The “Rebelution” is a movement again low expectations begun by Alex and Brett Harris, the authors of Do Hard Things. On their website, it says, “In 1 Timothy 4:12, the Apostle Paul tells Timothy, ‘Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.’ In other words, as young people we are called to be exemplary in all areas of life. Our generation is falling incredibly short of that calling. Instead of serving as the launching pad of life, the teen years are seen as a vacation from responsibility. We call it the “myth of adolescence.” And the Rebelution is all about busting that myth.” TheRebelution.com is “a safe haven for those who refuse to be defined by our rebellious culture” and “a community of Christian young people from around the world who are mutually committed to doing hard things in their teen years for the glory of God.” The website features a blog, where articles, commentaries, and posts from Alex and Brett can be found, as well as a conference section, which is devoted to the Rebelution Tour. The site also includes discussion forums, “which allow young people who share the vision of the Rebelution to network and interact,” and a resource section that includes a compilation of articles from authors like Randy Alcorn, Joshua Harris, Jerry Bridges and many others, as well as timeless truth from men like J.C. Ryle and Charles Spurgeon. To apply for a free membership, visit TheRebelution.com.
