When men arrive at Teen Challenge they bring with them the shadows of a young life that became old with confusion, deceit, dishonor, and the corrosion of innocence.
As they go through the program, they are hopefully able to gain some clarity and honor. Able to restore innocence and become a shadow of the man who walked off the streets and through these doors.
Part of this process is learning about Christ. His grace, His love, His truths. The other part of this process is them walking back through their experiences, and using their words to help them navigate through their pain toward healing.
Below is a poem written by one of the students. Please keep in mind that although some of the writings may be strong, our intention is to maintain the integrity of this website and Teen Challenge, while sharing the student's experience.
