SEEN was written for parents, youth pastors, small group leaders, mentors, and anyone who works with kids or teens. Authors Will Hutcherson and Chinwe Williams wrote it with the intention of providing practical tools to help kids and teens who are experiencing despair and anxiety.

Will Hutcherson has been a Next Gen and Student Pastor for over 15 years. Over the past several years he has become increasingly passionate about finding practical ways to bring hope to kids and teens who are facing increasing amounts of anxiety, depression, and despair. This led to him starting Curate Hope, a non-profit that focuses on suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and partnering with schools, churches, and parents to help heal despair in teens. Will seeks to build a bridge between the local church and the schools and families that are navigating this mental health crisis. He lives in Florida with his wife and their three kids.

The digital age is in the business of commodifying our attention. The technologies of our day are determined to keep us scrolling and swiping at all costs, plugged into a feedback loop of impatience, comparison, outrage, and contempt. Blind to the dangers, we enjoy its temporary pleasures, unaware of the damage to our souls. Analog Church explores the ways the digital age and its values affect the life of the church. In Analog Christian, he asks the same question of Christian discipleship. Jay serves as the lead pastor of WestGate Church in the Silicon Valley of California. He is on the leadership team of the ReGeneration Project and along with Analog Church and Analog Christian, Jay has contributed to Christianity Today, the Gospel Coalition, Missio Alliance, and Relevant Magazine.
