If you have kids or teach kids, you know the difficult challenges they face in today’s culture. They don’t live in the “Leave it to Beaver” culture of yesteryear. Rather, they are faced with challenges of social media, AI, broken families, rampant drug culture, alternate views pounded at them in school and so many other things.

Recently, I watched a discussion between Pastor Jack Hibbs and a social media influencer and Christian hip-hop artist I had never heard of before. His name is Ruslan and, boy, is he dynamic! This young man knows the challenges of life and has an incredible testimony of how God met him in the darkest places and brought him to salvation. It is a 90-minute conversation, but we all need a shot of encouragement, don’t we! I highly recommend sitting down this weekend to listen, or plug it in as you drive, as you shower, or as you clean house because it is an encouraging message of hope in Jesus Christ for all of us, regardless of age! Enjoy!
