- The purpose of this project was to determine why certain Minnesota Baptist Conference (MBC) youth rebel against the faith of their families so that parents, teens, pastors, and denominational leaders might better understand the problem and seek correction based upon the Word of God. First, a literature review of both Christian and secular sources on teen rebellion was conducted. It showed that youth rebellion is a major problem in the church and that encouragers of rebellion include peer pressure, consumerism, and sexual pressure, while checks to rebellion include prayer, sound adult relationships, and truth. Second, twelve interviews were conducted involving both parents and adult children who had rebelled and returned to the faith within the last ten years. These interviews sought to identify contributions to rebellion in the lives of some MBC youth and checks to rebellion. With respect to warning signs, teen withdrawal and the existence of two (or more) worlds for youth were identified. Regarding encouragements to rebellion, peer pressure, culture, parenting issues, indifference toward God, and a self-centered worldview emerged as important themes. Unique data included ignorance of cultural influences, by both parents and youth, and teen personality issues. Regarding checks to departure from the faith, prayer was very significant. Other themes included parental and/or adult support and the direct intervention of God. This project confirms that teen rebellion within the church is a serious matter. The author believes that conference pastors and other leaders should educate their congregations on teen rebellion and provide care and encouragement for struggling parents and their rebellious teens.
