Freedom isn’t free, but it’s worth the effort.
Our founding fathers learned valuable lessons of freedom the hard way. They chose not to sit back and let an oppressive tyrant enslave them and their future generations. It cost them their energy, time, money, and it cost many men their lives. If so many were willing to work so hard and even shed their blood for freedom and for this constitution, shouldn’t we give a few hours of our time and one or two of our Ben Franklins to defend and restore it?
Our founding documents established our republic and protected our freedom; to try and continue on without them will end surely in tyranny. When a patient is bleeding to death, does he need a Gatorade transfusion? No, he needs to replace the precious blood he has lost. We must recapture what we have lost in America.
We are the king!
America needs you to govern well. It can’t survive without you rising up to your throne, and I can’t get this message heard without your help. I urge you to join our campaign today! www.wearetheking.com
Question: Do you want to leave an encouragement for Isaac?
Alumni story of God’s Grace
I strongly feel that I would not be where I am today had it not been for my training at the Honor Academy.
As I was leaving the internship I had a small bag of belongings… no car …..no credited education…. and a host of priceless moments and God-promises of what was ahead including MY VISION STATEMENT…. which centered on the following verse.
I will lead the BLIND …….Is 42:16 “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”
I also had a different work ethic, boldness that I never had before… and a will to accomplish what was ahead, no matter what.
After I got home, I quickly got a job and started college with a plan to someday be an optometrist. Set out on my own..
To make a long story short, I started a women’s bible study stayed plugged in my church and continued to do many missions trips all while I was working as a waitress and going to school. I was asked to preach at a Woman’s conference. Got accepted to Optometry School and very soon got into a bad horse back riding accident. Head first into the fence. The ER Dr said I was lucky to be alive and even still lucky to still be able to walk. The dean of my college wanted me to take a year off to re cooperate. I said “NO WAY” if I fail I will fail trying. I graduated with honors in the top 10% of my class. At that school re-started FELLOWSHIP of Christian Optometrists (it had fizzled out many years earlier). I led a trip to Honduras where we did eye clinics and gave out glasses. Many people who could not read their bible just a simple pair of reading glasses made all the difference. That group has grown leaps and bounds and touches many other disciplines. It is so awesome to see something you birthed be blessed by God! I graduated May 2010 as and Eye Doctor!!! and got a job in Atlanta where I still reside. I married my other half Nov 2011. The best blessing from God I have ever imagined. Through it all staying PURE clear minded and pursuing the call. My vision continues to expand as we find all that I am called to in this profession. My husband and I are part of the children’s ministry at our church and newly wed ministry. I still plan on doing many more medical missions trips with my husband and my husband has a strong call to preach, lead and write to this generation. As one unit we are excited for what is ahead.
ALL that to quickly say……..
I want to sincerely thank you!! Thanks for all you have done to instill into this generation (ME) a seed of greatness and how to relentlessly and passionately pursue the ONLY GOD worth living for.
Be blessed,
Dr. Z (Jacqueline Zermeno)

Staying as a Graduate Intern
Right now the August Undergraduate Interns in the Honor Academy are praying about staying a second year. One of the programs they can be part of is the Core Advisor program. Here is a video made by former Core Advisor’s explaining the heart behind the program:

Honor Academy Alumni Speaking Life To the Interns
We finished up our Week of the Ring with an incredible banquet on Saturday night. We had around 140 family members that came to the banquet to support the August Interns that made a commitment to a life long pursuit of Honor and Godliness. Here is another video that we showed the interns this past week from an alumni:
Question: What are your memories of the Week of the Ring banquet?

Fruit that lasts
On Monday I spoke to the interns at the opening session of Week of the Ring. I spoke to them on being people that pursue Godliness and being people that pursue the heart of Jesus. I also explored the topic of being people that are determined and hard workers. Before I spoke to them, I had them watch this video from an alumnus about her experience 12 years ago:
Question: What was your response to this video?
