New Creation Conversations Episode 063 - Erica Young Reitz on Life After College and Navigating Life's Transitions in Faith

Welcome to episode sixty-three of New Creation Conversations. I’m delighted to be joined in today’s conversation by Erica Young Reitz. Erica is an alum of Messiah College and has an MA in Higher Education from Geneva College. In recent years, Erica has been serving as the director of Senior EXIT, a one-year experience at Penn State University that prepares graduating college seniors for the transition into the next phase of life. She is the author of After College: Navigating Transitions, Relationships and Faith (published by InterVarsity Press).  

Last week I talked to Michael Lindsay about “Hinge Moments,” and since we are in the middle of graduation season and many of you are in the midst of transitions or have young people in your life that you are helping to navigate their way into adulthood, I thought it would be good to have a couple of conversations with people who have thought and written extensively about these moments of significant life transitions. Erica’s book is an excellent resource for parents, pastors, or campus leaders. I have four children in their twenties who are going through their own important life-trajectory decisions. I ordered a stack of Erica’s books to give to them and to the several graduates in my life. No matter where you are in life, I think there is much to glean from this conversation.
