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: “If you want to know what [...]
Thanksgiving note from a high school student
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My name is William Poon. I’m a senior from Stuyvesant High School and co-president of Stuyvesant’s chapter of Seekers Christian Fellowship.

Targeted Advertising
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Perhaps Myspace saw this, or just received lots of disgruntled emails from Christians subscribers.

Growing Up Online
Friday, March 14th, 2008John Liotti and Chris Brooks scooped me on this, but PBS Frontline continued it’s must-view documentary look at youth culture and media in a new series called “Growing up Online.” It basically picks up where “Merchants of Cool” left off five or so years ago. It’s must-see TV for anyone interested in youth ministry and/or [...]
Mook/Midriff behavior leads to this: 1 in 4 Teen Girls have STDs
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Alarming, or is it in light of this? A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls — nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 [...]
