Question:<\/h2>\n

Hello,<\/p>\nI wanted to email you because I have a few things to say.\n

    \n
  1. I’m looking at these other questions from young men my age and I’m wondering “OK, do we need to stop as a society and talk more about these things?”<\/li>\n
  2. We need to openly discuss these important issues. Your site is the only site that I find that’s really talking about this.<\/li>\n
  3. Can you make some YouTube videos or something that can talk about this? It’s like a lot of people are in the dark trying to figure things out and they are longing for wisdom.<\/li>\n
  4. Of course, the Bible and prayer are things that guide us.<\/li>\n
  5. These questions seemed to be rooted in curiosity, fear, and obsessive thinking. The obsession is whatever the topic is and the compulsion is to seek reassurance.<\/li>\n
  6. It’s a good idea to talk more about these problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nMaybe you should make a book called “The Teen Guy’s Guide to The Hidden Questions.”\n\t

    Answer:<\/h2>\n

    Thank you for writing. I haven’t made videos mostly because it isn’t the way I process information. I rather have things written down where they can be researched, easily quoted, and easily indexed by search engines. But I definitely understand that the younger generations seem to gravitate toward video presentations. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind.<\/p>\n

    In regards to issues you would like to see discussed, you need only let me know what questions are on your mind. There is a whole site dedicated just to the questions asked by teenage boys at Growing Up in the Lord for Boys<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
