Dove Campaign VS Axe Campaign

I am an all out supporter of Dove due to their recent ad campaigns! The church (at large) should be ashamed that we haven't been the instigators of such wonderful truths. However, every time you find something good about a thing, there are others present to point out the bad... So, while I am still a supporter of what Dove is doing, you ought to check this out: DOVE VS. AXE My hope is that this will bring up some broader conversations between you and your teens about self-esteem, body image, God's love for them, the sinfulness of seeing women or men as objects, etc.
