The Magnitude of Mercy


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Senator Joel Myers of Nebraska.   This is not the story I wanted to tell.   When I began to write this post, I thought I knew exactly what I was supposed to share. I thought I had a message that was not only worth spreading but […]

God’s Tapestry


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Senator Maggie Megelsh of Tennessee.   I recently saw a woman making a tapestry. She worked from the back of the tapestry, weaving in a new piece of colored thread every few minutes. The back of the tapestry was a tangled mess of thread, tied off in […]

On Things Above


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Senator Isaac Richardson of Missouri.   I was an easily distracted child. I can’t count the number of times my mom gave me a school assignment to then ten minutes later find me outside jumping on our trampoline and not doing school. As I have grown older, […]

Stick With It


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Libby Robinson of Georgia.   As with any event, it’s easy to go through the motions at National Convention. You can become so emotionally invested in what you’re experiencing that you often get what some might call a “spiritual high.” I find myself falling into this […]

Escaping the House of Fear


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Seth Martin of Virginia.   It was election night at National Convention. I anxiously awaited for the results to roll in, full of fear instead of peace. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I had hung a lot on who would win. More than […]

We Do Not Lose Heart


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Laura Gosz of Oklahoma.   “I’m so excited to go home!” I told my Rendezvous leader at a TeenPact event several years ago. My leader gave me a puzzled look…tonight was the last night of the event, and my statement clearly caught the sniffly group by […]

By Faith, Not Feeling


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Anna Claire Williams of Mississippi.   Sometimes the Lord takes us though a spiritual desert in order to reveal that He is the only one that can quench our thirst. The dryness won’t make sense. At least, it didn’t make sense to me. About three years […]

That One

I have the privilege to represent the TeenPact student body for the 2018-2019 year. During election night, I tried to focus my efforts on […]

Like Playing with LEGOs


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Patrick Sullivan of Florida.   Something that really helps me to understand God’s word and my faith are analogies. That’s what Jesus did with His people. To get his point across, He would tell them a parable in order for them to understand what He was […]

Hope During Hardship


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Senator Micah Burk of Oklahoma.   A few weeks ago, my Church began a study on the book of Habakkuk. Through this study it became so apparent to me just how many people are suffering in my community. The fact is that we will all face low […]

Dear TeenPacter,   Three months and three weeks ago I was elected, alongside my good friend Toby DeMoss and 13 congress members, to represent the TeenPact student body for the 2018-2019 year. I still get chills as I think of all the excitement and nervousness I felt that Friday night, trying my best to focus […]

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 […]

Stay Salty


If you’re like me, you probably heard at least one sermon about “salt and light” growing up. And if you’re like me, you probably don’t recall the “salt” part being addressed nearly as much as the “light”.   Around nine months ago, I noticed that while I could tell you all about being “the light […]

Show Me


Since last October God has blessed me with a job as a barista at Starbucks. I love my job because the work environment allows me to be creative. I enjoy getting to know (most of) the regular customers that come in, and I really like working with and getting to know my co-workers.   Recently […]
