This keynote addresses how we equip children and young people to thrive spiritually and emotionally in a challenging world

IN THIS POWERFUL KEYNOTE FROM the Diocese of Blackburn’s Children’s Ministry Conference 2025, Carolyn Edwards explores how we can equip children and young people to live faithfully in a world filled with complexity, uncertainty, and growing mental health challenges.

Drawing on her experience as a theologian and practitioner, Carolyn unpacks:

  • Why young people are experiencing an emotional and spiritual crisis
  • How to speak honestly about God in the midst of suffering
  • What the Bible really says about hardship and resilience
  • How churches can support children and families with truth, hope, and grace.

This keynote is a must-watch for church leaders, children’s workers, parents, and anyone passionate about discipling the next generation with authenticity.
