Song Description: "Reckless Youth" is a driving rocker that exhorts listeners to live recklessly-in the best sense of that word-in the way they express their faith. The initial inspiration, Rob says, came from a chapter of Mike Yaconelli's book Dangerous Wonder called "Reckless Abandon." Doing a bit more research, Rob found that one definition of the word reckless is "to act with disregard for consequence." Applying that idea to our faith, Rob says this song is about "pursuing Christ without fear, not caring what people think but living your faith with disregard for consequence." The Chorus focuses on spiritual warfare, on facing our spiritual enemy with the ammunition that God has given us: "We are the fearless ones/We are the loaded guns/With nothing left to lose/We are the reckless youth/We are the chosen ones/We'll never have to run." "We have nothing to fear," Rob says. "Our victory is already claimed, and we have all the spiritual ammunition we'll ever need, but sometimes we don't have the discipline to know how to use it." That means surrendering our fear as we trust God with our battles and realizing, in Rob's words, that "I am a follower of Christ, no matter what the consequences. That's what it means to be a 'reckless youth.'"
