New Teen Three-Part Series Resource- Shine Films: HOPE

Scripture Union Scotland is excited to share its new partnership resource, Shine Films: HOPE. Shine Films creates short, cinematic films with highly creative, gospel-centred, engaging content aimed at secondary school-aged young people to spark conversations about faith.  

This just-released series, Hope, was filmed in Scotland and focuses on the fundamental need for hope in a broken world, ultimately pointing to Jesus as the only true and lasting hope. In a generation often labelled ‘anxious’, surrounded by headlines of conflict, climate fear, and uncertainty about the future, Shine Films: Hope series speaks directly into the questions young people are already asking. Each six-to-eight-minute episode features young people from across the UK and Ireland, with a blend of studio interviews, personal testimonies, and narrative teaching.

Jenny Hamill, Creative Director for Scripture Union Scotland, said:

“We know that young people are grappling with questions about identity and purpose. This series gives them permission to wrestle with those questions, whilst clearly presenting Jesus as the one who brings real, lasting hope.”

This series is perfect for SU Groups or youth groups, providing a practical way to introduce and explore these important themes and questions. Leaders can access a free, mobile-friendly and printable guide designed to help young people respond through Bible engagement. The guide includes suggested icebreakers, along with three different discussion guide options to suit the needs of a wide range of groups.
