Vox for young people seeking/exploring Christian Faith
What’s life all about? Where do I belong? How can I find meaning and purpose? And what’s that all got to do with Christianity? These questions and more is what this resource helps young people explore.
Vox is a short 4 session course for age 13-19s, from Christianity Explored. This would work great in a youth group, or Christian Union, or maybe even after school club or drop in club. It’s created for young people without an existing Christian faith, so would be ideal for those who haven’t made a commitment, aren’t sure about if they want to follow their parents faith, or are curious about Christianity.
Vox is an opportunity to listen in to honest conversations about things that matter. Their camera crew follows six young people as they head to a location in the middle of nowhere so they can get back to the basics of life and the Christian faith. Over four episodes, we join these young people as they open up the Bible to explore Christianity and find out what God has to say about himself, about us, and about life here on earth. We listen to their conversations as they wrestle with their own questions, and share what matters to them.
The core 4-part youth series videos, web-based app, and downloadable PDF episode guides are all provided completely free of charge.
Each episode is presented by Dave and Swarzy and features a group of young people sharing their thoughts.
Dave Cornes is the Pastoral Lead at True Vine Church on the Isle of Wight and is passionate about seeing lives transformed by Jesus. His journey has taken him from the Island to South Africa and London, where he served as Youth and Evening Congregation Pastor. A dynamic speaker and presenter, Dave is committed to reaching emerging generations, biblical teaching, and multiplying discipleship.
Swarzy Shire is a London-based TV and radio broadcaster and presents BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Weekend Breakfast. She is also the creator of The Last Supper Club on YouTube where she cooks food, opens the Bible, and makes space for faith-filled conversations with those from the Christian faith and those seeking to learn more.
