \u201cRather than trying to do it like a treasure hunt, where you just are consumed with trying to find that perfect spot, just start doing some things and watch where God blesses and where there\u2019s favor brought into your life,\u201d\u2014to say to a young person: \u201cJust get out and live life,\u201d and \u201cWhen you start to see (a) \u2018I feel alive when I do this\u2019 and (b) \u2018People respond well when I do this, and it\u2019s effective,\u2019 then just stay in that lane and watch it blossom for you.\u201d\n\nA lot of young people, I think, get paralyzed trying to zero in on \u201cWhat\u2019s the exact thing God has for me?\u201d and they\u2019re postponing life until they have it figured out. The way you figure it out is you do life and you learn: \u201cOkay; it\u2019s not this. God doesn\u2019t have this for me, because I\u2019m not good at it,\u201d or \u201c\u2026people don\u2019t respond to it,\u201d or \u201c\u2026I don\u2019t like it.\u201d And then you go, \u201cBut I do like this,\u201d and it\u2019s in the doing of life that this starts to become clear to you.\n\n<strong>Josh:<\/strong> I think this is the difference between preparation and planning. As I look back across my life\u2014and all the things that I had planned out that I wanted to see come to fruition that didn\u2019t\u2014and the identity that I had wrapped up in those things was crushed; because I didn\u2019t go to the school that I wanted to go to, and that changed the trajectory of my life. I didn\u2019t get the job I wanted to right after college also changed who I am today. I had the opportunity to prepare <em>well<\/em> for whatever might lie ahead; but every plan that I\u2019ve ever put in place, it seems like God has laughed at me and has shifted me a different direction.\n\nSo to your point, it\u2019s all about moving forward and doing something, and preparing the best you can for the stage of life you\u2019re in versus planning out \u201cWhat is my life purpose?\u201d on a beautiful piece of paper and knowing what that looks like at 22. I think it\u2019s much more of a journey\u2014it\u2019s much more of \u201cHow do I prepare well in the season that I\u2019m in for the future?\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes; our parents\/our grandparents thought, \u201cWhen I graduate,\u201d or \u201cWhen I get in the workforce, then I\u2019ll get the job that I\u2019ll be in for 30 or 40 years.\u201d Well, that\u2019s not the reality for our kids today, who may be in ten different jobs before they retire\u2014which doesn\u2019t make the old way right or wrong or this way right or wrong\u2014it\u2019s just the reality that: \u201cYou\u2019ve got a lot of time to figure out what your purpose is. Just start doing some things.\u201d\n\n<strong>Pete<\/strong>: We say: \u201cWe know God\u2019s will for your life,\u201d and \u201cWe know the purpose for your life, in a general sense. And then, specifically, you\u2019ll flesh that out a little differently.\u201d The purpose of <em>everyone\u2019s<\/em> life is to love God and to love people\u2014that\u2019s for every single human on the earth. We also know God\u2019s will for your life; because, in the Bible, several places it says, \u201cThis is God\u2019s will for you\u2026\u201d; so we can grab those, and compile them, and have a list.\n\nBut then, it begins: \u201cCareer choice,\u201d or \u201cWhat are you going to major in?\u201d \u201cWhat are you going to do after college?\u201d \u201cYou going to go for a gap year?\u201d \u201cAre you going to go travel after?\u201d All these types of questions start to be ones that you, actually, start to figure that out for yourself. I also believe we can\u2019t mess it up; because if I could have messed it up, I already would have. I\u2019ve made some poor decisions in my life. That doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t make bad decisions with <em>very<\/em> bad consequences\u2014I\u2019m not saying <em>that<\/em>.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> But it\u2019s reassuring that it\u2019s never too late.\n\n<strong>Pete:<\/strong> It\u2019s never <em>too<\/em> late; because think about it: \u201cIf I\u2019d chosen the wrong college\u2014that God had this perfect college for me to choose\u2014that was the one I was supposed to meet my wife at\u2014but I go to a different college. I meet a different gal and get married. Am I going to have a second-best wife? What if I have kids with that wife?\u2014second-best kids? That\u2019s not how God works.\n\nSo I know we can have that security that we can\u2019t mess up God\u2019s will for our life, actually. We can make good decisions\/bad decisions, good judgements\/bad judgements; but we can hold onto that\u2014that He\u2019s going to see us through and He\u2019s standing over time. You might be in a spot, where you\u2019ve thought, \u201cI made a decision I can\u2019t rally back from,\u201d and that\u2019s <em>not<\/em> true.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, and I\u2019ve told my kids over the years\u2014I said: \u201cYou have two kinds of decisions you make. You make good decisions, or you make decisions that invite learning opportunities for you. [Laughter]\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That\u2019s good.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cThose are the two; so when you make a decision, at the end of it, you either go: \u2018That was a good decision,\u2019 or \u2018I can learn something from the decision I just made.\u2019 At that point, every decision is <em>redeemable<\/em> in God\u2019s purpose for you to grow and expand.\u201d And your kids <em>need<\/em> those.\n\nIn fact, before your kids graduate, they need to be making some decisions that are learning decisions, under your supervision; so you\u2019re there to coach them and help them so they learn, not just how to change a tire, but they learn how to deal with failure. They learn how to deal with discouragement. They get some learning out of that; right?\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; that very thought created many fights in our home.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I was just going to say that\u2014like this was a tension point.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We\u2019re going to have a fight right now about it. [Laughter] No; we would fight about that; because I was the dad, saying: \u201cI want them to make bad decisions. They\u2019re going to make bad decisions.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> You didn\u2019t want them to, but you were <em>willing<\/em> to see\u2014\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> No; I wanted them to. See, there is the fight. [Laughter] I\u2019m like, \u201cI want to be a part of helping them pick up the broken pieces.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You\u2019re a <em>realist<\/em>\u2014you know they\u2019re going to <em>make<\/em> bad decisions.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; I mean, they\u2019re going to do it later. They\u2019re going to be out there, and we\u2019re not going to be around. Again, I don\u2019t want to control it; but I wanted to be part of the journey as they make bad decisions\u2014to be there and say: \u201cOkay;\u201d\u2014it\u2019s Adulting 101\u2014it\u2019s like, \u201cOkay; how do we become adults in the situation while they\u2019re still here?\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, and Ann, I think the point for folks listening today is: \u201cAs you\u2019re raising kids, you want them to be able to adult early.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cYou want them to be able to embrace life and to manage life well. And to do that, you\u2019ve got to be engaged and involved, as a parent, and you can\u2019t just be casual about this. Even the best parent, who does the best job\u2014there\u2019s still going to be gaps in what you do\u2014but get in the game and be as proactive as you can be.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes; I can remember\u2014I <em>love<\/em> that you guys are talking about this; because as a second grader\u2014I was eight years old, didn\u2019t go to church, had no church background\u2014but I can remember saying, \u201cGod, why was I put on this earth?\u201d\u2014and that\u2019s young. I remember saying that to my 85-year-old dad, at one point. I said \u201cDad, do you remember the first time you thought, \u2018Why was I put on this earth?\u2019\u201d And he said, \u201cI\u2019ve never had that thought in my entire life, and I\u2019m 85 years old.\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Wow.\n\n<strong>Ann:<\/strong> But because that was burning in my heart, I remember laying down with our boys, when they were little, and I would say things like, \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see what God has for you.\u201d They would be\u2014this was little\u2014and they would say, \u201cIs it a present?\u201d I said: \u201cKind of; because when you discover what God put in you\u2014in your gifts, and your talents, and passions\u2014it is like a present because you\u2014when you do something in the future\/when you do it\u2014you think, \u2018That is why I was put on this earth.\u2019\u201d I\u2019m sure there are a lot of different things\u2014to see them, now, as adult men\u2014but it got them to start <em>looking<\/em> for what God had for them.\n\n<strong>Dave:<\/strong> It is interesting. Ann is so far ahead of me on this whole thing\u2014second grade; really?\u2014I was 18. I can tell you where I was sitting the day a teacher read\n\nMatthew 22\u2014when the teacher came to Jesus\u2014that\u2019s what you were referring to\u2014and said, \u201cWhat\u2019s the most important commandment?\u201d I\u2019ll read it to you\u2014it\u2019s right here. Jesus says: \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.\u201d You think He\u2019s done; and then He says: \u201cAnd the second is like it; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.\u201d\n\nI remember sitting there, thinking: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what I do, vocationally; I\u2019ve got to do <em>that<\/em> whatever I do. That\u2019s my <em>purpose<\/em>\u2014now, what does that look like?\u201d\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> For moms and dads to be engaged with their kids around that very subject is critical, and you guys have provided help for us in that assignment with the book you\u2019ve written called <em>Adulting 101: #Wisdom4Life<\/em>. This is not just a book for a parent to buy and leave on their young adult\u2019s bed. This is a great book for parents to go through, chapter by chapter, with a high school student or with a college student before you\u2019re ready to launch them into adulthood. Walk through this with them and just say \u201cI just want to make sure you\u2019re comfortable in all of these areas or see if there\u2019s anything I need to help you with.\u201d\n\nWe\u2019ve got copies of the book, <em>Adulting 101: #Wisdom4Life<\/em>. It\u2019s in our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center. You can order it from us, online, at FamilyLifeToday.com. Or you can call to order: 1-800-FL-TODAY.

He\u2019s got some thoughts on this subject of adulting; right David?\n\n<strong>David:<\/strong> That\u2019s right. You know, Bob, <em>before<\/em> coming to FamilyLife, Meg and I worked with 20-somethings in New York City. And often we described what we did as re-parenting and helping 20-somethings <em>grow<\/em> into adulthood. As we worked with many driven millennials, who were trying to make it in such a ruthless city and discovering their life\u2019s purpose and place, we often reminded them of three core callings every follower of Jesus had, no matter what stage of life you\u2019re in.\n\nOne, daily orienting your life to a moment-by-moment relationship with God. It brings <em>so<\/em> much glory to Him when we do that.\n\nNumber two, God has currently given us a handful of people that you were meant to pursue and love like Jesus loved. To love your neighbors, that God has put around you right now in your life, actually glorifies Him <em>so<\/em> much.\n\nAnd finally, God has given us the place that we live; and \u201cHow can we pursue the common good of the people in the place that He\u2019s put us?\u201d\n\nOne of the best ways to help young people adult well and grow into \u201cWhat is next in their life?\u201d is to help them know what it looks like to \u201clive like Jesus\u201d right where they are.\n\n<strong>Bob:<\/strong> That\u2019s good. Thank you.\n\nI hope our listeners can join us back tomorrow. We\u2019re going to continue the conversation. We\u2019re going to talk about how moms and dads can continue to have a strong healthy relationship with their children as those children move into a new phase of life into independence.
