• Trending #5: SEN/D, Neurodiversity and the Hyper-Diagnostic Age - Abz Adekeye

  If Jesus heart was disproportionately oriented towards anyone, it was consistently the most marginalised in society. And in today’s world, that can way too often mean those young people with neurodivergence and special educational needs. But if the gospel is for anyone, it’s for them!That’s why we sat down with psychologist and experienced youth worker, Abz Adekeye, to discuss how to better engage the whole range of young people, and not just the majority. 👌In this crucial conversation, we discuss…  ✅ The meaning behind the terms ‘SEN/D’ and ’Neurodiversity’ ✅ What’s behind the rise in the number of young people being diagnosed as neurodivergent✅ The positives and problems associated with a “hyper-diagnostic age” ✅ Autism and the idea of “autism acceptance” ✅ Practical tips and resources for youth ministry     and loads more! This is an incredibly stimulating and practically helpful conversation. You’ll need your notepads, and your thinking-caps, for this one! 😅Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen. Enjoy! 🎧FOR LIMITLESS FESTIVAL National website for finding local SENDIASS resources Disability and inclusion toolkit Neurodiversity ToolkitWhat is autism?  Sensory differencesSensory mapping example from the British Museum  Information for autistic teenagers Blob Tree for naming "where you at"Information about regulating your nervous system: A to Z Zones of regulation

• Trending #4: The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God - Justin Brierley

  We’ve all heard the story: declining church attendance, particularly among younger generations, the rise of the “nones,”  and the seemingly unstoppable emergence of the secular age. We know that stats: 48% of churches in the UK have fewer than five under 16 year olds, 95% of young people in the UK don’t go to church etc etc. It all seems like bad news…. 😔But…Could the tide be turning? According to Justin Brierley, author of The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God, there is much reason for hope! 🙌We discuss…  ✅ The rise and fall of New Atheism ✅ The importance of embracing both the intellect and the imagination✅ The ‘spiritual but not religious’ generation ✅ The link between a culture of individualism and a crisis of meaning✅ Cancel Culture   and why we should ‘keep Christianity weird”!This is a conversation that will inspire hope as well as lay out some clear missional priorities for the road ahead. Essential listening. 👌Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen. Enjoy! 🎧FOR LIMITLESS FESTIVAL FOR JUSTIN’S BOOKS AND PODCASTS

• Trending #3: Feel Good News - Dave Newton

  How do we share the gospel relevantly with the next generation, without changing the message? This is the great challenge the church must continually wrestle with, learning to communicate timeless truths in captivating ways. But… that’s easier said than done, right!? 😅Research into the ‘signs of the times’ can be incredibly helpful as we consider how adapt our outreach as culture shifts. And that’s why Dave Newton, National Director of Scripture Union, joined us for a chat about Feel Good News, a piece of research intohow young people across the UK respond to the Christian message. It’s the largest and most comprehensive work done in this field in this century, so is well worthy of our attention! 🔥We wrestle with a lot of profound, and at times challenging, implications here, including…  ✅ Apathy ✅ God & Love✅ Hope & Purpose ✅ Community ✅ Justice  ✅ Suffering… and loads more! Jesus’ challenge to his disciples in Matthew 16 was to read the ‘signs of the times’: to listen, to learn and better understand in order to discern the missional environment. The conversation is an opportunity to do just that. 👌Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen. 👂Enjoy! 🎧FOR LIMITLESS FESTIVAL FOR FEEL GOOD NEWS REPORT
