Using Music to Talk about Big Issues with Youth

Today's episode is with musician and youth worker, Gina Atkins. Gina works for The Message Trust, a creative Christian charity that uses the arts to discuss topics relevant with youth, such as identity, discrimination and wellbeing. She travels the country performing in schools, youth groups and churches as well as large-scale events with her band, OTC. In this episode, we talk about her journey studying music, finding her faith and the joys of working with music in community.
