This past weekend we had an invigorating winter retreat in Griffith Park. This was our first ever primarily teen planned retreat and it was a huge success! Throughout the week we were inspired to start a revolution for God in our daily lives as we heard uplifting lessons encouraging us to "burn" any sins hindering us from going against the grain. Although the world we live in is under Satan's rule, similarly to the Americans in the American Revolution, we the underdogs can unite and stand up for what we believe in to free ourselves from Satan's rule and the sin that entangles us. The physical burning of our sin lists represented the freedom from our sins that comes with being a member of God's revolution--God's
Teen Revolution. As we spent our weekend competing in our own revolutionary war against one another in teams and learning about how God can change our lives, the rebellious side in all of us was ignited to be defiant against the satanic world we live in.

Day 1:
We arrived Friday night and had a great night of teen-led festivities along with a splendid traditional Lip-Sync competition. {I attempted to upload the videos on the blog last night, but unfortunately, twelve hours later and the first video was still loading...so I gave up}
