ABHE Leaders
Helping college students connect with God outside of chapels and classes.
“By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 3:10-11
The Partnership
Student spiritual transformation begins with meeting students where they are, and that’s a serious challenge. Each incoming class arrives with different questions and struggles. Their spiritual maturity and readiness for a deeper relationship with God fluctuate. As a result, it can be difficult to know what they’re dealing with or looking for, and how to meet them in the space between what they want and what they need.
Reclaim Today, a division of Our Daily Bread Ministries, specializes in understanding and engaging Gen Z and Millennial Christians. We want to help you both understand and serve your students, so they connect and grow deeper with God outside of only chapels and classes.
Why Reclaim Today?
Reclaim Today keeps a steady eye on research surrounding the struggles, needs, desires, and questions of Gen Z and Millennial Christians. We then apply the research to reach these generations where they are, and help them connect with God in the ordinary, extraordinary, everyday moments of life. Once connected, we invite them to engage in spiritual formation habits to learn what it means to live out their faith. Since our launch in 2020, we have grown to serve over 450k 18-44-year-olds on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
of Reclaim Today’s large and growing audience is between the ages of 18 and 39.
ABHE is pleased to be in partnership with the Reclaim Today team at Our Daily Bread. God is at work in the hearts and minds of this next generation of young adults. We look forward to seeing how this partnership will contribute to deep and meaningful spiritual growth that advances His Kingdom!

How We Can Help You
LIMITED SPACE: Equip student leaders: Student in-person spiritual training and professional development (certificate program)
Reclaim Today is hosting an in-person intensive training for 30 student leaders at the ABHE annual meeting (Feb 19-21, 2024) in Orlando, Florida. College students will be trained in professional content development and graphic design for the purpose of reaching other college students with the life-changing story and wisdom of the Bible. By participating, not only will your student leaders be better equipped for their careers and as spiritual leaders on your campus, but the name of your school will be attached to these content pieces as they are used to reach other college students from all over the world. The application is live and hosted on the student page with more information. Cost: $200 per student ($100 paid by student, $100 paid by university; once accepted, payment is nonrefundable). Note: Travel and onsite expenses are covered by the ABHE and Reclaim Today partnership.
Equip your faculty and staff with up-to-date research insights about Gen Z and Millenial Christians
Discover the spiritual, emotional, and relational needs of Gen Z and Millennials for the purpose of crafting transformation strategies for your campus.
- Option 1: Video presentation with optional Zoom Q&A
- Option 2: In-person presentation with live Q&A
Both options come with one year of monthly research insight emails that include a practical application for effectively engaging and ministering to Gen Z and Millennials.
Determine the specific needs and concerns of the students on your campus
Take the research a step further by implementing our robust survey. Research is conducted in partnership with psychologist, Dr. Todd Hall, and through an Institutional Review Board for the safety of your students. The survey only takes 10 minutes for each student, and reports will be customized for your campus with recommendations for what to prioritize, celebrate, review, and maintain.
Dr. Todd Hall is a professor of Psychology at Biola University and a faculty affiliate at the Harvard Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University.
Connect your campus to the Reclaim Today spiritual transformation journey
Reclaim Today offers a monthly rhythm of diving into spiritual disciplines for whole-life transformation. Each year, we cover formation topics such as: Rest, Prayer, Silence and Solitude, Bible Reading, Waiting, Friendship, Confession, Fasting, Creation Care, Simplicity, Embodiment, and Celebration. The month begins with an introduction video to the topic along with 12 optional ways to try out the practice. Each week we send a text or email to the students with a prayer, Scripture meditation, article, or group practice to lean into the monthly practice.
