rebelling against low expectations
KIM WRITES: I’m keen to cultivate leadership skills and gain leadership experience not only because showing leadership is important for my high school transcript, but also because I’m trying to mature in character and further live out 2 Timothy 4:12. My problem is that finding an opportunity for leadership is already a hard thing! My family and I are still searching for a church to settle in, so...
HANA WRITES: I find that in North America we don’t see miracles. Or rather, we think we don’t see them. I struggled for a long time wondering if it was possible to see some amazing miracle. I thought maybe my faith wasn’t strong enough. Now I believe that God does miracles everyday and I have seen some pretty amazing things. But what about you? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment...
MELINDA WRITES: I struggle so much with how people view me. It’s a fear of mine that when people see me, they see a tall, girl with acne problems and a mouth full of metal. I’m so afraid that people won’t like me that often I don’t even make the effort to try to become their friend. Plus, I semi-recently moved 3,000 miles and it’s hard to find a balance between...
KIERI WRITES: Drama is a huge part of my youth group. Things like people switching personalities depending on who they’re talking to, others feeling left out of conversations, even though they aren’t even trying to participate (causing drama for the sake of drama), girls liking the same boy another girl likes (I despise that one), or a girl thinking a boy likes a different girl...
SUBMITTED BY SAM: This question was inspired by the life and death of Clayton McDonald. How do we live every moment to the fullest? How do we love others the way Clayton did? How do we enjoy life and preach the gospel and serve as if this is our last day on earth? And how do we do that practically (and sustainably) given that many of us will enjoy longer lives than Clayton did? Share Your...
RACHEL T. WRITES: What should we do if our peers aren’t keen on talking more about Jesus and life because they think it’s something deep? And how should we respond if they claim to have no opinions about it? When is the best time to start thinking about and discussing these topics? If we’re not ready to talk about “deep” subjects now, when will we be ready and how...
Sometimes you agree to help someone and they begin to take advantage of it by having you continue on longer than you were supposed to, or for less pay than they originally stated would be given, or they seem to always be pressing for you to give more of yourself than originally agreed upon. How can we still reflect Christ while backing away from helping when the time/money/energy involved is...

There are at least two good directions to go with this question (submitted by Liam, by the way). The first is to explore ways to make an impact that don’t require money. The second is to share ideas for raising funds (even if you aren’t wealthy yourself). Have at it! Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

DAVID WRITES: Following God’s will can be rather intimidating sometimes when other people claim that you’re delusional or just making something up. I’m always worried that I’ll end up doing something that I thought God was telling me to do only to find out that He didn’t tell me that at all. How can you be completely certain that God is telling you to do something...
