In this episode Benjamin Sorre (current youth work student at Tabor) tells us about his “Choose Your Own Adventure" Book that explores questions of choice and violence. He talks about how he wanted to not simply think about the issues academically, but create something that gave people an experience. He also points us toward some of the ideas that shaped his story including the Sociological Imagination, White Knuckle Care Work and the effects of youth as a social structure.

In this episode, I forget to introduce myself (great start) and then Dr Phil Daughtry tells us a little about how Australian Youth Spirituality might best be as revealed in the quiet and persistent production of hope.
