The student leaders from PowerHouse Youth Ministry — headquartered at New Life Outreach International Church in Richmond, Va. — demonstrate how not to act on a date. Youth pastor Eddie Granell says the video was created as part of a series of teachings on “tough love.”

“The series dealt with love, sex, and dating,” Eddie says. “Our student leaders and I sat down and threw ideas together. They came up with all the scenarios and they did all the acting.”

What Not to do on a Date

His advice for youth leaders: “Our youth group is fairly small, but if you give your teens a flip video and a general idea of what you’re teaching on, they’ll come up with something. Some of the stuff they do we use, some we don’t. If anyone has any questions, I’m not a pro or anything but I’ll always help where I can.”
