Young writers from various backgrounds submitted essays to a recent contest. Their work explored topics such as faith and technology, as well as personal struggles and church experiences. A total of 208 essays were received, with contributors ranging in age from 16 to 25.

Most of the writers were female, with the remaining third being male. These young people are involved in their church communities. Further information about the contest and its participants can be found through The Gospel Coalition, which organized the event and reviewed the essays.
