Video Series: Fabulous Life of a Teenager
This past fall we partnered with LifeChurch.tv to create a four-part series of short videos presenting the Rebelution message for small groups, youth groups, and churches. We are thrilled with the result. LifeChurch.tv did a terrific job.
The series includes videos on topics such as “The Myth of Adolescence,” “Unlikely Heroes,” “The Launching Pad,” and “Do Hard Things.” Each video is about 5-7 minutes long — perfect for introducing people to the ideas of the Rebelution.
The curriculum also features suggested opening and closing remarks for group leaders, along with small group discussion guides for each segment. The best part, though? The series is 100 percent FREE for anyone to download and use.
To download the high-quality video files (MOV or WMV) and PDF documents, visit the LifeChurch.tv Series Page.
To watch them right now, click through for the YouTube versions.

Wow, thank you! I certainly look forward to using these videos as a tool to spread the message of the Rebelution. God Bless!

Would I be able to download these onto my ipod?
April 20th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
AWESOME!! I am going to watch them right now!!
April 20th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
REALLY REALLY AWESOME!!! I just watched them and now I am trying to figure out how to use them in my church.
Great job!
April 20th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Excellent guys!
I have the same question as Alesia: Can I download them to my iPod?
April 20th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Lindsey: I would recommend downloading them from YouTube with Free FLV Converter (http://download.cnet.com/Free-FLV-Converter/3000-2194_4-10832044.html?tag=mncol). It is a free, safe, no strings attached program; and it has the ability to convert directly to iPod and iPhone formats.

Great job! thanks for making the vids guys!! ;D
April 21st, 2010 at 6:43 am
I wish I could watch these but my computer can’t handle videos!
April 21st, 2010 at 6:46 am
I will send them to my friend!
April 21st, 2010 at 8:10 am
Awesome! My dad will be leading a youth group and I will be serving as an assistant. I’ll definately ask him about including this with the classes! Thanks for making it available to us!
God bless!

Question: How do you strike a balance between being responsible and over-working yourself?
April 21st, 2010 at 1:24 pm
I am very excited about this series coming out. I will watch them at first opportunity and share each one over my network. I have already broadcast this post.
April 21st, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Awesome! I taught through your book a couple of years ago with my youth group, and was thinking about doing it again. This will make it so much better! Thanks!
April 21st, 2010 at 1:37 pm
This is great for those that haven’t had the opportunity to see a conference or read the book! It’s short enough to keep interest and yet still communicates the message effectively. Good work!
April 21st, 2010 at 2:22 pm
I will have to find a way to watch these! The sound on our computer is not working right now so I must be creative.
April 21st, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Awesome! I think I will burn these on DVDR and use them in the Do Hard things study at my church!
April 21st, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Awesome videos!
April 21st, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Thanks! These really encompass the message of your book in a simple, compact, yet enjoyable format… can’t wait to share these with others.
April 21st, 2010 at 3:53 pm
These videos are great! Good job, guys! God bless!
April 21st, 2010 at 5:26 pm
I can’t wait to watch them later today!
Sharon: They answer that question in their new book, Start Here. You should see if your library has a copy, or, better yet, buy one!
April 21st, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Thanks guys! This will be a great tool to use when talking to my friends about ‘Do Hard Things’ & ‘Start Here.’
April 21st, 2010 at 7:52 pm
this is really cool! such a great idea to make these videos. i hope i can get my youth pastor to check this out. =)
April 21st, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Wow these are really cool! I especially like the diving board story. I haven’t heard that one before, but it describes the problem perfectly. I graduated from high school last year, but I will see if our youth pastor would like to use these.
April 21st, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Thank you so much for making these videos! My favorite quote was the last one Brett made about being a generation of Christian young people that find it (Doing Hard Things) difficult yet still try. This is my prayer! I was brought to tears when you told Zach’s testimony! I also assumed he was a type A personality. My eyes are truly opened. I know God can do great things through me
Thank you again.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 am
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!
I am a youth leader now, and I am SO glad you guys have done this…. I know what Liz means, the way you talked about Zac was incredible….. this is an awesome resource! Mum is asking me to settle down a little bit!
Blessings,
Melinda
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:03 am
Wow!! The topics that you guys spoke on were really good!! They are some of my favorite parts to Do Hard Things!! Keep it up guys!!

Very nicely done! I enjoyed those.
And it is amazing how much you two don’t look like each other.
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:51 am
I’ll have to check these out sometime.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Awesome! Thanks!
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:53 pm
those were really good. I’m gonna talk to my youth pastor (who happens to be my dad) about watching them in our youth group. this’ll be a great way to show other people about DHT.
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Awesomeness!!! I will definitely check those out!!
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:48 pm
This is great! Thanks for the encouragement, Alex and Brett!
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:59 pm
i love this series, my mom runs a home school education non-profit and expects a lot from me. my sister dreads turning thirteen because i think she expects to grow horns and start foaming at the mouth.I’m taking game design next year, which is my first year of high school. i want to get good grades, finish with a high GPA, go to a good college and make a difference. and who would listen to me? so im trying to lose weight, get to a good place in my faith, and Grow up. i hate teen nick because of show like Degrassi that treat teenagers like wild animals with no control over themselves. I’m going to make games that people can actually play without overstepping their moral boundaries. the best games, books, and movies are unacceptable for me to enjoy because they are filled with immorality. i want to write books, i have always had a bit of a knack for it and I’m taking a creative writing class in my freshman year. i want to shatter the myth of adolescence you guys talk about, a piece of twine won’t hod me down. i want to rise up for Christ and meet HIS expectations, Christ was teaching spiritual leaders in his teens! Josiah was king at age 8! and most of our generation are sitting on the couch goofing off while babies are expected to leap hurdles that we hardly glance at.
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Great videos! Thanks!
April 24th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Loved the videos, guys! It is always so encouraging and inspiring to hear the message of the Rebelution; I could never get tired of it! Thanks for posting!

Brett… have you been working out with Chuck Norris?
April 25th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Hey guys, I think there might be a bug in your system. Every comment is coming up as written by KaraLynn Thompson. Or is that just on my computer?
Sarah
April 25th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Sarah: That is super odd.
I have no idea why it did that.
April 25th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
It’s either a wierd WordPress error, or possibly a bug on your site. All comments after those seem to be alright. Wow, that’s wired.
April 25th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
All of the names were correct yesterday, but then today they changed to KaraLynn Thompson. Weird…
Well I hope it’s not a big problem and you guys don’t have too difficult of a time figuring it out!
Sarah
April 25th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Very handy!
April 25th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
mine’s doing that too :). thanks for the videos - they were very uplifting!!!
April 25th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
What is going on with every one having the same name, KaraLynn Thompson :)? I Haven’t been able to see the videos yet. I have to watch them at the college, you know. ~Katie~
P. S. (I want to download these onto my iPod when I learn how to do it. Question: When is the Rebelution Podcast coming out?) God Bless!
April 26th, 2010 at 12:38 am
Thats is really weird with all the KaraLynn comments!

hey this is matthew boyd from indana winchester from driver middel school and i stated to read your book and i noticed that it is a cristion book. and not many books are encoriging. and i agree that teens do not get this kind of support and many adults dont think we are sufisticated.
April 26th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Hey!
Awesome work, guys! This is a great tool as far as spreading the DHT message! All four are super encouraging
It will be great to see how God uses these to spread His truth even more! I can’t say how inspiring it is to see how you two have allowed God to work through you to make a difference for His glory. Thanks for letting His light shine through you like a Bright, Shining (Salty) City on a hill!
You’re in my prayers
In Christ,

Wow, this looks amazing. I have to say, anybody dedicated to spreading the news of the teenage word is awesome.

Thank you for this amazing resource!
April 26th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
These videos are amazing! This whole idea of rebelling against low expectations and doing hard things for God has been so inspiring for me. I would even go so far as to say that it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities to me.
I am definitely going to have my youth pastor check out your site and encourage him to do a sermon series about doing hard things for God. I think it is an idea that every teenager should be exposed to, and I would love for my whole youth group to be able to have the changed mindset that I do!
Thanks so much for all the time you guys put into things like this! It is greatly appreciated!

Soli Deo Gloria!

April 29th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Mr. Alex and Mr. Brett Harris,
I asked this question a while back,
I recently was writing a speech for a Youth Speakers contest at our regional tournament that is associated with our Southern Baptist church. I had always had a ‘weird’ feeling about giving a speech in a church. So finally, I asked my Father, and He said that He had never felt comfortable about me giving a speech. I then asked Him the question that had been on my mind, what is the difference in a speech, and a sermon? I’m aware of, and totally agree with the scriptural doctrine of women not teaching in the church. I would have been giving a speech, on a theological topic, to a mixed audience. I believe that would be wrong. So now, I trying to find an answer to the question, what’s the difference between a sermon and a speech? Women shouldn’t be teaching men, only the older women teaching the younger women. (Titus 2). Another thing my Father and I found wrong, is that they make no distinctions between the boys and girls and their speeches. They’re judged as equals, no matter the topic. So if a girl wins,… are you saying that the girl’s ‘teaching’ abilities are superior to the guy’s?
I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this.
Blessings,
Kathrann
P.S.
I love your ministry, and I pray God may continue to bless!
May 1st, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Hey Guys! I am new to the rebelution a friend (now in college) recommended your book and I must say I now view my life completely differently, I’ve been praying for a way to get my youth group into the Rebelution and here it is! God Bless J.K.M.
May 3rd, 2010 at 8:31 am
Awesome! They were uplifting videos for sure. They took a little longer to load than most videos, but they were definitely worth the wait.
I’ll tell my friends about these and send them the link. Some of my pals haven’t yet heard about the Rebelution- and this will be a great opportunity to show them what it’s about. They’ll be sure to become Rebelutionaries!

May 29th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
does anyone else on this site understand the massive media control and propaganda ‘REBELution’ is undertaking? It never ceases to amaze me how Christians will repackage their beliefs in order to sell them to a wider audience. But of course, this post will probably be deleted due to its contradictory nature. Most Christians are never willing to discuss outside viewpoints….bummer
June 7th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
what are your viewpoints ice nine?

It’s nice to see young like minded people!! Keep up with your great work and good job GIVING IT FORWARD…

November 10th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Thanks Alex and Brett!!
I will definitely watch these and look into using them to reach teens!!

November 15th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
I am sooo inspired by you, Alex and Brent!
Thanks for standing up, I have been wanting to have something like this.
I am sooo glad you stood up and did this, I am also glad we as youth can see God’s work and use his name, appropriately, freely.
Thanks, I am glad to be part of the rebellution.

Hey Brett. I just wanted to tell you what a blessing you were to Taryan at the ballet last week. There is a story about her I would love to share with you about her. Her parents are in the middle of a divorce and in may her mother left with her and her 2 brothers and moved in with another man and in July he murdered a 16 year old boy in Florida and Taryan has been in foster care since the. We just got them back in November and are very blessed to have them back with us. It is truly a miracle of God himself who brought them back to us. Thank you for your help with her at The Snow Queen because you made her a very happy little girl. You are a wonderful minister for all, young AND old.
We love and appreciate you so much and wish you the best in your upcoming marriage with a beautiful woman. You are a great match.
With much love and humbleness, please have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year.
Love,
Suzanne and Taryan:)
