“Do Better Young Life” – The Response Series – #46 through #50

#46 – Aug 4, 2020 This is a story repost from DB with the picture and cardboard testimony of the man I’ve aleady commented on, post #35. I won’t rehash anything but it was funny to see that he now sees his worth “In Christ Alone”, right after he sees his worth in his music.

“Do Better Young Life” – The Response Series – #41 through #45

#41 – July 31, 2020 Except a post or two ago, they started to show the cracks even within their own “community”. Because a community based on oppression points and outrage will never be peaceful or satisfying. It will look like this video of a “Democrat Socialist Convention“. Picture a meeting with a few hundred

“Do Better Young Life” – The Response Series – #36 through #40

#36 – July 28, 2020 This is another weird story. Reading these through, especially in large chunks is very interesting. Like I said yesterday, sometimes it feels like it’s written a little like an “oppression bingo” challenge, with the authors seeing how many buzz words each small post can include. This one is a winner

“Do Better Young Life” – The Response Series #21-#25

21 – July 15, 2020 One of the saddest things for a staff member is (or should be) the notion that kids we were working with missed JESUS because they were enamored with YoungLife as the vehicle designed to introduce them to Him. “I love Young Life with all my heart.“ This person personally identified“Do Better Young Life” – The Response Series #21-#25″

“Do Better Young Life” – The Response Series #1-#5

When I started asking questions on DoBetterYoungLife’s Instagram account, it wasn’t too long before they (a group of people behind the scenes, as the leader of it made it sound) decided to block me. Reasoning: Because I was “baiting them to block me.” Reality: They don’t any answers for the biggest questions that face the

Humility Month 2021

Where’d This Come From? I think unless Jesus had grabbed a hold of my heart from a young age, without the solid Scriptural foundation I received from church and family, and if I wasn’t raised to be critical and thoughtful of culture, I would be at the front of the Pride Parade waving the rainbow

A Response to the YL Policy Clarity Document

This would be more appropriately titled Thoughts on the “Do Better Young Life” version of YL’s policy clarity document” since we have to assume for the sake of argument that this document says what the YL document says, though those of us outside of YL have no way to verify how close to the original

Response to the “YL Letter for Change”

I saw the now openly published “Letter for Change” written by five to six (at the time current) Young Life staff and apparently signed by another 26 staff in a YL region. (Those names not visible on this document.) I think the region in question has upwards of 70ish full and part-time staff. This region

What’s NOT Conversion Therapy?

“Conversion Therapy”. Some more words weaponized to demonstrate how bad a lot of churches and Christians are. Most of us have some sort of vague understanding of how culture uses this phrase. You might get images of a psych ward and electro-shock therapy or some other kinds of torture. Here’s the dilemma: people are using
