Millennial Minute: We have an assignment!!!

Millennial Dominic Lyons talks with Emunah Co-hosts Charisse and Tamara about the obligation millennials have to vote. Studies show that major concerns of millennials are high student loan debts, the cost of living, inflation, gun violence and climate change. Also this election year is important because of the possibility of having a black woman run this country. And, many millennials are seeking key roles in government. For example, former president Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, is the first person from the millennial generation to run on a U.S. major party presidential ticket. Vice President Kamala Harris, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, acknowledges that young voters are key and their votes must be earned. "Here's a big reason why we need to vote," Dominic says. "We've been put here on assignment. Jesus was put here on assignment to SAVE the world. Moses was given the assignment to LEAD the Israelites out of Egypt to freedom and Joshua was tasked to LEAD the children of Israel into the Promised Land. "Yes, You need to VOTE. It's your assignment," he stressed. Scriptures used during the episode include Genesis 23:4; Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17, 10:19, and 27:19; Leviticus 19:34 and 25:21; Psalm 139 and Matthew 25: 35-40.

A native of Washington, D.C., Dominic says he has been involved in politics for more than a decade. He's an active member of First Baptist Church of Glenarden International. He loves golf, listening to music, going to movies, traveling and reading. Dominic has participated in other Millennial Minute episodes, including April 19, 2024 - when he joined Bianca Shante to discuss mental health, compromise and the meaning of Christian. And on January 19, 2024 when he and Minister Larisha Warner weighed in on Christian hip hop and whether its healthy for young adults. We want to hear from you.
