Heal Me

Morning dawned bright and students awoke to a time of Bonjour focusing on the day’s theme of Heal Me. Bonjour is a time for TeenPact students to start off their day centered on Scripture, giving each an opportunity to pray and think about their response to the truth of God’s Word.   The call to […]

Forgive Me

Students anxiously leaned forward to catch every moment of the Morning Show today. What began as a seemingly normal day at class took an interesting twist as the words “campaign” and “sabotage” were introduced to the audience. Through the humorous retelling of TeenPact State Class experiences, students see themselves in the Morning Show characters as […]

Rescue Me

The clouds that hovered over campus in the morning quickly disappeared as the first full day of National Convention began. This busy day introduced many of our favorite aspects of the week including elections, sports tournaments, guest speakers, and the morning and afternoon shows.   For those new to TeenPact, you may be wondering, “What’s […]

Welcome to NatCon18

Welcoming cheers sounded across campus as hundreds of TeenPacters gathered at Lee University for National Convention. The joyful shouts mixed with a few nervous laughs and shy smiles filled the air as first time students checked-in alongside seasoned NatCon alumni. It seemed as if everyone had been waiting for this moment for months and now […]

#NatCon18 – Join Us From Home

National Convention is just around the corner and we are gearing up for the largest event of the TeenPact year and we couldn’t be more excited. You may be reading this and thinking, “Oh, how I wish I had registered for National Convention!” Never fear. We understand. Because not everyone will be able to join […]

When Losing Hurts

TeenPact National Elections are right around the corner. This has given me nearly a year to reflect on my own experience with the election process.   Wow. What a journey. Over a year ago, I had decided that running for President would be an adventure and a challenge that God wanted me to boldly embrace. […]

My Friend, Jimmy Brazell

Jimmy Brazell continues to inspire me.   I met Jimmy when we were volunteering with TeenPact for the first time. We were both attending the ministry’s inaugural Staff Training event and quickly became friends. Providence would have it that we would staff together not once, not twice, but three times that year. Jimmy lived life […]

A Judicial Journal

It’s finally summer! My friends are sunburnt and applying for seasonal jobs, and today I finished my Judicial homework. My mom gave me this notebook and suggested I jot down some thoughts at the end of each day.   Day 1 – Sunday Today I flew by myself for the first time. At the Richmond […]

The Stories of National Convention

There’s nothing quite like arriving at National Convention.   After surviving those last few minutes of driving (which are the longest part of the trip), you swing your car door open, and you’re greeted by a hot Tennessee breeze and hundreds of excited strangers. Even for the most extroverted of us, this sea of faces […]

To Celebrate or Not to Celebrate

Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s a friend. Maybe it’s someone on television or a viral video on the gram.   There’s a lot of hate for the President of the United States.   Everyone has their favorite and least favorite presidents. President Reagan is adored by conservatives, while President Obama is heralded as one of […]

Burn Brightly

This year, Alex and I have been incredibly humbled and blessed to serve as your TeenPact President and Vice President. As your elected officials, we have sought to take full advantage of the incredible platform that has been entrusted to us. Over the past semester, we have been blown away by that each elected official […]

By Our Love

They will know us by our love.   Never has this sentence made more sense in my life than this last semester of my life.   I have been blessed. I grew up in a Christian family and was involved in our local church, speech and debate, and of course, TeenPact. Each of these groups are […]

For the Dreamers

I had it all planned. I knew exactly what I was going to write, but God placed something new on my heart very recently, and I need to share it with you.   I have been a dreamer my entire life.   There is so much in this world that I want to see and […]
