And while every teenager is a walking bundle of questions, three rise above the rest: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Who am I?\u003cbr\u003e- Where do I fit?\u003cbr\u003e- What difference can I make?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYoung people struggle to find satisfying and life-giving answers to these questions on their own. They need caring adults willing to lean in with empathy, practice listening, and gently point them in the direction of better answers: they are enough because of Jesus, they belong with God's people, and they are invited into God's greater story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, which is based on new landmark research from the Fuller Youth Institute and combines in-depth interviews with data from 1,200 diverse teenagers, Kara Powell and Brad M.
