Pop worship music. Falling in love with Jesus. Mission trips. Wearing jeans and T-shirts to church. Spiritual searching and church hopping. Faith-based political activism. Seeker-sensitive outreach. These now-commonplace elements of American church life all began as innovative ways to reach young people, yet they have gradually become accepted as important parts of a spiritual ideal for all ages. What on earth has happened?

In The Juvenilization of American Christianity Thomas Bergler traces the way in which, over seventy-five years, youth ministries have breathed new vitality into four major American church traditions -- African American, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic. Bergler shows too how this "juvenilization" of churches has led to widespread spiritual immaturity, consumerism, and self-centeredness, popularizing a feel-good faith with neither intergenerational community nor theological literacy. Bergler's critique further offers constructive suggestions for taming juvenilization.

Toxic ingredients
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
There are endocrine disruptors in here that are harmful to your health. I nearly got to the point of being disabled from endocrine issues. Has ingredients that ruin fertility, raise risk of cancer, and ruin your endocrine system. I hope these brands can take these ingredients out and begin to care about consumers health.

Best Baby Sunscreen ☀️
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50 Spray
Putting sunscreen on a one year old is never an easy task. So I learned very quickly that the spray was a must. I’ve tried several different kinds and have had issues with eye irritation because I’m sure as y’all all know (that I definitely did not know) the first thing they do when you put sunscreen on their face is rub it immediately in their eyes. Although this one is not completely irritation free, I have noticed much less irritation to her eyes (or maybe she’s finally learning not to rub her eyes after I put it on idk 🤷🏼‍♀️). Regardless this is a great safe, easy to apply sunscreen for babies!

Thick & Protective
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50 Spray
I like this spray because it goes on thick and stays on for a while (even when playing in water). It does spray on white and requires a quick rub in, but I know my kids are protected from the sun when using this product.
