rebelling against low expectations
Editor’s Note: This week we are running a 3-part series on sexual addiction and healing. We recognize this is an extremely sensitive subject, so even though Haley is not graphic or inappropriate, I would encourage any younger teens to check with their parents before reading this – or skip this series for now. We do hope Haley’s words bring hope and encouragement to the many...

Today, I failed. I had a job to do, and I completely forgot about it and let someone down. Last week, I failed. I had goals to meet, and I missed them. Last semester, I failed. I completely flunked all of my class finals, and I am unlikely to get college credit because of it. There is a big event that I am planning coming up this weekend, and I am afraid of failing. But that’s just it, isn’t it...
I have a job. Why? Well, there’s this thing called Adulthood that apparently costs money. (Hint: college, car, insurance, house, marriage, children, etc.) The thing is, when I first applied for a job, I thought it was just an earn-money-move-on kind of gig. Turns out I was wrong. You see, God puts us in places for a very specific purpose. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on...
Am I my father? Satan has told me that I am trapped by my father’s sin. That I will never lose weight because he never has. That I will never read my Bible consistently because he never has. That I will never be able to create margin in my life because he never has. That I will never overcome addiction because he never has.

Most of these areas will sound familiar to you. I don’t claim to be unique in my apathy. Procrastinating. Overeating. Pornography. YouTube videos. TV shows. Books. My thought life. Recognize any of these? Well, for the...
After reading so many great entries for the Do Hard Things Story Contest, we’ve decided to highlight a story on TheRebelution every week for the rest of the year. Each story emphasizes how Do Hard Things has impacted these rebelutionaries. Today, meet Haley! After reading Do Hard Things for the first time at age 15, I wanted to do something. I prayed and thought hard about something that would...
