Parents, do not despair - there is hope for our young people!

Alongside all the current crises they are facing – mental health challenges, societal pressures, and an epidemic of faith deconstruction that is leading some to walk away from Jesus – Liz Bewley is convinced that the Holy Spirit is moving

When did your faith journey begin? I became a Christian when I was 13 through my parents, but I didn’t have a Christian community till I was 21. I connected with God through devotionals, walking the dog in the woods and talking to my mum over the washing up. Those early years were built without discipleship or community. The word Christian made me cringe, but I distinctly remember working through what it meant for me to live out my faith in day-to-day life. For me, it wasn’t about having all the answers, but about becoming someone who loves with confidence.
