It began with Pastor Josh Komis, who started Living Hope Church in Sarasota, Florida. He prayed for a young leader to grow and lead. Aidan Gross, someone Josh had known for years, felt called by God to lead a Bible study.

Pastor Josh and Aidan met, shared a vision, and formed a partnership. Josh supported Aidan as he started the R12 Young Adults, the church’s official young adult group. What began with 7 people in a living room in August 2024 quickly grew to 50.

This growth wasn’t from social media or freebies, but from the power of God’s Word, the Spirit’s work, and young people eager to know the Truth and find freedom.

Now, Aidan is sharing the same message he walked through with the R12 Young Adults: What does it really mean to follow Jesus? How do we live a holy life that reflects what we say we believe? What is God’s plan for my life?

Aidan answers these questions and more in his new book, The Journey to New Life. The same message that helped disciple the R12 Young Adults will now help disciple the next generation.
