In Hungry for Hope, a collective of young adults identify crucial issues that define our times, examine how churches have caused harm and how young adults have been grieving the church’s failures, and express their hopes and dreams for the church’s future. Exploring topics like climate change; mental health; inclusion and liberation; and sex, shame and intimacy, faithful young people illuminate the importance of community and offer insights about how the church can flourish going forward.
