Rachel Gardner sits down with Dr. Lucie Moore as they begin to unpack Translating God, a research project undertaken by the Youthscape Centre for Research. Published in three parts and representing more than two years of work with input from a diverse group of more than a thousand young people, Translating God explores how young people understand and respond to the Christian story.
