20s&30s Gathering: Faith + Purpose (ft. Dr. Rob McKenna)

So many of us are trying to keep up—with expectations, timelines, and pressure—while quietly wondering if we’re actually following God. This talk invites us to slow the noise, root our identity in Christ, and learn what it looks like to trust God enough to move forward with intention, even when the path isn’t clear. It’s about shifting from performance to faith, and from reacting to life to walking with God on purpose.

What does it take to build a life and career you can trust—one that is both deeply meaningful and powerfully effective? Dr. Rob McKenna, Founder and CEO of WiLD Leaders + a congregant of Reach Church, has spent decades developing leaders across industries, from Fortune 100 companies to universities and nonprofits, and he’s bringing those lessons home to us. With humor, candor, and hard-won research, Rob will speak to the unique challenges of our 20s and 30s— navigating purpose, relationships, work, and faith—and how trust is the foundation for all of it.

Why Come?

  • Hear practical insights from one of the world’s top voices on leadership and trust, named among the top 30 I/O psychologists alive today.
  • Learn how to build trust in friendships, dating, marriage, and your workplace.
  • Explore how faith intersects with your calling and everyday leadership.
  • Walk away with tools you can actually use in your life right now—not just ideas.
  • Be inspired by someone who believes in investing in your generation as the leaders the world needs next.

WHY WE EXIST

20s & 30s was created for young people in the greater Seattle region to experience real faith, friendship, and fun.

If you’re anything like us, you’re used to your friends coming and going around here. In this transient region, it often feels like you’re starting over — and starting over alone. We’re exhausted trying to figure out who we are and where we’re going — all while trying to find our people. It seems like we’ll never not feel behind.

Amidst it all, it’s hard to care about following Jesus. At work and at home — the inadequacy, comparison, and anxiety all compete for our attention and distract us from what really matters. Culture is often dragging us away from exactly where Jesus wants us to go. How do we pursue real faith instead of settling for the bare minimum just to get by? What’s the point? Is it even worth it? In 2025, we need real faith and friendship more than ever.

So that’s what Reach 20s & 30s is going after: real fulfillment in Jesus, and real belonging with one another.



OUR VALUES + GOALS

Faith — Consistent, bold pursuit of authentic love for Jesus.

Friendship — Like-minded Jesus-followers to walk through life and faith with.

Fun — Simple time spent together for joy and memories.
