Introduction

i was 15 years old when i remember wanting to give something up to know god more. I was at our annual youth camp, and our youth pastor talked about how there are things in our lives that can keep us from ing more of god. That night shaped howwe, a group of awkward tenagers in detona beach, florida, would come to know and experience the true life and power of jesus over the next three years. And it wasn't just for me; it was for about another hundred other students as well. In that moment, we said yes to whatever was next to whatever more looked like.
