Expectations vs Expectation

TeenPact’s Alumni Events each offer unique growth experiences. They give you opportunities for growth like running for office at National Convention, and powerful, perspective-shifting experiences like worshipping in front of the Lincoln Memorial at Back to DC. One Alumni Event that was especially pivotal in my spiritual journey was Congress 2018 – my first Alumni […]

How do we become men?

When it comes to the topic of manhood you know it’s important, probably because you know what’s at stake. You know the stats on fatherless homes, or maybe even experienced it first-hand. You know there’s a need for “real men” but find the road to attaining this title yourself rather ambiguous. Culture works overtime (consciously […]

Under Judicial Review

With first-day jitters, students arrive from Florida, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Liberty University’s very own Virginia for Judicial 2018. Sheltered by a grove of trees beside their spacious dorm, students wave goodbye to brave parents and meet friends, old and new! Over a lemonade, corn hole, and the clamor of a foursquare, talk of Moot Court and […]

There is a Place for You

What does it take to be a godly woman in 2018? Good homemaking skills? An artistic bent? A versatile, down-to-earth personality? Athletic strength, musical talent, good SAT scores, or an organized closet? A big circle of friends or being pursued by godly guys?   No.   The only thing we need to live a life […]

Mr. Smith Goes to… Tallahassee?

It was the summer of 1776. The Continental Congress was meeting in Philadelphia at what would later become Independence Hall. “The Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence.” Tensions rose, and arguments were raised from all sides. “Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee’s resolution,” but appointed […]

Fill Me

The final day of TeenPact National Convention had many special moments of genuine fellowship, deep conversation, and passionate worship. It was another day on the journey toward understanding who the Great Shepherd is and what He has done for His sheep. Seeking, rescuing, forgiving, healing, keeping, and finally — filling.   Our morning worship started […]

Keep Me

Morning came quickly after an exciting night of debate and voting. As students hustled into morning session, one could feel the anticipation building for the day.   Following the morning show which once again left students on the edge of their seats, a special speaker from Operation Christmas Child, Yuliya Shubani, spoke on the sovereignty […]

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 […]

Prepare Your Heart for National Convention 2018

National Convention is almost here. How does that make you feel? Excited? Overwhelmed? Are you ready? No? Take a moment. Breathe. In. Out. In. Out. Rest. National Convention is almost here, and you need to breathe. You need to rest.   But you can’t rest. You’ve been striving and striving. You’ve been searching. You’ve been […]

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 […]
