rebelling against low expectations
GABRIELLE WRITES: The only things I have been doing recently are school, finding ways to keep God a priority, growing in Him, singing in the choir, and having fun with friends. I’m in a youth ministry, God is working out my pride, and I’m seeking to know God’s will for my life. Yes, those are important, but I don’t feel like I’m really doing anything. People are...
(CTV News) – A pair of B.C. teens is hoping to change the way we eat by creating cutlery capable of scanning each bite for bacteria, allergens and nutritional content. Designed by 16-year-olds Madeleine Liu and Angela Wang, Culitech cutlery uses technology called “near-infrared spectroscopy” to analyze food’s molecular breakdown. The compact cutlery comes in fork, spoon or...
JEFF WRITES: In recent years, I’ve been thinking a lot about the culture and how the media portrays Christians. In most cases I’ve seen, Christians are portrayed as either hypocrites or “insane Jesus freaks”. I love media and want to enter into that industry as a career, but I have no idea how to change the way Christians are put in a bad light. I want to bring back into...
JESSE WRITES: We talk a lot about what it means for teenagers to rebel against low expectations, but what about adults? We’re bombarded with images of what the world says being an adult is and what should concern them, but what does God say?

Being a teenager doesn’t have to come with negative connotations. As teenagers, we should seek to rise above...

It begins with eating one bag of chips or watching one movie instead of reading until we’re sliding back into old bad habits. How do you re-inspire yourself to follow your resolutions?

2015 was definitely a year of growing for me, so I have decided to share some of the lessons I learned. 1. Trust carefully. This year I have acknowledged the fact that I trust people way too easily. The reality is that people will disappoint you. It’s harsh, but it’s true and unfortunately it’s taken a few of these experiences for me to realize this. When you trust someone, you...
OLIVIA WRITES: What’s the difference between standing up for what’s right and arguing or pointlessly debating? This is something that I have struggled with a lot, and I don’t want to have the reputation of someone who always wants to start an argument. But at the same time, I don’t like it when people swear or curse or say that anyone who doesn’t agree with them is...

RACHEL WRITES: I tend to take myself and every event in my life, as well as others and every event in their lives, with way too much seriousness. This can affect my friendships in a negative way.
