The Rebelution is a blog written by 19 year old average twin brothers who have a vision for this generation. Here is their idea, as said in their book, Do Hard Things:
"Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you do understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you do care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. WE DO.
....This book invites you to explore some radical questions:
~ Is it possible that even though teens today have more freedom than any other generation in history, we're missing out on some of the best years of our lives?
~ Is it possible that what our culture says about the purpose and potential of the teen years is a lie and we are its victims?
~ Is it possible that our teen years give us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for huge accomplishments--as individuals and as a generation?
~ And finally, what would our lives look like if we set out on a different path entirely--a path that required more effort but promised a lot more rewarding?
What we are challenging you to do is grab hold of a more exciting option for your teen years thatn the one portrayed as normal in society today. This option has somehow gotten lost in our culture, and most people don't even know it. In the pages ahead, you will meet young people just like you who have rediscovered the this better way--a way to reach higher, dream bigger, grow stronger, love an honor God, live with more joy--and quit wasting their lives.
The word rebelution is probably new to you. To be honest, we made it up. We combined rebellion and revolution to form an entirely new word for an entirely new concept: rebelling against rebellion. More precisely, we define rebelution as "a teenage rebellion against low expectations."
OK, this is me again. I totally agree with these guys. I am very tired of the "typical teenager" mold we are supposed to fit in. Jesus did not say "Now go out into the world and be like everybody else", He basically said, "Break the mold!" That is what I want to do.....I am reading their book now and trying to learn how exactly to do this. For more information, go to www.therebelution.com
