I Love You Too.

By Amanda Grassi | September 4, 2010

Just a few weekends ago I was blessed to be part of the Work Staff at the LEAD conference in Schönstatt, Germany, put on by MCYM and the Franciscan University of Steubenville. Beyond registration, answering questions, and small acts of service, the Lord had so much in store for me. Hearing the speakers share a part of their hearts was an inspiration and one talk on the Father’s love stood out to me in particular. The speaker shared that this summer the Lord had challenged her to say to Him not, “I love you” but, “I love you too.” Gosh, “I love you [...]

To Save A Life - Catholic Movie Reviews Podcast

By Greg Iwinski | September 3, 2010

TSAL CatholicMovieReviews

"...it's pretty clear about fifteen minutes in that the movie's going to follow the story arc of a Christian drama. Not like 'TNT Knows Drama' drama, but the kind you see onstage at a youth conference. Movies that are 'Christian' a lot of times stay on the safe side - but To Save A Life gets closer to reality than most as it deals with teen suicide, teen pregnancy, and even cutting. It's a little long and a little predictable, but as far as church movies go, it's not half bad."

From The Editor’s Desk: What You See Is What You Get

By Greg Iwinski | September 1, 2010

This is the official announcement of our September 2010 theme for LifeTeen.com content

Whether it’s in the headlines of Hollywood or the chambers of Congress, it seems that scandal’s everywhere these days. Celebrities, politicians, leaders… everyone is ready to prove that what they say and what they do aren’t the same things. But the stars of newspapers and gossip websites aren’t the only ones whose talk doesn’t match their walk. We all know how easy it can be to be ‘Catholic’ on Sundays. Hanging out with our ‘church’ friends and sitting in Mass, we can seem like the perfect Catholic.

Load Your iPod: A Year’s Worth of New Praise and Worship

By Matt Smith | August 31, 2010

Do you miss Steubenville? Get music that brings you back.

This summer Life Teen hosted three massive conferences for high school students: Steubenville East, Steubenville West, and Steubenville Atlanta. I called up each of our worship leaders and asked them what new music they played at each conference. If you are hungry for the same music that inspired you at the conference, you've come to the right place.

Surviving High School: Seniors

By Katie Heller | August 28, 2010

nissanSentra

I distinctly remember my first day of senior year. I pulled into the school parking lot in my red 1994 Nissan Sentra (thanks Dad!) and walked into my homeroom like I had done everyday the three years before. Nothing around me was dramatically different. The people, the classrooms, and the schedule were all relatively familiar. However, there was one thing that was a little different - me. I held my head a little higher and my confidence was stronger. Why? Because I was a senior. Finally!

I anticipated my senior year to be full of memories and growth. It was the year I would take my first steps into adulthood, and the year that I would have to make big decisions about what I wanted to do next. Like many of you, I was excited and overwhelmed all at the same time.

Molokai: The Story of Father Damien - Catholic Movie Reviews Podcast

By Greg Iwinski | August 27, 2010

fatherDamien CatholicMovieReviews

...sometimes we get the idea that saints are these spiritual superstars, but the story of Father Damien shows an ordinary man answering the call to extraordinary holiness. He was a young priest who did what God asked him to do, and the movie gets that across. David Wenham as Damien continually impresses as a man who you can't help but look up to.

Surviving High School: Juniors

By Greg Iwinski | August 27, 2010

St. Denis holding his own head.

Surviving High School, eh? When I think back on junior year, what are the lessons I’d pass on about having a great time... hmm. I’ve been thinking about this for a few weeks, and I think I can sum it up in one sentence.

Bring on the haters.

Win a Free Trip to World Youth Day!

By Life Teen | August 27, 2010

goodnessReigns

Now is an exciting time to be Catholic. Two thousand years ago, right after the events of Pentecost, the Apostles boldly went out and preached the Gospel in new ways. Think about the wide-open world they had to preach to, a world that had literally never heard of Jesus Christ. Sometimes, it can seem like there’s no new ground to cover... but your passion is something new. There are still lands to be witnessed to; there are still people who have never seen a Catholic that loved their faith.

Goodness Reigns: Share the Story is a short film competition about sharing your faith. If you win, you could be on your way to World Youth Day - all expenses paid!
