Do Hard Things: Join the Rebelution
Do you run from the hard things in life? The Rebelution movement started by brothers Brett and Alex Harris challenges you to overcome the stereotypes society has of teens by living in a way that "rebels" against the standard. Their anthem “Do Hard Things” dares teens not to waste their teen years doing things that won’t matter in the long run, but to be bold in their faith and activities.
While they themselves were teens the brothers wrote a book, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations that lays out ways young people can utilize their teen years purposefully. Here’s a description of the book from their website:
With over 16 million hits to their website TheRebelution.com, Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge in a growing movement of Christian young people who are rebelling against the low expectations of their culture by choosing to "do hard things" for the glory of God.
Written when they were 18 years old, Do Hard Things is the Harris twins’ revolutionary message in its purest and most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential.
Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, the authors weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life and map a clear trajectory for long-term fulfillment and eternal impact.
Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of revolution already in progress challenges the next generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today.
The twins (who are also the younger brothers to Josh Harris, pastor and best-selling author of “I Kissed Dating Goodbye”) are now in college and are spreading the Rebelution through conferences, online conversations and ministry partnerships. They truly have a passion for living for Christ, and want to encourage other young people to live their lives for His glory.
