Home » Journeys: Navigating the winding path of life

‘How many times have you heard the phrase ‘life is a journey’? It is true though, isn’t it? We can look back at the past that brought us to where we are today and we wonder what destination lies ahead, but what do we do during those moments where the journey doesn’t seem so fun or perhaps even painful? Where do we find the hope that life’s journey will turn out ok?’

Hear from a group of young people as they reflect on where they’ve come from, what has helped them along the way, and what gives them hope for the journey of life they are on.
