Goliaths Fall When Students Lead
Monday, September 14th, 2009Goliaths fall when adults like Saul get out of David’s way.
The Biblical character David was an untested teenager, a shepherd boy with no military training, when he simultaneously proved to be the only man among soldiers courageous enough to confront the giant Goliath.
For 40 days, Goliath’s taunts paralyzed Israel’s army with [...]
Students Leading Students – Kickin’ It Old Skool 9/12
Monday, August 24th, 2009If you think that a student led, student leadership conference sounds too good to be true, be amazed on September 12.
The planning retreat with the conference’s student organizers last week was unquestionably the professional highlight of my summer. These teens are legit. (Too legit … too legit to quit.)

America’s Adult Problem
Friday, December 12th, 2008Against the backdrop of ongoing pay-to-play politics, greedy (save us from ourselves with yet another bailout) profiteers, unbridled (how can we celebrate Christmas with fewer toys this year?) consumerism, and rampant congregational segregation (online and otherwise), this grown up candor refreshed me when I read it earlier this week:

Thanksgiving note from a high school student
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I was not raised in a Christian home but luckily to loving parents. Since my birth, my parents have gotten divorced, I have moved four times, my mom has filed for bankruptcy [...]

Exhibit 786: a mother found the articles “Let’s Talk About Sex” and “Things We Don’t Talk About” when Googling, “Teenage Son Sexual [...]
