Andrew Urquhart explores what hope really means for Aotearoa, starting with a sobering look at youth mental health. Leadership coach John Peachey asks whether we're normalising bad mental health, public theologian Dr Craig Heilmann unpacks the difference between Christian hope and empty optimism, and Otago University's Professor Dr Graham Redding reflects on mission, the call to live out God's mission wherever we are.

Please note, this episode discusses youth mental health and distress and may be upsetting for some viewers.
