Although nearly 75% of young people are religious or spiritual, they don’t turn to their faith communities to help them through stressful moments in life. This gap can be bridged. The State of Religion & Young People 2021: Navigating Uncertainty has the data, insights, & frameworks to show you how.

The State of Religion & Young People 2021: Navigating Uncertainty is a stellar contribution to the research literature on young adult experiences with religion and spirituality with unique practice implications for a number of disciplines. Springtide has produced a thoughtful document with insights that may benefit stakeholders in multiple fields, including ministry, mental health, education, youth development, mentorship, and organizing. With attentiveness to dynamics of race, gender, sexuality, power – and the role of social institutions in mediating young peoples' sense of belonging during these times of great turmoil and transition – Springtide has convened incisive contributions from young adults alongside reflections from seasoned practitioners who are placing these findings into conversation with lived experiences. Against a cultural backdrop that may dismiss the inexperience of youth, Springtide extends an invitation to take the voices of young people seriously – and to wrestle with the implications of their wisdom for collectively shaping our world. I would highly recommend this resource for those seeking to better understand the inner lives of young adults, those seeking to join with youth in creating meaning, integration, and social cohesion in diverse communities, and all who are committed to the intergenerational labor of creating more safety, containment, and flourishing that will benefit future generations.

Through careful and intentional listening, the recent Springtide report, “Navigating Uncertainty,” allows readers to not only learn about the experiences of young people but to learn from young people about what they need and the strategies they use to build safe spaces for their whole selves. Young people are facing unprecedented challenges and the consequences are clear but so is their resilience and courage. “Navigating Uncertainty” is a beautiful picture of faith reimagined. Young people are not rejecting religion but they are resisting the fear of certainty and embracing uncertainty as opportunity for authenticity and transformation.
