In response to the tremendous success of the 2014 blockbuster movie “God’s Not Dead,” the film’s executive producer, Troy Duhon, desired to follow up with audiences by continuing the dialogue on the road.
So he created the Millennial Tour, a unique experience geared toward helping high school and college students become rooted in their faith so they can engage in challenging conversations with nonbelievers.
The tour features a variety of young actors, speakers and musicians with insightful messages about tough topics. Each message is specifically designed to encourage and equip a generation of believers as they prepare to defend their faith among skeptics.
One of the performers on the Millennial Tour is Jor’Dan Armstrong, a 2015 Stellar Award nominee and Billboard charting gospel R&B artist. Armstrong has seen firsthand the positive impact this tour is making on audiences across the country.
Immediate responses
“As soon as we leave the arena, we are seeing posts all over social media about how the message impacted young people,” he said. “With all the artists coming together and presenting this message, it’s really a life-changing experience seeing how God is at work in this generation.
“I’ve even heard from parents who have told me that their kids are doing better in school and being more respectful. That’s the confirmation I really enjoy and it motivates me to keep sharing this message and impacting this generation. There is no greater feeling than knowing you have helped change someone’s life by leading them to Christ.”
The tour speakers also give practical tips and advice to help students better reach their peers.
“I think this generation is searching for guidance,” Armstrong said. “One of the lessons I’ve learned personally is that a lot of things that mattered to me at a young age don’t matter anymore. I’ve learned that you have to focus on the things that are unchanging. God’s Word will never change.”
While addressing relevant topics on the tour, speakers also emphasize the importance of taking a bold stand for Christ.
“With this tour, we are promoting the importance of standing up for what you believe in and promoting the gospel,” Armstrong said. “For those who are not already Christians, our prayer is that they will have a life-changing experience as they realize their need for a Savior because we are proclaiming that Jesus is our Savior, and we are living for Him.
“We’ve heard from students who tell us they don’t want to be left out, considered uncool, weird or crazy by being labeled as a Christian. We are really emphasizing to them that you can be cool and be a Christian.
“I’m excited to be a part of this tour and promoting this message. Being around others who share the same beliefs, it’s really an amazing opportunity for students to be encouraged in their faith.”
