I LOVE the EDGE CD's. I used the stories out of the ‘Self Talk’ audio by Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady in one of my youth wrestling practices. Picture this: 65 Pre-K to 5th grade old boys and girls running around a wrestling mat. Myself and 3 other parents trying to show them a single leg takedown. Herding cats would have been easier! I blew the whistle and told everyone to sit down and asked some of the old wrestlers why they weren't listening? Some stated, "I don't know?" Some stated, "I can't do it!" So I told them the stories of Chris Brady’s motor-cross crashes and racing back up to the front and how Orrin wouldn't let a Freshman beat him. It was amazing the impact these stories had on those kids! I had their undivided attention while I retold these stories! I hand that audio out the most to kids and young adults who are having a hard time believing in themselves.

As a former counselor and administrator for public schools in DE, I have found the EDGE series to be the perfect tool to use for responsive writings or in group settings with students needing critical thinking skills, social and relational skills, etc or on a wide variety of topics that have a profound impact on their thinking and actions. It is rare to find such timely topics available for young people grounded in principles on a wide range of current issues facing kids today from the perspective of those who are living or working with those challenges. When those speaking can take complex ideas and make them accessible to youth in a way that challenges them to think, you have your hands on life impacting material.
