Change Teen Thinking Through TheRebelution!

www.therebelution.com
My husband’s favorite mantra to our children is “you can do great things.” Here’s an entire website challenging our youth to rise above mediocrity…he’ll be so happy! Alex and Brett Harris are 19-year-old twin brothers who are true role models for teens.

Three years ago, they set out to encourage their peers to “do hard things” for the glory of God and rebel against our culture’s low expectations of adolescents. Their revolution/rebellion, which began as a simple blog, has grown into a movement featuring teen conferences throughout the country and a book just out (Do Hard Things, 2008, Multnomah Books). Moms, spend some time on this site, take a look at blog entries, video clips and the t-shirts (yeah, with good messages) and tell me what you think. How can we encourage our own kids to exceed society’s expectations? Email IM at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
