In this episode, we discuss the streaming documentary Shiny Happy People: Teenage Holy War, which is available for streaming on Amazon Prime. In this episode we discuss the stories of abuse told by the documentary's contributors, the concept of martyrdom, and the ultimate failure of Ron Luce's "Acquire the Fire," "Teenage Mania," and "Battle Cry" ministries to achieve their goal of winning young people to Jesus. We also read a letter from a listener who attended "Day One," a large youth conference put on by Ron Luce's ministries in 1999. This event was historically significant because it coincided with the Columbine shootings, and was a catalyst for the prevalence of teenage martyrdom messaging within evangelical youth culture.

We originally planned on having a guest on this episode, but that fell through. We hope you guys like what we had to say about it!
