"The Challenge To Live As Jesus Taught!!!" is Jedlie's most popular faith based program ever. The show motivates children, teens and young adults to make Jesus' teachings part of their everyday life, to treat others the way we want to be treated, to respond to suffering with courage and compassion by standing up and helping and to understand that we are part of one body in Christ, so that we should reach out to include everyone. The program addresses the issue of cyber bullying effectively, teaching the importance of using technologies like the internet and cell phones responsibly. "The Challenge!!!" is reccommended by the Olweus program, the world's leading anti-bullying curriiculum.
"Pump Up Your Heart is Jedlie's all new, nationally acclaimed, school assembly that promotes exercise and motivates students to understand that their lives are special and precious gifts from God. Jedlie teaches that as stewards of that gift we are responsible to make healthy choices. It is the perfect compliment to any substance abuse prevention or DARE program, and is a great early introduction to John Paul II's Theology of the Body.
