Faith Journey

Trust is something we often don’t think about until it’s gone. We assume certain people, places, and institutions will be there for us and will do what they say they will do. But many young adults today have grown up in a world where that assumption has been challenged again and again. They have learned to ask questions, look for evidence, and pay attention to whether actions match words. In this resource, we’re going to explore what trust looks like for young adults, why their experiences have shaped the way they approach churches and institutions, and what we can do as congregational leaders to build communities where trust can grow.

The biggest faith conversations don’t happen from a stage. They happen in personal conversation and start with a question: “Can I ask you something?” Those moments feel important as a mentor to young adults because they are. In this resource, we’re talking about how to share your story, listen actively, and help young adults make sense of faith in a way that feels honest and rooted in their relationship with God. You don’t have to have all the answers. Showing up for the conversation is what matters.
