The backstory about "Never Settle" from the artist

The old-school boombox on the front design is kind of a representation of us, (people), and our lives. The cassette tapes from the back are our actions, the way we live our lives. Each day, we play the same tapes over and over again: we procrastinate, do average in school, perform up to standard in our jobs, etc. We aren't really living up to our full potential, we're just sort of getting by. We're ok with a 'C' grade instead of an 'A'. We're just living everyday the same. 'The enemy of greatness is good' is the quote around the tapes, reminding us that we can do better. We can be better. So you don't have to play those same cassette tapes everyday, throw them away. Never settle. - Adam

We process thousands of messages today in the media, Hollywood and advertising regarding sex, appearance, and self-image.    This year’s winter retreat for teens is all about understanding what God’s idea in these areas of our lives are all about. Getting to the core of the matter, our special guest speakers and break out sessions for guys and girls will bring great insight on how to deal with these important areas of our lives. We are taking on the tough questions... real life, real answers.
