Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast. I'm Sissy Gough.

I'm David Thomas. And I'm Melissa Trevathan.

And we are so glad you've set us out a few minutes to spend with us today.

In each episode of this podcast, we'll share some of what we're learning in the work we do with

kids and families on a daily basis at Days Are Counseling in Nashville, Tennessee.

Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding,

a little more practical help and a whole lot of hope.

So pull up a chair and join us on this journey from our little yellow house to yours.

David has Connie watched a Jesus Revolution movie with you yet?

She has and she loved it. I knew she would. You know, Sissy, we're old enough that we were actually

around during the hippie movement of the 1970s. Did you have to go there, David? We were around,

but we weren't quite old enough to know what it was like. That's true.

I love how the Jesus Revolution movie gives us a glimpse into this important moment in our faith

history. The Jesus movement had such an impact on Christians and churches across the world.

We can all relate to Greg Laurie who had been searching for meaning in all the wrong places,

but then he met Lonnie Frisbee, a street preacher who was passionate about bringing the gospel of

Jesus Christ to the hippies. When Lonnie joined with Pastor Chuck Smith to open the doors of Chuck's

church to the barefoot long haired drug-addled hippies of SoCal, it began an unexpected revival

that would change the world. Jesus Revolution is rated PG-13 and makes for great conversation

with older kids about the impact of our decisions, peer pressure forgiveness, and second chances.

Those are some great conversations to have with teenagers. That's why I love this movie so much.

It's an incredible story that can impact our personal stories.
