A tranquil drive deep into the Northwoods may lead you to
HoneyRock, if you have a decent sense of direction, or a handy GPS. Once your tires meet the freshly paved road,
you begin to relax and unwind because you are away from the world in a place
apart.
HoneyRock is a unique atmosphere because it is removed from
the fast-paced speed of today’s world.
Students and guests have the opportunity to grow into relationships with
other believers as they share meals, engage in outdoor activities, and live
together in close community.
Conversation at HoneyRock is very intentional, and
relationships are built on a foundation of trust and intimacy. Relationships at HoneyRock are real because
the peaceful environment allows students to focus first and foremost on God,
rather than the distractions of the “real world.”
Here at HoneyRock, we try to minimize the use of technology
in order to better focus our energy and time on being relational people. Sometimes fingertip technology creates a
false urgency in our lives, and being free from this urgency allows us to more
freely experience what is essential in life.
Being “a place apart” also eliminates pressures of pop
culture that we often find burdensome.
At HoneyRock, we are not surrounded by the lies of the media telling us
we must look a certain way to feel satisfied about ourselves, nor are we
confronted with dramatic details of the outside world which may cause us to
look sight of truth.
This environment allows Scripture to take precedence in our
daily lives and allows us to explore truth without the confusion of so many
untruths. We are able to immerse
ourselves in God’s Word while communing with believers who are doing the
same. Because we are a place apart from
the world, we can better view God’s definition of community and worship because
we are existing in a community intent on pursuing and worshipping the Almighty
God.
