Regenerate Our Culture

Yes, it’s true.

What’s a mom like me doing reading a 16-year-old young man’s blog? Well, if you’ve noticed that button in my left sidebar, there are only two more days until the launch of Regenerate Our Culture. So I thought I would sneak a peek over at Agent Tim’s blog to see if he’s busy getting prepared for the launch.

Busy is the word. But he’s not sitting around counting the minutes. He’s been joining top teen leaders across America at Teen Pact, which is being held at Patrick Henry College near Washington DC.

Here’s what he says about the week:

Well guys, I have to say the week was awesome. I have learned a lot, not only about government, but also a little bit about campaigning, blogging, writing, speaking, and listening. I’ve learned to speak better in front of large groups, even though I don’t really have a huge problem doing it. I’ve learned that I can get better at what I do, and I need to work a lot harder in my school work so that I can do well in the public arena. I’ve learned the importance of being grounded in what I believe when the issues are thrown in my faith. I’ve learned the importance of Scripture memorization.

OK. Can you say mentor? This is the kind of 16-year-old son I’d like to raise. Where’s this guy’s mom? How’d she do it? I’ve got a few more years between now and then.

I have to also say that I’ve noticed Agent Tim has one of the top-viewed blogs in the “Religion category” at Blog Top Sites. He’s ranked in the Top 20 in this category and has had nearly 50,000 hits since August. He’s blogging about important issues, and to me, he represents a generation of hope.

Now, I often choose guests to come visit my blog. The truth is, I just find successful people who I want to learn from, and ask if I can have a few minutes of their time. I’d love to ask Agent Tim’s mom a few questions about raising teenagers!! I think SHE would definitely have some sage advice.

By the way, Happy Birthday, Tim, and best wishes for your launch success!

  1. I’ll be checking back to see if you get that interview. I have a two-year-old boy and the thought of raising him in a culture that opposes everything good, lovely, noble… seems like a daunting task. I’m dying to know how Tim’s mom did it too, although I’m sure God had a hand in it as well!

  3. Hi Heather!
    That is so awesome! That’s the kind of young people we need for sure! I’m only 23 and believe me a few years ago when I was 16 guys like this were few and far between. I’m sure they are getting more and more rare! Thanks for telling me about his site. I want to visit it!
    Thanks for visiting my site btw! I have another site here: http://heathersrollercoasterlife.blogspot.com

  5. Thank you for your comment about my poem in Divine Stories of the Yahweh Sisterhood on my blog The Building Brows. It and your post has thinking.

    My my mom berated herself frequently for not being a better mom and constantly said that I turned out good only by God’s grace. I wonder how Agent Tim’s mom feels about how she brought up her son.

    I can’t help but put things into perspective: While our parents have strong influences in our lives, it is God who works in our children either through or in spite of us. To God be the glory.
