We must constantly discern our struggles and where they come from. God humbles, the devil humiliates.

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

Photos from Inspiration San Antonio 2010
Earlier this month Life Teen hosted Inspiration San Antonio at Six Flags Fiesta. We were overwhelmed by how many parishes came to the event! Here are some photos from the event provided by Mary Bielski with Life Teen and David D. with Sunday’s Child Snapshots. If you live in SoCal, join us in November at Six Flags Magic Mountain for Inspiration Los Angeles. Thanks to youth minister David Calavitta for giving me a T-shirt that his teens wore last year to Inspiration LA. I wear it with pride!

Surviving High School: Juniors
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!
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!

Surviving High School: Sophomores
Sophomore year is a tricky time. You’re not the youngest anymore – you know your way around the campus and the high school life. You’re also not close to graduating yet, so those college apps aren’t piling up on your desk causing you or your parents added stress. You’re the best part of the high school Oreo – you’re right in the middle. Mmmmm, Oreos…
Sophomore year might best be described as a year of opportunity. This year you have the opportunity to become who you are, who God designed you to be (Jer. 1:4-8). This year offers you all new ways to really make an impact on the school, in other peoples’ lives and in your own faith walk.

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