LIFE & FAITH YOUTH COMPETITION

Do you have a great idea you want to share, or a hot topic you want to dive into? Have you always wanted to make your own podcast? 

If you answered yes to those questions, we’ve got good news for you: we’re running a competition for youth to give you a chance to tell YOUR story on CPX’s Life & Faith podcast.

Life & Faith is a weekly conversation about the beauty and complexity of belief in the 21st century. Through a huge variety of topics and stories, the podcast aims to reveal the surprising ways the Christian faith interrogates and illuminates the world we live in.

Last year we ran this competition for the first time, and our winner was Shaddy Hanna, a medical student from the University of New South Wales. Listen to Shaddy's fascinating episode about the place of spiritual care in modern medicine here.
