Rev. Julie Windsor Mitchell from University Christian Ministry at Northwestern shares a powerful message on tenacious hope, drawing from Psalm 27 and the lived experiences of college students who hold fast to faith even in seasons of doubt, fear, and deep questioning. She reflects on the sacred work of creating refuge for young adults and the courage she witnesses in their daily lives.
This message also includes a heartfelt testimony from Joy Kang, a recent Northwestern graduate, who describes how UCM became a place of openness, authenticity, and spiritual growth — a community where she could ask questions, explore her faith, and be fully herself.
