We as Christians spend a lot of time encouraging people to have faith. However, once people have faith do we teach them how hang on to their faith.  Today, we are living in a world where a lot of people, especially young people do not necessarily see the relevance of God in their life. The enemy is deceiving them into thinking that God has become ill-relevant. They are starting to believe they will make without coming to church, with coming to Bible study, and without being in fellowship with other believers. Recently, I had a conversation with a minister friend of mine and his biggest disappointment and challenge is that his young adult children do not see the relevancy of God in their life. I have recently been checking in with young people in their twenties and thirties, they disclose to me that their biggest challenge life is that they do not have network of believers of their own age around them that take their relationship with God seriously.  The world is telling them that they all they need is money and everything will be okay. The world is telling them that God has abandon them when they have adversity like death in the family, loss of job, or failure of relationships. As I reflected on my time as youth pastor, I asked myself the following: Did I teach the young people how to fight for their faith?
