The Rebelution's Do Hard Things Tour is coming to major cities across the United States in Summer of 2010. Each conference is a challenging one-day event for teens by teens who believe that our generation is ready for a change. Ready for something that doesn't promise a whole new life if you'll just buy the right pair of jeans or use the right brand of deodorant.

We believe that our generation is ready to rethink what teens are capable of doing and becoming. And we've noticed that once wrong ideas are debunked and cleared away, our generation is quick to choose a better way, even if it's also more difficult.

The Do Hard Things Tour 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 actually 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 that 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 reward?
We describe that alternative path with three simple words: Do Hard Things.

The Rebelution's Do Hard Things Tour came to five major cities across the United States in Summer of 2009 -- Louisvile, Chicago, Orange County, Birmingham, and Washington D.C. During a year when many Christian events suffered drastic drops in attendance as families were forced to cut back on extraneous expenses, The Rebelution enjoyed nearly 20% growth per event over 2008. We reached over 13,200 teens, parents, and youth workers through only five regional events -- and receive 250 bold professions of faith.
