What is "Keepin' It Real"?
(from the Sampler Disc)
by Arden Skoglund

Do you have a passion to see people develop a real faith which permeates every facet of their lives? Keepin’ It Real challenges people to live their lives as God really intended--not simply saying the right words, or going through the motions, but pursuing a vital relationship with Christ that dictates the choices in every area of their lives.

Keepin’ It Real is a musical drama about high school students in a youth group being challenged to prove by the way they live that they are truly following God, a challenge based on Matt. 3:8. The story is interwoven with scripture readings and songs filled with rich truths that support it. In the end, as a student is drawn to trust Jesus, it is easy to see the vital importance of Keepin’ It Real.
