Turning 29 today :) Met the love of my life last year. Hoping to graduate this year and get a job and ask her hand in marriage :) If you're reading this, do pray for us.

Here's the six: 1.) Find a radical Christ-centered wife (unless you're called to singleness.) 2.) Find a Bible believing church, be accountable to that community as they help you find your gifts 3.) Become as Bible-saturated as you can 4.) Resolve to read your Bible every day of your life 5.) Become a Christian hedonist 6.) Memorize Psalm 25 and pray it as your own

“God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him.”

Loved the piece that explained: when you read the bible, don’t get your pleasure from checking off the bible box and feeling good about yourself, but rather get your pleasure from an encounter with God.

22 and happily married to a Holy Spirit filled woman who loves Jesus!! Thank you Mr. Pippy

I'm soon going to be 30 years old and If I could relive my 20s, I would say these are the things I would do differently: 1. Pray more (Leonard Ravenhill said, "no man is greater than his prayer life"). I'd devote at least three or four hours a day. 2. I'd master fasting as a life style as soon as possible. Not only would I seek to do it weekly, but also stretch spiritual muscles to reach 21 days, no food and only water. 3. Get educated formally as soon as possible. 4. Take care of my body as a very high priority (work out, eat right, etc). 5. Master personal finances as soon as possible. 6. Find a mentor for the things I want to grow in, and not try to learn everything myself. 7. Discover a way to make passive income and stick to it. 8. Prioritize my reading differently. Instead of reading widely, I would have searched the greatest books for each subject and topic of my interest, and stick to only reading the best of books. I've wasted time sorting through the chaff to find the wheat. 9. Have a better structure to the way I read the Bible and devote more time in the old testament.

If the LORD leads you, please pray for the salvation of my dad and mom, 87 and 89 years old. Thank you for your prayers for Tito and Sukie!!!

This video is published on my 22nd birthday, so the message feels like a present from God for its perfect timing! I've been listening to John Piper's sermons and podcasts for a while and always come away with a new perspective or a deeper meaning of the topic. He speaks the truth! If God wills me to reach 72 years, I hope to indeed have followed the stated advice and lived a life delightful to God. ||| Use my life and all of my talents for you, God! |||

As a young Christian, and someone who just recently turned 20, I am glad that God gave me friends who would care enough to recommend skilled teachers to me that God might show me the things that I need to see.

22 years old right now! Shoutout!!

A few days ago, I was crying out to God about his purpose for my life and my desire to fulfill what he has for me. It is so hard for me to give up my life and trust the Lord with all my heart. I was also asking God for scripture to read, and psalm 25 just came to me. It was almost my exact prayer to the Lord. And here again it shows up in this video. Please pray for my life and that my faith and desire would grow, that they would be so strong worldly desires would be so small in comparison so I would not be persuaded. Thank you Lord and Glory be to your Name. Do with me what YOU will.

I turn 22 in 6 days. Thank you, Jesus, for finding me and calling me at such a young age. In college, two years ago, God rescued me from the pit and changed my life. He told me distinctly to stop drinking, smoking, and engaging in sex as I had been. But- He said it in a way that called me. He made me want to change, happy to change because his grace was shown completely. His mercy was revealed in every fiber of my being. I'll never forget those lonely days in my dorm room crying myself to sleep every night with Jesus. I desperately prayed to be delivered from depression, anxiety, aspergers. But it's funny now because I look back, and those were the moments I was closest to God. Every second of my day was with God, every breath was in consideration to God, every morning was God, and every thought was to God. I pray I return to that intimate dependence I had on Jesus.

“I would seek more joy in God than anything else in the world, for the sake of personal holiness, perseverance through pain, and promotion of the glory of the God. I would get clarity and certainty around this sentence: God is most glorified in you when you’re most satisfied in Him..”

Wow. I'm going to prioritise my Bible reading.

I'm 22 and turning 23 this october. This message speaks volume to me. Thank you so much for sharing!

Watching this in 2023. I'm 21 and this has really blessed me

I am reading this on New Year’s Day 2020. I am 62 years old. What a wonderful powerful message for people at any age, from teenagers to people in their 80’s.

I am 35,not married,but this episode seem so timely 😊Thank you,Pastor!

I’ve got 2 weeks left in my 20s haha BUT this type of wisdom is solid!!!! Will definitely take heed.

I don't want to start all over at 48.I wouldn't change anything for the suffering I went through because I would have never been drawn to the Father without it.💯

It is currently 2/16/23 at 10:37pm. I am 22 years old, and on fire for Jesus. God did not have this video show up for no reason, and I am dedicating myself to these 6 things. Praise the Lord

I’m 29 and I was kind of avoiding this video because I thought it would be mentioning anything having to do with finances an area I feel I’ve failed in. Thank you Lord for helping me see what truly matters!

27 and still unmarried... hope I follow those true and helpful advices.

27, already working on the first three. May God bless all of us as we endeavor to live our lives fully satisfied by Him in this sinful, wicked world. #SoliDeoGloria #EcclesiaReformata #SemperReformanda

I turned 20 last month. This is inspiring, convicting, and HARD to hear!!!! Pray for me, Christian family across the world.

Turning twenty-two tomorrow. What a powerful message, praise the Lord!

Thank you for this! I am 20 years old and this is very helpful since I worry about my future.

When I was in my young twenties when I would pray I would envision myself on a boat in dark water but there was this full moon with me wherever I went and the only way I got anywhere was the wind in the sails of my boat I won't ever forget the vision I was I given Jesus is in my sail and God is my moon and I'm the vessel I asked Jesus then to use me for his will and my life's changed so much ever since!

This message is really good. However, the listener needs to remember that this is an ideal. Everyone's journey is different. We aren't John Piper. We don't meed to go on missions trips or seminary school. But no matter how we pursue Christ, this truth remains: God loves us.

The first 10 seconds of the video gave me chills, I'm currently 22 right now. I feel like God wants me to hear this message

The best 20 minutes of my day. John Piper has been my favorite for his contagious love for God's Word and for the gifted communicator that he is. He communicates not just with this choicest words but through his amazing body language! "God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him." - Thank you, Piper, for bestowing the world this statement.

I'm truly touched. I will turn 31 this year. I and pray God to help me get this and more points down.

God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him

Thanks John! That was inspiring, encouraging and a good reminder to refocus. 👍

Still 22 and Hearing this now. Its a blessing

Thank you Dr.Piper...Great list and Advice

This was perfect for me and the time that I am living. Thank you.

I'm 23, strongly desire a wife and I'm faced with what seems to be a pivotal point in my life where I may go into missions, but I fear going alone. Please pray for me..

I'm 17 and I needed to hear this today, thank you.

Well this is God’s providence. 22 and a fee minutes before the 2020 New Year! God Bless you brothers and sisters in your walk with our beloved Lord. ❤️🔥🎉

Thank you, Noel, for supporting your husband's call. His faithfulness to God's word has changed countless lives! You could have quashed it from the get-go. Thank you, thank you for being a Godly wife, even in those early years.

22 here. Thank you for this message. God bless!

Really appreciate this video !! I am 19 and blessed to listen this ...

THANK YOU SO MUCH, PASTOR JOHN!

This is absolutely amazing. It's not what I expected. Usually we would get some long speech of how to gain wealth and invest finances. This was very different and very refreshing. Thank you to the desiring God team.

Priceless advice! I can't thank you enough.

Hallelujah! How glorified our God is in your life, John Piper! Praises and glory to our God for your life! Hallelujah! Thank you! Thank You Lord Jesus! Hallelujah!

Thank You! God bless you!

Bible is his top focus daily. Read the Bible every day. God helps me to do so daily

Your ministry was pivotal in very crucial decision making. Thank you so much sir

Thank you 🙏 Glory be to God!

may our young people take this to heart and may we help them to do it Lord

I thank God for this audio!

I'm turning 24 this year, I hear the Lord saying it not too late.

I am 22 right now. Thank you Brother Piper and your team here for ministering into the lives of believers in my age category. Thank you for sharing wisdom that God has given to you through revelation in His Word. Thank you!

This is perfect right now. I turn 22 in 8 days and am a new member to the church, baptised last summer. I need positive influences like this every day to help me achieve the life my soul truly desires, more than just what the natural man in me wants. I'm at a stage where my life could very easily go either one of two ways. I know the right way is the gospel and am fighting daily battles against Satan and his temptation in order to stay on the righteous path. I love you Jesus, and I love my Heavenly Father.

I just got 20 and it was on my timeline. Praise God !

Blessed be the awesome name of the Father for leading me to this insightfull video, I'm more excited for this eye-opening video🕊️ May the Father above save your soul for His kingdom, pastor👑

Thanks pastor John. I am from Nigeria and I am already 26. I will apply these six things Thank you.

This makes me understand how I should be living. God should be at the centre of my life. Because I was created by Him for His Glory. And that’s my endeavour, to seek after and live the life He purposed for me.

27 years Old. Really needed to here all of this.

God uses us all at different points of our lives, throughout the whole of our lives. His timing is our timing. Stay close and that is all He wants. The rest He will guide us to.

😍 wow! 👏👏 I Thanks God 4 ur life, what a word!⚡

Found this video as I'm just about to hit 22, God's word is so powerful!

Great advice Pastor!

It is great to hear that at 22, even though we are far from one another, pastor John. Thank you for your help and example. God bless you. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.

I am 22 and this video was in my suggestions. God works mysteriously

😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 this is so packed, my Lord 🙌🙌

Precious six lessons. My dreams for my future through God grace, mercy and love. Amen 🙏🏻

If I could like this a thousand times, I would. Thank you, Pastor John.

Amen! God bless y'all.

21 year old in Kenya, Africa on a serious mission to search for God and live in His truth don't listen to the outside world esp In the kind of world we're living in He is not a respector of man

when I was 22 I was somehow convinced that I had the time and power to undo any mistake that I could possibly make. When I turned 30 I realised that many of my mistakes were rather irreversible and now in my mid 40's I have learned to live with most of the consequences of my past mistakes by the grace of God. If you are in your twenties, please listen to what the old John Piper is telling you here and listen well. Life is not a toy. Don't mess up your life

Just turned 23 two days ago, but by God's grace, I still have time to apply these things to my life. Praise the Lord!

One of the powerful and important message I ever hear.

Fantastic message.

25 now thanks for these wise lessons!

21 and made my decision to serve God. So excited and can't wait to Kickstart the adventure especially getting married and going places.

Amazing word. Thank you!

I love John Piper's preaching, his passion about the things he loves. I'm not even a Christian but a fan of his.

I will be 24 in a few weeks and this is an answered prayer

Thank You

Great great advice for our young adults!

Thank you Reverend Piper! ... Be a Christian Hedonist. Dig in through the Bible until you get a clear message, a clear emotional experience. These are just what I needed to hear today.

I’m turning 22 this Christmas Eve. 🙏🏽💃🏽

It was such a beautiful lecture. A muslim but still hearing.

this should be on podcast, definitely

Thanks for the shared video

I’m 60 I just moved in with my elderly parents to take care of them Take is my background I’m praying that the Lord leads me to a Church that will help me grow and eventually guide me too my next mission in Christ.I’m ready willing and God willing able to go wherever he wants me

Amazing. I will be 22 in 5 days. Timely.

Funny I’m seeing this, and I’m 22 getting married in February excited to see what God has for us, pray for us brothers and sisters🙌

I'm 19, so hearing this before I turn 20 next year in the coming months I think will give me great advice! G-D bless Pastor John, I thank G-D for you John Piper! 😊

This is amazing

Thank you it blessed me

Thanks!

I appreciate you alot

Yay I am 22 listening to this😁🙏

22 years old and taking notes !

Wonderful video, as I’m supposed to turn 22 in less than 3 months. Thank You, Lord, for showing me this !

Man I’m reading all of your comments and I can only think how come I don’t feel as strongly as you all do? I read, pray and have accepted Christ as lord but I don’t have this level of enthusiasm.
