Head and Shoulders Above
There is a critical labor shortage across America. We are producing less and less while demanding more and more. And here at Youth-Reach, we see this as an advantage to our boys.
Angry Young Men
This past Monday night I had the Youth-Reach boys over to my home for our weekly Bible study. The study was on anger, and I began with some seemingly innocuous questions. With the horrific news coming from Uvalde, Texas their responses should concern us all.

How to Alter a Generation
The attack on masculinity is at an all time high, but I am extremely blessed to have a front row seat to the fight against it. For nearly seven years now, I’ve had the opportunity to see and have a hand in what God is doing in the lives of the young men that come through Youth-Reach Houston...

After finding a very large and very healthy colony of honeybees on our campus (and interpreting this to be an opportunity) we contacted Pastor Kent Wilson who we know to be a local beekeeper.
