The time that I spent at the Honor Academy will always be a priceless season of my life to me. As an undergraduate and then as a Core Advisor, the Lord worked mightily in my life to greatly deepen my relationship with Him to a level that I never thought possible. Through the leadership above me and the interns around me, Teen Mania helped to develop in me many disciplines that have prepared me for success as leader in every facet of life. From the way that I invest my time to the character choices by which I live my life, I am forever changed.
Before my time at the Honor Academy, I selfishly spent so much of my time filling my mind with things like movies and music that hindered my walk with the Lord. During my time at the Honor Academy, the Lord sharpened my focus so that I have more of an eternal perspective on how I look at the people around me and the way that I spend my time. My attitude now is so profoundly different than it was before.
One of the ways that Teen Mania was most instrumental in my life though was how God used it to reveal so much to me about my role in the Great Commission. Cultivated by the classes and leadership, God has planted seeds in my life that I’m confident will continue to yield very much fruit for the Kingdom.
Praise God for an organization like Teen Mania. I can’t say enough about how much this organization means to me, or how much I would encourage people to invest a year of their life with the Honor Academy.
