Christmas is over and the bills are rolling in.

Being Somebody

Was the debt worth it all?

Being Somebody

Kids have a hard enough time keeping it real they don’t need plastic parents putting a premium on style rather than substance. In this day of “easy credit,” it is so easy to live beyond our means and lose focus on real priorities. This creates hollow people that cultivate Hollywood-type superficial relationships. Unfortunately, this hollowness affects our kids.

Proverbs 12:9 says, “Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food.” Kids see through the facade of parents buying things they don’t need, with money they don’t have, to impress people they don’t like. So if you want to truly live, live within your means.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
“I am so thrilled to know that there are those out there who are standing on the authority of God’s Word in this age of compromise; teaching parents…to pass on that spiritual legacy to the next generation.” - Ken Ham,  CEO & Founder of Answers in Genesis
