Part I: “Long Live Good & Holy Trouble” - introduces the concepts of holy troublemaking through the stories of 11 holy troublemakers and unconventional saints.
Part II: “We Are Made of Stories & Stardust” focuses on the importance of the stories we tell (individually and collectively) utilizing the stories told by 11 holy troublemakers and unconventional saints to identify stories with which young people resonate.
