Watch or listen to Darren Young, President of Power to Change (P2C) and a member of our CBS Board of Directors, being interviewed by Joanna la Fleur. In this episode, Darren shares about the great impact of Scripture on his life - in guiding his decisions and steps, and how it now guides his leadership of P2C. It's a pivotal time and Darren is seeing a rising generation who are spiritually open to the Gospel. He wants to encourage and equip the Church and other organizations to help people, especially this generation, know Jesus and experience His power.

In this interview, Darren and Joanna discuss:

God called Darren to a life of ministry through Scripture when he heard Crawford Loretz speak about 1 John 1:5 at a conference - that God is light and in Him there is no darkness - no darkness at all.
Power to Change’s ministry is reaching college and university students and Darren goes on to say that this is a pivotal time when these students are in the midst of making important life decisions.
Cultural moments are pointing this generation to Jesus and Darren shares that there is a call for them to be very spiritually open to God’s story and to hear it in a fresh way.
There are three key ingredients to sharing faith that Darren talks about - inspiration, equipping and community, but he goes on to say that typically only the first two are focused upon.
Darren prays for the next generation, that they will be the ones who will see the greatest breakthrough any of us have ever experienced.

Darren Young joined the CBS Board of Directors in October 2023. He was captured by the mission of God through the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC), as a student of Simon Fraser University. It was there that God captured him with a life burden to help people know Jesus. He joined staff with CCC and for the next eight years he served as the Chief Financial Officer and Director of Leadership Development and Human Resources.

In 2006, God gripped Darren’s heart for the local church, where he spent the next 13 years preaching God’s Word, shepherding a congregation, and igniting people to evangelism at Town and Field Church in Langley, BC. During his time pastoring, he was heavily involved with Leadership Network (LN), and in 2019 he joined LN as the Chief Operation Officer, and then Acting CEO.

In 2020 he also helped pioneer an organization called Executive Leadership Solutions. Darren returned to his roots in June of 2021, when God called him back to Power to Change (P2C) as President.

Over the last four years, it has been Darren’s great joy to lead P2C into a new season of faithfully stewarding the mission that God entrusted to Power to Change so many years ago. Darren has been married to his redheaded sweetheart for 25 years and together they have two amazing bo
