This week we gave our students the chance to voice thier doubts. Each person was handed a note card and asked to write down thier greatest doubt concerning thier faith and the list below is a compilation of all of those thoughts. Our hope is to start an on-line conversation here on Going Public. Please read through the list and respond in any way you see fit. Then respond to the responses of others, thus creating a conversation.

I feel the warm tears run down my cheeks as I lift my hands in confidence to try to touch him. I lift my hands so that I can have that feeling of his love rushing into my palms. I cry because he’s so real he’s so amazing he’s so there. I cry because my friends well my family feels it to. They feel him. I know Even though he’s not in person, not flesh he’s still standing by me, standing by me and wrapping his arms around me. Telling me he loves me unconditionally. So I feel the warm tears run down my face and know there not just tears they have meaning that you are so real it’s scary. I stand with both my arms raised as high as they can go so I can feel his unconditional love rush to my palms. And to know that me lifting my hands makes me closer to God and to be able to feel his love and to get that feeling of unconditional love. It’s the most intense and scariest thing but so incredibly amazing.

I know I already wrote something, but if you know the Lord, you understand that he changes you in ways you can’t even imagine. That’s what has happened to me.
First, I want to apologize to all of ya’ll and say that..basically this entire time for me in this youth group has basically been a lie, as far as my relationship with Christ. I thought I had him in my life..but I was still seeking him desperately. Read the rest of this entry »
Hey Guys! My name is Katelyn Mattingly… some of you might know me… but then again you probably don’t! Anyway… I grew up going to church, believing God and saying the usual “Grace” at dinner. But I don’t think I really knew God. I lived my life as a regular teenage girl, obsessing over guys, shopping and gossiping about the popular kids. Until a few weekends ago at wild weekend Read the rest of this entry »
Heyy everybody! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Heather Warfield. I already posted a little thingy on here, but oh well. 
My last one was ALL about Edge Camp and how I saw God change people. Talk about the obvious. Well this time it’s all about Life After Edge. Well I kind of got inspired to write this by Clayton Lowell. (Love you Clayton! Thanks!) He’s one of my friends I met at Edge and we’ve been pretty tight ever since. Well since Edge I have really been getting into Bible studies. Read the rest of this entry »
Have you ever felt that for once in your life, everything was going perfectly? You have the most amazing girlfriend, you’re on the football team…everything is going perfectly. And just as you thought nothing could go wrong, it all gets thrown out the window. Read the rest of this entry »
I was sitting in my dorm room (ick) looking at the RebelBase wordpress for the first time, and somehow I was shocked by how much I was affected by these posts. That just goes to show that we never truly learn, because you would think that after the most amazing summer of my life, spent meeting and building relationships with people that amazed me with their perception and conversation everyday, that I would learn what the students of RebelBase are capable of. But no. I’m an idiot, and forgot. Anywho, after that pointless prologue, let me jump into what I’ve been thinking and feeling lately. Read the rest of this entry »
