What is Turning Point Academy Prep Year? It is the culmination of what you and Dr. Hutz Hertzberg, Chief Education Officer, have been working on to prepare students for life, to be leaders, to have impact, and if they go on to college, to be ready to be influencers when they get there.
That's right. Training of the Mind, whole life transformation. The program will include mentors that come in like yourself to help students understand economics from a biblical worldview perspective. And how to read and process through the great writings of Western civilization in a way that has a biblical infusion of truth at the foundation of them.
Yeah, but that would be a short-sighted statement of what the facilities are like. They're incredible facilities. The accommodations are off the charts. There's going to be a retreat center, conference center-like experience for the students, the size of the dorms, the excellence of the dorms.
But more than just the experience on the outside, it's the way that their hearts and lives will be transformed.
There'll be a week long modular training format where from a classical education perspective, helping students learn with rhetoric, helping students learn in a collegial style of learning where they don't just listen from lecture content, but they actually learn to engage and to think and then. with virtue and wisdom, how to apply the truths that they're learning.
I've been involved in Christian ministry for the better part of the last 25 years, prior to which I did play football at Northwestern University, and I see you have a Big Ten representation back there.
Okay, fair enough, fair enough. So that experience, though, it was one where I learned myself to learn to engage with what it meant to stand for my faith. So I went from there and went and got a Master's of Divinity, and not a PhD, but a doctorate in ministry, which is relevant for this program because of the application of truth to life.
And so as a part of this last 25 years of serving in ministry, mostly pastoral, I've also been in Christian education.
just focused on teaching seniors in high school biblical worldview at a couple of different christian schools at a bible college a senior seminar capstone classroom program context where it's so evident students need to learn to finish well so they can go be influencers right away young leaders already leading in many ways now being prepared not just to go and sort of flail in the context of the ideologies that are being pumped out by some institutions
but to go into flourish and what it means to be girded up in their faith and to influence others toward the ways of Christ.
It's really a holistic perspective from the beginnings of understanding the clarity of what it means to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. The perfect life and sacrificial death and resurrection from the dead of Christ. That's so critical that they understand it's not just a general faith, a general belief. There's specific tenets of the faith that are necessary.
And so from that standpoint, then moving to what do I do? and response to the gospel. How do I live? How do I think? What does marriage look like? What does stewardship look like of the gifts that I've been given, also of the resources that I've been able to glean, of the talents and skills? So all of that, in addition to some of the more nuanced aspects of intellect. Right.
The Bible makes it super clear, Charlie, super clear that the beginning of knowledge and wisdom is the fear of the Lord. It's the fear of the Lord.
Right. And so to start there and to think, oh, I really don't need to go beyond here to get to where God wants me to go. And so to help students understand, yes, let's bring all of the intellect of the world.
That's right. Bring it all in here and then watch how it is redefined and ultimately pushed aside by the truths that come from Scripture.
So in large part, yes, but then in Christian education as a guest lecturer, as an overseer of interns for undergrad and master students, yes.
Yeah, the lack of biblical literacy. From Christian students. From Christian students and oftentimes in Christian schools. Number one question, always answered, always answered with a no. Have you been taught how to study the truth for yourself? Negative, negative, negative across the board. Even with some students that are actually in college.
in Bible colleges as a guest lecturer or in a senior seminar context. And so it's a great opportunity to help the students that apply. And some of these students are just the best representation in certain categories of excellence. One student that's applied and been accepted at 33 on the ACT.
Another student, two students already accepted at well-known institutions across the country with scholarship money. They're putting that on pause so that they can come prepare to go use that education to the best of its ability.
Yeah, it is. It's approaching. And this is the most unique opportunity that a student, especially a student that wants to go be a leader, could have. Because of generous donors, building on the foundation of Turning Point Academy where we have the Educator Summit coming up July 10th through the 13th for all educators across the globe. Great opportunity. Go to our website. You can see more there.
