Blog post by Patriot Academy Governor John Moore Leadership: Noble Character Meeting a People In Need When turbulent times arise, it is more important than ever to have a strong grasp of courageous leadership. More than ever, the American people are asking questions, and they’re not looking for armchair quarterbacks, slothful clergymen, greedy politicians, or narcissistic newscasters to answer those questions. They are looking for leaders who hold an understanding of transcendent truths, and who manifest those truths in their...

This post was written by Patriot Academy alumnus and fundraiser extraordinaire Emily Nicholson. Fundraising–it’s one of the biggest tasks on practically every PA student’s agenda. And for good reason: most students don’t have an extra cache of $800-$995 lying around to spare. Even if you do, PA strongly suggests that you raise your funding from outside sources in order to gain firsthand experience in this crucial aspect of the political process. Most people’s first instinct is to hit up their family and friends for...

“The most important lesson that I have learned in my life is extremely simple. It is to be proud of being American. We live in the greatest country in the world. As Americans, we have rights and privileges unlike that of any other country on the face of the Earth. Considering that my first name is the same as that of one of the greatest generals of all time, I obviously come from a military family. I have been taught from an early age that freedom is not free, and that men and women have died to give us our freedoms that we use on a...

Post by Patriot Academy alumnus Hannah Watts: Often, in the political world, we are told that we must hold fast to our principles. However, there is not much discussion on what this really means. Being principled is not just knowing what you believe. This is simply not enough. When looking to be an individual who is fully convicted in the principles you rely upon, there are three things that must be remembered. You must first establish your principles. Of course, just establishing your principles is not enough, but it is a definite...

Post by Patriot Academy alumnus Joshua-Caleb Barton: You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, or a whiz in political science to figure out that the upcoming election is an important one. The debt crisis, out of control spending, weakening economy, and joblessness, (just to name a few of the publicly known issues!) all loom over our nation like a dark cloud, threatening to overtake it. Whoever gets into the White House will have a real mess on their hands, and what they do with it will very well determine whether America will gain...

Blog post by Patriot Academy alumnus Savannah Barry: Many times, when working to restore the Biblical foundations upon which theUnited Stateswas founded, you won’t see results right away. After putting your everything into this cause, you may find yourself asking, “Why isn’t this working? Why can’t I see change happening?” During the 2011 session ofPatriotAcademy, Rick Green told a story about someone who was put in this exact situation, and it went like this: Even though the Founding Fathers intended The United States of...

Post by Patriot Academy alumnus Caleb Casto Around Christmastime of 2002, the Parliament of the United Kingdom was working on passing a ban on Fox hunting. For those who don’t know, Fox hunting in Britain is a major pastime and a highly popular activity with the people living in the English countryside. Naturally, the English people who hunted foxes would not put up with the government suppressing their right to hunt, so they stormed into London in protest. My dad, being a missionary to Europe, happened to be doing an outreach in...

Post by former Patriot Academy Lt. Governor Anna Becker: “…December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” On that day, America changed forever. Millions of people would lose their lives over the course of the next few years. Thousands of surviving WWII veterans die every day. If these men had stayed home and neglected their duty, this post would probably be written in German or Japanese. We must...
