3. Let’s Deconstruct “Deconstruction” || Do you know someone facing a “mid-faith crisis”? Many young adults are deciding to deconstruct their faith, often times to a less than exciting result. Help them know that they’re not alone, and encourage them to find answers with others.

4. I Almost Walked Away From My Faith || This is Sarah’s story of re-framing her faith. Instead of deconstructing, she “renovates.”

8. 3 Myths I Fell For in University || Busting these myths ahead of time can help your student walk out their faith journey in university/college.

9. Listen to a panel discussion of current post-secondary students offering their advice.

10.  Shepherding Your Graduating Students Through the Transition to Post-Secondary || Watch this on-demand webinar created in partnership with YWC and Youth Alpha.

One of the great ways you can support your students in this season is by connecting them to great scholarship funding.
