Youth Updates – Details, episodes & analysis

It's time to kick off a new season of Youth Updates! This time we're looking at young people and worship, whether we're always too late to the party on demure trends, a switch up in freshers weeks and our world famous word of the month!

It’s our last drop of Youth Updates before we take a break for the summer so hunker on down as we unpack a hot topic, trend, issue and our bussin’ word of the month, alongside our guest Jon Sewell aka Jon Jackal.

We're back for Season 3 of Youth Updates! Join Hannah and Beth as they chat with Neil O'Boyle, National Director of British Youth For Christ, about 3 things he sees going on in youth culture. You don't want to miss it!

Today we look at the humour of young people, the fresh wave of year 7s coming up into youth groups this Autumn, our word of the month and changes affecting those thinking about higher education. 

A 10% increase in counselling sessions about exam stress since the pandemic? This month in Youth Updates, Beth and Hannah discuss this NSPCC article as well as decoding the world of AI and ChatGPT alongside which artists are doing huge arena tours garnering a huge following online. Not forgetting our usual word of the month - give it a listen!

Join Beth as she asks 3 guests to unpack their answer to the question 'If you could go back in time to when you were a young person, what would you tell yourself?', exploring what they would say and how it links to young people today. And, of course, there's also our word of the month (with the intro sung beautifully by one of our guests!)

Join us as we talk about Andrew Tate, reflections from a festival, our word of the month and a run down of some basic social media terms!

Join us as we welcome a special guest, Rebecca, to chat about being a young adult in church and that key transition from youth to 'grown up' church. Alongside this we chat about the 'Prime' drink craze, Tiktok's new safety features and our word of the month!

Join Hannah and Beth as they unpack some reports on bullying and young people in the cost of living crisis, alongside talking about notable moments from the awards season so far and what 'the ick' is.

We are kicking off the new year in the best way we can possibly imagine – with a We Are Tearfund Takeover! Join us as we chat to Lian about the topic of racial injustice, the refugee crisis and being a leader in justice and what this means for young people and what they can do. We also hear from voices of young people and young adults on these topics too. You don’t want to miss it!
