Not Too Young features a rollicking version of the modern praise hit “I Am Free” (written by Jon Egan and made popular by newsboys), the boy meets girl purity pledge “Forever,” and fan-requested accompaniment tracks for each selection. True to the band’s inherent youthful energy level, Mission Six calls the latter “rock-alongs.”

To be sure, there’s no overlooking the playfulness within this team of teenagers that is just as defining as its spiritual depth.

Once asked during an interview about the main message of Mission Six, Anthony got a laugh with the understated answer, “God is fun.” But it’s true; these five friends are having the time of their lives singing to Him and consider the Creator a full-fledged band member (hence the “six” in their name).

“If you think about it, the Bible is this huge action story—anything but boring. Worshiping God really is fun,” says David.

The endearing Mission Six spirit of fun is most evident onstage, and also online, where the guys post a hilarious recurring segment known as “Band vs. Food.” With classic juvenile abandon, Noah, Isaac, Michael, Anthony, and David challenge each other to eat sour cream and onion-flavored crickets, cow brain sandwiches, and not just hot, but blazing chicken wings. Balancing the zaniness, there are also regular installments of “Mission Six and You,” an adventurous Bible study series with creative scripts.

As Not Too Young confirms, it takes a light heart and deep love to change the world.

Let’s start the revolution now . . . won’t you come along and dream with me?

No one is ever too young for that.
