  • Fighting for the next generation + Finding your Calling with Sean Dunn, President of Groundwire
    Jun 11 2025

    If they dont go to church, they are not interested in hearing more about Jesus. Today's guest Sean Dunn is on a mission to prove that statement wrong! He talks about the process it has been to get in front of Gen Z and Millenials, and how at times, he heard NOTHING from God on the matter. But how he kept his vision and faith through the process.

    Sean's Book: Contending for the Rising Generations: Winning Millennials and Gen Z with the Hope of the Gospel

    In this episode, you’ll discover…

    What is a key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:24)

    How reading the bible changed Sean. (2:30)

    How Sean holds himself accountable. (10:30)

    Hearing nothing from God. (23:30)

    Sean’s Bio:

    When Groundwire founder and President, Sean Dunn first heard a call toward ministry, he responded with a resounding “Yes.”

    A yes to be a part of God’s vision and mission for the youth of America. A heart for the lost and a deeply rooted faith in Jesus sustained him.

    While preaching and teaching the younger generations in churches, Sean felt another call from God, to go to the lost rather than waiting for the lost to come. Looking across his church community, he realized the lost were found outside of these walls and it was time for him to bring the gospel to them. So, where were they?

    The answer to that question quickly became clear, they are everywhere and yet connected through social media channels. That was it. That was the place where Sean could bring the gospel to the lost.

    And so, the strategy behind Groundwire was born. Creating compelling and well-produced video content, purchasing ad space on popular social media platforms, and interrupting the noise of today with the hope of Jesus. Groundwire brings a message of God’s loving kindness, his grace and compassion, to teens and young adults.

    Today, Groundwire operates multiple campaigns including JesusCares.com and WhenLifeHurts.com, as well as running campaigns in Spanish as AJesusleImporta.com and CuandolaVidaDuele.com. Each campaign invites viewers to chat with someone who cares through the 24/7 chat feature. Connecting people with coaches who are trained to listen, encourage, and ultimately point chatter to Jesus.

    Just like Sean said “yes” to God’s calling for his life, our hope is to lead the lost and broken to saying their own “yes” to a life with Jesus Christ.
