Help For Troubled Parents
Troubled parents have a reason to be troubled, today. The entire culture has allied itself with the teen mentality. It began with the baby boomers—a generation who never grew up. This is largely because their depression-era parents didn’t want their little “Throckmortons” to have to go through what they went through—unfortunately, this [...]

Georgia Troubled Teen Boarding School
If you are looking for a Georgia troubled teen boarding school, Shepherd’s Hill Academy at Shepherd’s Hill Farm is staffed with men and women that the Old Testament would call the Sons of Issachar. The sons of Issachar were men who understood the times and knew what to do. There aren’t [...]

Some have called Shepherd’s Hill Farm a Christian counseling boarding school. It’s actually a cross between a therapeutic wilderness program and a Christian counseling boarding school. There is an incredible advantage to these kids building, maintaining, and living in their own self-made communities in the woods. Troubled teens are often troubled teens because they have [...]

Because of my burden for America, my prayer for Shepherd’s Hill Farm as a Christian wilderness program for troubled youth, from the beginning, was that God would give us a ministry that would impact, not just our community, but, in some way, the entire nation—perhaps the world.

In general, there are some areas that hurting parents grossly under-estimate as being significant in nurturing an emotionally, behaviorally, psychologically, and spiritually sound teenager–things that may keep an at-risk teen out of a residential program for troubled teens.
1. Having a biblical worldview cannot be over emphasized.

Shortly before each kid leaves SHF, I get the privilege of having dinner with them at a local restaurant to discuss their year at SHF. I get feedback as to how we can make SHF a better program for troubled teens and offer them helpful tips on how they can succeed after graduation and limit the struggles that [...]

The following entry is taken from one of the SHF newsletters about a year or so ago. I just thought it would be pertinent to some of the issues we have been dealing with here again lately. The subject never seems to go away. Sometimes society, and even the church, can’t see the forest for [...]
