That's what this generation desires. They long for transparency. They long for vulnerability to be acceptable. They want to be connected. They want to be known. They want to be real. They can sniff out a facade pretty quickly.
We live in a culture that continually moves towards openness. Honesty is okay. It's hard to hide your secrets. As a new friend said yesterday, "They want to live within the question." They are okay with paradoxes. They don't need a pat answer to their problems. They just want someone to listen. To give an ear to their heartbeat.
They are tired of the manipulative messages in the media. They are tired of scandals that happen behind close doors. They are pursuing a culture of transparency.
And that's the kind of community we encourage here at Camp KIVU. A place where kids can ask questions, wrestle with their faith, and ultimately discover truth.
I wonder, are you creating a community around you that offers this freedom? The freedom to search and ask scary questions. The freedom to show your true self. To let others see your ugliness. To show that you really DON'T have it all together. Because that's what this culture is ready to hear.
One Republic just released a new song titled, "Secrets", that echoes the voice of our culture today. Check it out.
