But this opportunity is time-sensitive. Because we've had generous donors donate the equivalent of $20,000 scholarships for every student that's accepted.
Yeah. The students that get accepted, they'll pay $1,000 deposit fee just to let us know that they're seriously committed after they go through the intervent process.
Right. So in seminary context, in Bible training context, it's called hermeneutics. how to get at the truth. Everybody has access to the truth, but it's important to learn how to study the truth. Why? So that I don't bring my, I do as much as I can to put aside my inclinations and I let the scripture speak for themselves.
We are overrun right now with people quoting from the Bible out in culture saying, oh, this is Jesus, this is truth. And they're really not representing the truth of Jesus at all. They're representing what they thought culture would demand and impose upon them, and then they're slapping Scripture on top of it. Instead of that, let's push culture aside.
Let's let the Scriptures speak for themselves, and then let the Scriptures define culture, which is so much of what you do and what you have done with Turning Point in many, many regards. So hermeneutics, how to study the Bible. Let me learn step by step. Simple. It's not studying Hebrew. It's not studying Greek.
But there are simple God-centered ways, not people-centered ways, to learn to study the Bible. One of the methods is just look, learn, live. Look at the text. See what the author is saying to the original audience. Learn from the Scriptures based on what it objectively says, and then let's figure out how to live it out.
Absolutely. They are, at this point, for the applicants that we've gotten, number one off the charts in several ways. Some are worship leaders at their churches or in their context. Some are already super skilled in the area of graphic design and photography, etc. All of them. have a testimony of how the gospel of Christ has already impacted their lives.
Many of them already have begun to lead in spiritual context on their campuses or in their homeschool context, and now they're just eager for somebody to come alongside them to help them grow in what they've done. You wouldn't believe this. One of the students, we learned through the interview process, she had just written a
a document to the local governor to challenge the public office about the importance of taking a stand on important biblical issues. A 30-page document, well-written, presented it. And so we get on this interview, and then she says, well, I just got back from this event, right? What was it, a sports event, a local? No, she's standing for important things in our culture for Christ.
students will have been thoroughly exposed to what it looks like to walk with Christ because of a biblical understanding of prayer life and spiritual pursuits. They will be involved in what it means to also go and serve in the community in various contexts. They'll take trips to the capital of the state that we're in. We'll take trips to public office. And at the end,
They'll be fortified in their understanding of biblical worldview in a way that equips them to walk into a myriad of different opportunities, whether it's military, whether it's entrepreneurship in the marketplace, whether it's going to focus on preparing to be a homemaker, whether it's preparing for public office.
They'll have clarity on how their background, their aptitude, their skill sets apply to those different contexts.
Yeah, you know, the biggest problem facing Christian education is that it's oftentimes marketed as something that it used to be, that it no longer is, right? Something that's going to help students understand how to think properly. And I wouldn't suggest that that's what it is.
I just remember sitting at this incredible institution, undergrad, receiving class or lecture, and the professor espouses this content. And I'm a freshman, and I thought, oh, he's telling us these facts. I'm taking notes. And I raised my hand. I asked a question. And I asked, so these facts you're helping us understand. And he probably says, wait, they're not facts. They're theories.
I had no more questions. Because I thought I want to hear facts. I want to hear data that is true and time-tested. I don't want to hear theories. I can go read about those on my own as I so choose. I want the information that's necessary. So that now is, I would say, one of the biggest divides. Is the data, the information that's being presented, is it fact?
Or is it theory, ideological, and from culture and essentially from man? Whereas classical education, foundation, information, moving on to the middle stage, which is understanding, moving to virtue and wisdom. Which education, I've heard you say, education... Needs to lead forth. Yeah, it needs to move into that. Now, you know...
Public education is saying that they don't extend virtue and wisdom, but they are trying to infuse with the ideologies a way in which it's applied. So we've got a great partner and our host in Dallas, in Fort Worth.
You couldn't have a better first year start because the leaders, Dr. Dockery and at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, so many like-minded leaders there, the provost and the dean of students, great leaders that are going to help us just by helping the environment be created and to create a means through which students might find another one of the pathways.
which is academia, where they go in to be influencers. Maybe they're not a lawyer, but they go into the academia context and get degrees that will have helpful payoff, not just for what they benefit from financially, but how they can impact the culture.
Yeah, so already on turningpointacademy.com, there are resources for young students and older students alike to understand the Constitution, to understand the Bill of Rights, to walk through economics. And our leader, Jennifer Burns, the director of academics, she's laid out a great set of resources. Well, when these students get into the Prep Year program, they're going to walk through economics.
