The Village Square God Squad: Lost & Found
A frank conversation about our struggling young adults.
(TALLAHASSEE, FL) – October 8, 2024 – America’s young adults are telling us they’re not OK — in ways large and small. It’s high time to take a good, close listen and have a frank conversation about the spiking anxiety & depression among adults coming of age in this time of disruption and disconnection. We’re losing more young adults than we can bear.
As successive generations move away from organized religion, perhaps there’s a longing for spiritual direction that we have in our souls for relationship, community and ritual. Can religious congregations help to address this problem? If so, how do they connect and make spaces more welcoming for young people in our community’s “third spaces” that help grow community and purpose?
Led by Father Tim Holeda — who pastors to a large community of FSU students — God Squad is on it.
God Squad regulars, who maintain respectful and durable friendships despite their differences of opinion, include: Father Tim Holeda of the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More, Pastor Latricia Scriven of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Pastor Josh Hall of First Baptist Church, Pastor Joseph Davis, Jr. of Truth Gatherers Community Church, Stephanie Posner, Director of Congregational Life & Learning along with Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky both of Temple Israel.
God Squad programs are $10 (free registration option available) and a reservation is required. To get more information about God Squad or to reserve your seat visit: https://tlh.villagesquare.us/event/lost/
About The Village Square: Founded 18 years ago in Tallahassee, The Village Square is building the town hall of the 21st century across societal divisions that are tearing communities apart. The Village Square is led by a politically and racially diverse group of community leaders devoted to building civic trust between people who don’t look or think alike.
