Life Transforming Events (LTE) usually take place over a weekend and will stretch and grow you spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. These events will teach you how to work as a team, as an individual, and most importantly, to depend on God. From these events you will learn lessons that you can take with you for the rest of your life. Watch the videos in Orange.

Gauntlet

The first week of the internship lays a foundation upon which you will build the entire year. Gauntlet is filled with opportunities for you to challenge and evaluate yourself as you experience the beginnings of a very exciting year. Beyond training and orientation, Gauntlet provides the foundation for the spiritual growth and development that will take place in you at the Honor Academy.
