Thoughts On School Shooting

Royal Family and Friends,

After hearing about the shooting today at the Chardon High School in Ohio its heartbreaking and down right NOT FAIR that kids should have to worry day to day if there high school will be next. Somewhere in all this there is action to be taken. The messages that are pumped into our lives everyday effect us greater than we can even imagine. Causing brothers to kill brothers and sisters to kill sisters. We must reach this generation at its most vulnerable place. Which is Jr High and High Schools. Teens are making drastic decisions everyday for good and for bad. Theres no vision and no direction! And without those two important aspects people tend to follow in the foot steps of those gone before them. Leading them into someones else's past and giving them no future of what they could become! Its time for you as students that go to a school to stand up for things that are right. Help those less fortunate and stick up for those who are bullied! It is definitely not time for us to be silent and scared! But to rise up and start prayer cultures and community events that reach out to homeless and hurting people. Boredom is not an option! We must be aware of whats before us and that its up to us to change it! As read this right now I pray that you are broken by the loss of a brother today and also anxious with tons of ideas about how you can began to change your world!

The hardest thought for me today after hearing about the shooting. Is that we lost someone in the body of christ. Someone that came from the same imagination of God killed his brother today. I cant help but think its because he really doesn't know he's hurting his on family. He didn't have a clear vision of what the Love of God looks like and that he's apart of something bigger than what it was that caused him to do something so drastic today. WE are all brothers and sisters and we must stand together. As the Body of Christ we are wounded today and we must morn for the loss of brother. It is our duty to lift those families and the rest of the student body up in prayer! 

One of the strongest influences in the world we live in today are the ones transmitted through music. So what Royal Tailor is going to do is continue to empower and produce tools for this generation to take control back! And Bring HOPE to those searching for their identity. Because its definitely not working with the messages that come from pop culture today! Be a VOICE in your lifetime… God gave you a voice to use, so use it for good!  

If you would like to aid Royal Tailor in our mission to getting into school heres how you can be apart. And at the very least pass the word around… Use your VOICE. Lets make a difference now, not later.

Why "GET SCHOOLED"?

The Story 

Our culture is dysfunctional.  Truth is relative.  The voices that are amplified through music and media are poisoning the hearts, minds, and value system of todays culture.  The poison is seeping into the lives of our youth.  There are some serious issues that we are dealing with.  In playing shows all over the country we meet thousands of students and we hear their stories.  Stories that tear your heart out.  Kids having to deal with the effects of divorce or abusive home lives.  Kids cutting their own bodies.  Kids that are insecure so they look to inappropriate physical relationships for validation.  Kids who are abusing alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, and anything else they can get their hands on so that they can feel a sense of escape from the reality that haunts them.  For so long we’ve dealt with these symptoms.  And that’s what these issues are; symptoms.  For so long we’ve tried to manage the symptoms but God is calling us to not just manage symptoms but deal with the core of the issue.  The core of the issue is that kids are living a life void of vision.  The Bible says that without vision people perish or cast off restraint.  It’s time that we stop allowing pop culture to cast vision for our kids and give them a vision of who Jesus is and who they are in Him.  That truth doesn’t just give us the power to manage symptoms, it changes everything.  

Royal Tailor wants to take 60 minutes out of a school day at schools nation wide and cast vision.  We want to inspire students to dream.  To tell them that they have the power to break the cycle of dysfunction in the world that surrounds them.  That there is hope when they feel hopeless.  That they have a future and it doesn’t have to look like their past.  

The Impact 

We want to do it bigger than MTV!  We want to do it better than the half-time at the Super Bowl!  We want to create a world-class, high-energy, performance driven, MIND BLOWING presentation leaving kids thinking of all sorts of colorful possibilities.  We also want them to realize that thoughtlessly following the trends of pop culture will leave them with a pale pallet that will paint nothing more than a dingy future.  We want to do this at multiple schools in each city.  Monday-Thursday, at four different schools in 1 city.  Then on Friday night of that week we will be pushing for all those kids to come to another HUGE concert.  In that concert we will deliver the Gospel.  Now, we are also working on a website and resources to keep students moving toward their destiny so that we do not just giving them inspiration without direction.  More details will unfold as this vision unfolds and people partner with us.  Hopefully this gives you a vision of what God has called us to do and compelled you to be a part of one of the biggest moves of God in our generation.
