rebelling against low expectations
J. WRITES: In the past year I’ve really become concerned about what I eat. I believe I have a Christian responsibility in eating as healthfully as possible – not that I never eat sweets. Some Christians disagree, though. And there are so many arguments about what to eat. Vegetarianism? Veganism? Sugar? Fat? My question is not what should I eat, but how can I think about food in a godly manner...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: I just read a book by a pastor’s wife who extolled the importance of Christian hospitality. But when we don’t have our own homes, how can we be hospitable? I can’t just invite people over for dinner without talking to my parents. And what if my parents are more introverted than me? How does hospitality work for teens practically?

JAQUELLE WRITES: I can think back on some brilliant and godly people from history who have influenced me in big ways through their biographies and personal writings. I think of the Puritans, Jonathan Edwards, and Herman Bavinck, to name a few. I also think of my parents and various people from my church who have persistently and practically shaped my life in personal ways. Who are some of the...
R. WRITES: Joy is a big part of being a Christian. I know that. But when I look through God’s Word I also see grief and mourning and lament – over sin, over death, over brokenness, over repentance. How do we manage the tension of joy and lament in the Christian life? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 0 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to discuss...
SARA WRITES: Who knows of humanitarian organizations where you can drop off donations? Preferably in Utah? I want to start a project where I collect backpacks from friends and family members, along with clothes, toys, bottled water, school supplies, hygiene products, etc. to send off to third-world countries. I know that humanitarian work is my calling, my mission in life, and my purpose. I know...
DAN WRITES: I know what I’m doing for The Rebelution movement. God has made that super clear to me. But I have to wonder sometimes, what are other people’s projects? How are they getting help and who is helping them do hard things? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 0 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to discuss?

LEAH WRITES: I have been thrilled by scary stories for as long as I can remember! My cousins and I used to tell them all the time and scare ourselves half to death at sleepovers. Lately, however, I’ve been feeling a lot more scared by them. They’re not fun anymore. This situation has made me wonder whether there’s anything inherently wrong with them. Do you think scary stories...
R. WRITES: This week has been filled with horrible things. People have died, and though most of us didn’t know them personally we are grieving with their loved ones. How can we grieve in these detached situations in a truly godly, loving, compassionate, just way? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

ALATHIA WRITES: I believe that God listens to and answers the prayers of His people in mighty ways. I love hearing other people’s stories about how God has blessed their prayer life. Was there a specific time you remember, whether the answer was yes, no, or wait, that God clearly answered your prayer? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

PHILIP WRITES: There is a friend of mine whom I have been really close with and I did something that hurt her feelings. She told me that she does not want to talk to me again ever and she is serious. I apologized to her about the things I said to her, but she has not responded back except to say she is trying to patiently and sincerely tell me that she does not want to speak to me again. I gave...
