Young people of this century are bombarded every day by temptations to live a life in pursuit of temporal and carnal gain. Success is defined by the attainment of a glamorous lifestyle had by the great names of Hollywood. Though young people of America have the fulfillment of their basic needs, most continue to live motivated by selfishness. This generation is falling prey to apathy, and may be the greatest generation to waste the potential impact of their lives. Rather than asking God for a vision for their lives, they ask Oprah and Friends. Instead of allowing Jesus to live His life in and through them, this generation follows the trends of post-modern culture.
Because of an extreme lack of genuine sincerity in modern day churches, American young people are disillusioned. The Christian young people of this day are not content to live complacent lives and as a result, fall prey to extremes passion in sports, fashion, education, and not in Christ. According to findings published in a UCLA dissertation, between 30 and 51% of Christians renounce their faith before graduating from college. That means one out of two professing Christian youth are turning their backs on the 18 years of Christian instruction from their homes and churches and embracing the atheistic ideas of their professors. In a study by Joshua McDowell, 74% of church kids cheat on tests, 93% lie to their parents, 63% become physically violent when angry, and 64% believe that you can do “good things” to earn your way to heaven. It is obvious that Christian young people are seriously distracted from the things of heaven.
Revolutionary Media will use its documentaries as a platform for three goals directed to the modern Christian youth culture: 1) Show the need for passionate believers who are willing to be Jesus hands and feet; 2) Provide inspiration for these young people to step outside their small perspective to impact their own world; and 3) Give information that will allow them to volunteer using their own gifts, callings, and abilities.
