During the period of their education, many students feel that the questions and challenges that are posed in the secular academic environment are seriously undermining the foundations of their Christian worldview. They are starting to doubt their faith, identity and mission, but they have nobody to turn to. They feel ‘out of place’ in their local churches, due to the lack of a conscious effort on behalf of their community of believers to provide a safe environment where they could voice their concerns and doubts, explore their faith convictions, deepen their knowledge and experience of God, and develop a more refined, informed and nuanced Christian intellectual responses to the questions that they are encountering.
This PowerUP session aims to equip the leaders with useful ideas and tools that can help them to deal with doubts in their personal life or in the life of our believing friends. Come and learn from Zlatko Musija, the TED Youth Director, how to create a safe place where students can share their questions and struggles, where they can explore both doubt and faith.
