God’s Gift of Being Unique


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative David Gosz from Oklahoma “Leadership” is a word we hear frequently in TeenPact.

Pizza Parties and Wisdom


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Nathan Furlough of Ohio. Of all my experiences in TeenPact, one of my favorites is staffing the one-day class. For those unfamiliar, the one-day class takes 8-12-year-olds on a fast-track of the basic TeenPact elements. Every one-day class builds up to the grand finale; TeenPact legislature. […]

Valleys, Mountaintops, and In-Between


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Meredith Durham of South Carolina. This life is not all sunshine and roses.

Without My Abilities, Am I Worthless?


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Chloe Carlson of Texas.   I was driving down the road on a blazing hot summer day a few months ago, listening to a podcast when the speaker of the show asked his guest two questions that I desperately needed to hear.

By His Power


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Kylee Brandon of Florida.   It was electrifying. I felt such an energy and passion for Christ while standing in the midst of hundreds of other believers at National Convention. It was absolutely electrifying.
