Style or Substance

The world may promote style over substance, but we disagree.

Style or Substance

We need to train our children in character over style. 

Style or Substance

We live in a time where style takes precedence over substance, but only to the undiscerning eye. There is still a market for those willing to put a priority on substance, even at the expense of style. Being popular may be stylish, but being allegiant to the truth, what is good and just, is what heroes are made of.

Let’s train our children in the area of personal character. Being on time, doing one’s best, putting God first in our lives, deafening the weak, standing up for what is right, and serving those who can’t serve themselves. These are all godly traits that in the long run bring joy peace and blessing to others, contentment to us, and glory to God.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"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
