Teenage Challenge

1958 · 28 min

A gentle, earnest church-basement drama about a teenager's quiet stand for faith, more sermon than story.

Overview
High school reporter Dave writes an essay for the school contest about the importance of finding God's will for his own life which causes quite a controversy. Teens weigh being popular party goers versus being a good Christian. This film is part of a series for teenagers who are questioning their faith in a modern world that doesn't seem very friendly to Christians.
