OUT OF THE HEART SERIES
BOYS ACADEMY FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
LUKE 6:45
It began with a question.
We asked the parents we serve a simple thing: of all you hope for your son, what is the one skill you most want to see take root in him? The answers rarely varied. Two words surfaced again and again — communication and confidence.
Out of the Heart is our answer to that longing. It is built for boys ages 11–17, in the years when a young man is just beginning to discover who he is and whether his voice is worth trusting.
Communication and confidence.
WHAT PARENTS NAMED, AGAIN AND AGAIN
THE METHOD BEHIND IT
Consume · Process · Produce
The series is shaped by the same cycle that grounds everything we do — the way a person takes in the world, makes meaning of it, and gives something back. Across three Saturdays, a young man moves through all three.
CONSUME · SESSION ONE
Know Thyself
He looks inward first — naming who he is and what he believes. Because what fills the heart is what comes out of the mouth.
Consume deeply. Process honestly. Produce courageously.
PROCESS · SESSION TWO
The Art of Communication
He learns to order his thoughts, listen well, and speak with clarity over noise and conviction over timidity.
PRODUCE · SESSION THREE
The Voice You're Becoming
He names the future he is growing toward — then stands and delivers it before the room. Confidence, made visible.
Three Saturdays. One Voice Becoming.
