Ben is extraordinary in many ways... Blessed by the gods of puberty Ben is the antithesis of middle school awkwardness. He is unusually confident and in control, light years ahead of his class developmentally. His confidence has been reinforced by his recent interactions with girls. He is bright, gifted, articulate, funny, and in many ways he is achieving popularity effortlessly. But there is a cost. Ben’s drive to explore his new “popular” life has led him to many places once unimagined. Ben grew up in a good Christian home, but His newfound success with the ladies has led him to put his faith and values on hold. While some people ride the fence, Ben has jumped it entirely. He has traded faith and God, for pleasure and popularity. Ben is not the alone.

reap eternal life.

disciples, "Whoever wants to be my
disciple must deny themselves and take
up their cross and follow me. 25 For
whoever wants to save their life
will lose it, but whoever loses their
life for me will find it. 26 What good
will it be for you to gain the
whole world, yet forfeit your
soul?
