“Every day at ALERT, I learn to depend on Christ more. I’ve learned there is always room to grow, that I don’t have all the answers, and most importantly, that it is my walk with Him that really matters.”
Kenjie S. | Unit 66
“Before I came to the ALERT program, my life was without direction and purpose. I would spend my time working dead-end jobs and playing video games, and occasionally participating in outdoor activities if invited. After going through Basic training, I saw a glimpse of what I could be if I wanted to change. Over my time at ALERT, I have seen God’s grace to me as my faith and reliance on Him grew. I can say for certain that ALERT has changed my life for the better in terms of leadership, discipline, physical strength, and so much more. I will forever be grateful to this program and the men in it.”
Joshua L. | Unit 64
“The unique tensions and challenges that I faced here forced me to rely on God and get out of my comfort zone. It taught me to behave with conviction, think with clarity, and speak with authority. ALERT gave me a valuable perspective about life, God, and people that I never had before.”
Len N. | Unit 61
Forging
🔥 What do you pray when you’re in the middle of a struggle?
The natural reaction is: “God, get me out of here! End this suffering now!” But what if the point is to linger in the struggle while resting on a greater truth?
Daniel Hawley, Executive ALERT Officer, challenges us to step back from our immediate desire for relief and instead choose to wait for the Lord’s timing, trusting in His mercy, His full forgiveness, the character of the covenant-keeping God we serve.
Don’t try to rush the hand of God. Trust the one who holds it all.
You asked for it, so we delivered!
After the first round, we kept the handshake challenge rolling through the battalion. From the guy who will “never leave ALERT” to the “fastest guy” and the “biggest uniform try-hard,” we’re highlighting the unique men being forged here.

Congratulations to the men of Unit 73 on their advancement out of Basic Training!
The 51 men who finished Unit 73 have joined the brotherhood of all the men who have gone before them and are now part of the ALERT Battalion. As a symbol of their advancement out of Basic Training, the men are issued the ALERT patch for their uniforms and may additionally receive a promotion to the rank of Responder. They are now also able to wear the ALERT t-shirt and their unit t-shirt.
As the men head home for furlough, please join us in praying for their continued spiritual growth and discipline, as well as for rest and physical recovery after the rigors of Basic Training. We look forward to seeing them back on January 10 for the start of 2nd Phase.

🚨 Every boy needs a clear path to manhood. We provide it. 🚨
Every great society, throughout every point in history, has struggled with the same question: How do we help our young boys become men?
When this question goes unanswered, the culture suffers. At ALERT, we’re committed to providing the path. Our program is designed to be the catalyst for that crucial transition—building discipline, character, and a heart dedicated to service.
From boys to extraordinary men, equipped to serve and lead for Christ. This is why we exist.

Find Your Purpose. Become a Man.
A timeless challege from Charlie Kirk: If your only goal is to “feel good,” you’re setting yourself up for misery. Purpose is what brings true meaning, not fleeting pleasure.
It takes no skill to chase what feels easy. But it takes a real man to say NO to his flesh and pursue what is truly good.
➡️ Come to ALERT Academy to find your purpose and learn what it means to be a mature, purposeful man.
