Sophia Pink: Young people are actually more optimistic about their own future than the future of our country. She says young people have a core belief in their own abilities and skills. The assumption is that we are made in God's image, she says. What does that look like for an individual purpose to be thrown into this massive cosmic timeless story?
At every age, we ask questions of identity, community, and meaning — Who am I? Where do I belong? What is my purpose? But college students today are asking them with unique urgency and anxiety.
In today's episode, we interview Kara Powell, a researcher at Fuller Youth Institute and co-author of 3 Big Questions that Change Every Teenager. We discuss how young people can better determine their purpose in life, how they can prepare for that purpose to change, and what the Christian tradition might have to offer.
