rebelling against low expectations
Last month we asked all of you to join us in prioritizing the life of the mind through reading. Over the last few weeks over two hundred of you shared your favorite books of 2010 and to-read lists for 2011. If you didn’t, it’s not too late! In this post, we want to share some excerpts of a book we’re reading — Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of Christ by John Piper. In...
Greetings, rebelutionaries! You have probably noticed that new posts have been an endangered species around here in the recent months. Some of that is busyness. Some of that is planning and projects — for next year and the years ahead. But a lot of it is the simple fact that we haven’t had much to write about. Oh, there are still lots of stories of rebelutionaries making a difference. This...
If there is one thing that rebelutionaries are good at it, it’s supporting the efforts of their fellow rebelutionaries. Here’s a chance to do that. Watch this video. Seriously. Georgia-based rebelutionary Andrew Cunningham needs to finish in the Top 5 (in total views) in the 104.7 The Fish Opening Act contest on YouTube. If he wins, $10,000 will go to a student-led missions...
Thank you all for your support of our family after the passing of our mother. We have been overwhelmed by the love, prayers, and stories of lives changed by God’s grace through our mom’s faithfulness. Please, keep them coming! By God’s grace, we are doing well — inexplicably well, apart from hope in Christ. The weekend before last, we held a conference in Atlanta — just 20 days...
Abby Enck is only eight-years-old, but her story provides an excellent blueprint for rebelutionaries on how to make a difference. This shy girl found a cause close to home (supporting her brother who has cerebral palsy) and took one small step to meet that need (raising $4.50 selling lemonade to buy crayons). Once she had developed a successful model, she multiplied it (buying crayons for other...
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” — John 11:24-26 Photo by Andie Jael. At 8:00pm (PDT) this evening our mother, Sono Sato Harris, went to be with her Savior. She went peacefully and painlessly. We all grieve, but we have hope. We rejoice with her...
Abby Sunderland and her family have come under a lot of criticism in recent weeks — most of it by people who have not met them and never will. We know them personally. They have our full support, prayers, and shared joy as they welcome Abby home and welcome their newest brother — Paul — to the family. Today Abby and her older brother Zac held a press conference to tell her story and answer...
We stumbled across Kickstarter today after hearing from a mom and daughter team who are raising money for a book project about Donaldina Cameron, a Presbyterian missionary and abolitionist. We were impressed not only with their project, but also the service they were using to solicit pledges — and we figured you would be too. We receive many questions about how to raise money for projects (which...
A special video message of thanks and encouragement to young people in the Philippines — after being forced to cancel the Cebu and Manila conferences in light of our mother’s cancer. We love you, guys!
This past fall we partnered with LifeChurch.tv to create a four-part series of short videos presenting the Rebelution message for small groups, youth groups, and churches. We are thrilled with the result. LifeChurch.tv did a terrific job. The series includes videos on topics such as “The Myth of Adolescence,” “Unlikely Heroes,” “The Launching Pad,” and...
