“Wrong opinions” on homosexuality and abortion gets musician/preacher censored

Oct. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- The mission of Bradlee Dean's ministry, You Can Run International is simple: rescue our youth from the moral deterioration of our secular culture. Through his ministry, You Can Run International (http://youcanruninternational.com/index2.html), Dean and his Christian heavy-metal rock band visit high schools to reach out to today's youth. The principal of Dunkerton High School in Iowa recommended Bradlee saying, "I would highly recommend You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International for all schools. Their powerful message should be heard by all," and invited him to return to the school.

Persecuted by media

When the media got wind of this story however, all the facts got flipped on their head. As the story unfolds according to Dean's YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzZAR1VFZHY&feature=share&list=UU4JVsGzaoblCo1t1-lgrGcA), the media slammed the event, citing Dean as spreading "offensive opinions on homosexuality and abortion.”



The video shows that in a follow-up presentation with parents of the Dunkerton students, the son of the newspaper editor who had slandered Dean tried to mock Dean's pro-life views during the question and answer session. Yet Dean only comes under fire because the truth makes people uncomfortable.

Christian principles can guide politics

Dean's ministry offers what many lack the courage to offer: guiding Christian principles in an immoral world. The support he has received for his ministry is vast, as his Testimonials (http://youcanruninternational.com/event_assemblies/testim...) page attest.

For youth who "want to be stirred, challenged, and given a chance to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Dean's message offers something real and challenging: living a life for Christ.

As one principal shares in his testimony of Dean, “If you want a program that is straightforward and reaches teens where they are at, then this is the program for you — but be warned, some people are not ready to hear an opinion that is different from the mainstream culture.”
