Over 400 young people submitted more than 900 questions, engaging with topics such as artificial intelligence, whether we can trust the Bible, where God is in a world of injustice, what God says about abortion, and more! That was Reboot City Reading this month.
Both in numbers and questions—shows just how hungry today’s youth are for credible answers.
Q&R panel at Reboot City Reading. The questions were pouring in!
A key takeaway for our team was that this incredible turnout—both in numbers and questions—shows just how hungry today’s youth are for credible answers. And hungry they were. These young people didn’t hold back from asking their most pressing and challenging questions: “Will AI eventually impersonate us, or even control us?” “Is AI part of God’s plan, or could it be used for evil?” “Can Christians support LGBTQ+ or transgender people?” “How can I deal with depression and suicidal thoughts as a Christian?” “Is abortion a sin if the child will have a very low quality of life?”

These aren’t easy questions, but they’re questions that demand credible, biblical, and thoughtful responses.
Reboot City is vital because our youth and their questions are vital. It’s not just an event; it’s a space where youth can bring their doubts and struggles, discovering that questioning is not a sign of weak faith—it’s a pathway to growing a stronger one. With over 400 youth submitting more than 900 questions, it’s clear that this generation is eager to engage deeply, and they need spaces like Reboot to help them navigate these big issues.
