rebelling against low expectations
OLIVIA WRITES: In the new year, I think it would be cool if I could contribute to some kind of charity. I can knit, sew a little, and do most kinds of crafty stuff. I can also play music, but I’m not sure how that could help anybody. If you have any ideas about organizations that I could help out with, I’d love to know!

FAITH WRITES: I’m only 14, and my church isn’t that big, (it’s kind of medium sized), but I really want to have an impact. I’ve tried talking to my Youth Pastor, my Pastor, and various other people who hold leadership positions in my church about outreach ideas and more, but the more I talk to them, the more I realize how complacent they have become. I want God to use me...
COURTNEY WRITES: My church has been talking a lot about joy lately. All over the Bible we’re told to be happy in God (Matthew 5:12, 2 Corinthians 13:11, Philippians 4:4, Psalms 5, 32, 33, 66, 68, 81, 100, etc.). So here’s the thing – how do you do it? How do you rejoice when you’re suffering, or when you just don’t feel glad? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment...
ASHLEY WRITES: How do you love someone if you don’t like that person? I have some people in my life that I don’t like at all, but I know the Bible says to “love your enemies”. How do you do it? I tried so many times to love these people, but it is hard. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to...
ALLIE WRITES: Music is such an important, meaningful gift from God, and I’m finding that many other rebelutionaries find music important too. As we near ringing in the New Year, I have found myself thinking about the events of my past year a lot. One thing I enjoy doing is picking out song that describes my calendar year. Do you have a specific song to remember your 2015 by? Share Your...
BROOKLYN WRITES: I have a friend who never talks to me anymore unless she needs something. Whenever I reach out to her, she ignores me and only contacts me when she needs to borrow clothes or a movie. She’s in a tough spot in her life right now, and I want to help her and show Christ’s love, but I feel that she’s taking advantage of my kindness. My mom even told me to be careful...
COURTNEY WRITES: What do you guys do to get ready to hear the Word of God on Sunday? How does your church encourage, strengthen, and hold each other accountable week to week? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, so I’d love to know what y’all do to prepare for church. Thanks! Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

ROSE WRITES: How important is it to receive gifts well? And how do you do that? We often hear that giving is a blessing. That also means it should be a joy to receive someone’s gift. But how do we practically do that? And (bonus question!) besides salvation, what’s the greatest gift you’ve ever received? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7...
GRACE WRITES: How do you celebrate Christmas? Do you celebrate early? Late? Several times with various family members? What are some of your favorite traditions? Do you read the Christmas story? When? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to discuss? Just submit your question or topic (and any elaboration you’d like...
ROSE WRITES: It seems like everyone’s talking about Star Wars this weekend. The new movie has exploded in theaters and the four-star reviews have started pouring in. Yet I’ve read some Christians who think that getting excited about Star Wars is not the right approach. There are obviously some underlying pagan themes (even George Lucas said that), but are there enough redemptive...
