College Ministry: Understanding the Millennial ‘Hook-Up’ Culture

Bryan Sands, director of campus ministries at Hope International University in Fullerton, California, and author of Everyone Loves Sex: So Why Wait? A Discussion in Sexual Faithfulness, led a six-session small-group study based on the book. In the video below, Bryan and several students discuss the dating scene for American college students—including the culture of “hooking up”—and how Christians can be faithful to Christ in the midst of temptation.
