I help churches and ministries understand and reach millennials and Gen Z.
I have a heart for seeing young adults live authentically and passionately as followers of Jesus.
I desire to see churches and communities that intentionally raise up devoted, resilient young leaders who will impact their churches, communities, country, and world with radical, everyday faithfulness to Christ. Parents and grandparents play a critical role in this process.
Meet Benjie Shaw
Raised an Army brat, I now call Watkinsville, GA home with my wife, two kids, and horse-sized dog.
I'm on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at the University of Georgia. Previously, I worked with a different campus ministry organization at UGA, Middle Tennessee State, and in Memphis, TN for almost 9 years.
I'm a graduate of Georgia Southern University (go Eagles!) and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. In my free time you can find me juggling 4-6 books at a time, eagerly expecting the next Marvel movie, trying new recipes, and doing my best to match my kids' energy levels.

You've done your apologetic homework. You've shared the reasons why belief in Jesus in reasonable. You've validated the historicity of the Bible. And yet, lost people aren't flocking to faith in Christ after you conversations.
What gives? The problem is that people aren't solely logical creatures. While good arguments are necessary, a distinctly Christian life is the most effective tool in our arsenal as we seek to influence others towards Christ.
Navigating the Minefield: Addressing the 5 Most Pressing Apologetic Questions from Young Adults
Young adults have lots of questions about how their faith addresses pressing issues. Unfortunately, they often find that their faith communities lack a strong understanding of the issues facing them or seem to possess a lack of compassion in their position. How can we help young adults balance grace and truth to the most pressing issues they face?
Sharing the Gospel with
Atheists, Agnostics,
and "Nones"
"Nones" are the fastest-growing religious group in the country and the largest group among those under the age of 29. Atheists and agnostics are also making steady gains in the population. Who are these people? And how can Christians faithfully share Jesus with them?
