Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:48:51 +0000 http://www.therebelution.com/blog/?p=16#comment-538838 I totally beleive this and am working hard to change my entire outlook on life to fit this "do hard things" mentality! I think that most Christian teenagers are just "living life" "just floating along". Brethren, these things ought not so to be! Christ challenges us to "live godly in this present world" - which means we stand up for what we beleive in and live a life that invokes persecution and ridicule from others! People should know we are Christians just by the way we act and the things we say and even the way we dress (Modesty Survey). Our faith must change every aspect our lives and be integrated so deep in every area. It will radically change your entire outlook on life! Jesus wants to be a part of you - a very real part of you. He wants you to be focused on Him at all times. This is a huge concept, but one I am learning and realizing the joy that it brings!

Also, the modesty survey was soooo much of a blessing! to see that there are Godly brothers in Christ out there who notice and appreciate when we dress modestly is such an encouragement!! thanks guys!!! hey guys, i just wanted to say thanks for all you’re doing with this website, “Do Hard Things”, and, soon, “Start Here”. im new to the rebelution, but its already been such a blessing to see that there are other teens around the world who are on fire for God!

I am trying my hardest to "do hard things". I pray that God will continue to use me for His will. I think it is so cool how in the bood Do Hard Things it talks about do "little" hard things. I agree that those are also very importans. I don't know if Alex and Brett read all these, but if you do, I tried sending an e-mail to you and it wouldn't let me. It said the email address was too long. So if you could possibly help me that would be great. Thank you. I think the Rebelution is an amazing thing. I am trying my hardest to “do hard things”.

Icant tell you how great it is for someone to step up to the plate and do something about the scorn teens get from adults. I am trying to apply do hard things to my everyday lifestyle. I am the oldest of six kids in my wonderful christian home,with my two God loving parents. I am 13 (only just a teen),but I am determined to live with Christlike expectations,and hold myself to his standard of perfection for all my teen years and on into my adult years. Thank you so much for inspiring teens everywhere to live up to life! I am reading your book and it is fantastic!
