Mentor: Aaron Sherbondy
Aaron is a graduate of the United States Military Academy and served over 25 years in various leadership roles across the military and law enforcement communities. He is also a graduate of numerous military and law enforcement schools, and is privileged to have worked alongside the some of the finest men and women in the U.S. and around the world.
He hopes to provide the young men and women at RMH a chance to reflect on who they are as sons and daughters of the King, and then how to apply that identity daily to their roles as spouses, parents, officers, and after the military.
Co-Mentor: CAPT Robert (Buzz) Buzzell, USN (Ret.)
Buzz joined the USAF at 20 years of age, transferred to the US Navy to fly and finished career as a military diplomat in Europe 34 years later. Most memorable events – the 3rd American to finish the Swedish Classic (56 miles cross country ski, 3-mile river swim, 19-mile trail run, 200-mile bike), 100 mile 4-day march in the Netherlands, 1,000-mile bike ride across France in 7 days. It’s not the events that are memorable but the people and culture that surround those events. As a RMH mentor he wants to give a glimpse that life is not easy, challenges of all forms will arise, but with our Lord and Savior as the focus we can deal with all challenges through Him. No dream is too high, nor obstacle to difficult, but humbly taking one step at a time anything is possible.

Summer Celebration #8 (Medical Week)
2025-07-27 - 2025-08-03
Speaker: Lt Col Del Tackett, USAF (Ret.)
Dr. Tackett served over twenty years on active duty in the United States Air Force, including four years on the faculty of Air University and as Deputy Commander of the 47th Communications Group supporting the multinational NORAD command. He also served on the White House staff during the George H. W. Bush Administration, and as Director of Technical Planning for the National Security Council. He served as Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family and President of Focus on the Family Institute in Colorado Springs, CO. He Dr. Tackett developed and is the speaker of the Truth Project. He lectures extensively on developing a Christian world view and America’s Christian heritage for Summit Ministries and at conferences and churches around the country.
While Del was working in national security at the White House under US President George H. W. Bush, the Lord began breaking his heart for the state of the nation and the church. He was burdened that so many believers had lost their biblical worldview—they weren’t looking at the world around them through the lens of Scripture.
After leaving the White House, Del helped start a seminary where the founders hoped to begin addressing these shortcomings. To systematically teach a biblical worldview, Del compiled a comprehensive curriculum that became the basis for the Truth Project, a DVD curriculum distributed by Focus on the Family.
Topic: “The Engagement Project”
In the Engagement Project, Dr. Tackett answers two important questions, Why did Jesus leave? and Why does God send? The answers to these questions may turn your world right-side up. In this new series, Dr. Del Tackett takes us on a series of worldview tours that reveal God’s endgame for all of us… what He is after. You’ll discover God’s world-changing mission for yourself and for your family and that Jesus has told us exactly what He wants us to do. In the Engagement Project, you’ll learn why & how this will change everything.

Topic: “One Thing: King David’s Life and Leadership”
Shepherd, Son, Songwriter, and Servant. Warrior and King. Absent Father. Adulterer and Murderer. Man after God’s Own Heart. David is one of the most complex, enigmatic, frustrating, and inspiring characters in the entire Bible. Yet despite his failings, Scripture presents David as the ideal leader and king. David’s story attests that all of life is an interaction with God. His purpose and priorities can equip us to live well – as military leaders and beyond: “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…” (Psalm 27:4)

Topic: “The Full Armor of God: Ephesians 6:10-18”
At the end of his letter to the Ephesians, Paul makes one final charge to the church “Be strong in the Lord,” and “put on the full armor of God,” reminding the church not to battle mankind, instead focusing our effort “against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” What does that look like in application? What does the Bible teach us about wearing the full armor of God? Come rest in the Word of God and let Him prepare you for the spiritual battles you are facing and the ones that are bound to come, so that (in Paul’s words) “and having done everything, to stand firm.”

Topic: “As A Christian Officer, What’s the Highest Rank You Should Hope to Achieve?”
In life, in the work world, we are faced daily with striving to be #1. This is especially true of the military’s “up-or-out” promotion system. The Bible tells us to have the same attitude as Christ in all things. What is that attitude and how do we integrate it into our life to become the Christ-like leaders he calls us to be?

Topic: “You’ve Got A Friend: A Study in Biblical Friendship”
Life’s hardest moments, even if they may seem impossible to overcome at the time, are not devoid of purpose. They are profound opportunities for spiritual growth and a renewed awareness of God’s faithfulness to those who trust in Him. However, we can quickly feel isolated without having faithful friends to come along beside us during difficult times. That’s why God’s Word encourages us to embrace covenant friendships.
Session 1: The Friendship Factor
Session 2: Finding a Faithful Friend
Session 3: A Friend Helps You Fight Loneliness

Topic: “Designed for Discipleship”
Our study will consider the design of discipleship beginning with the significance of Jesus words to his own disciples, “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” The disciples were holding tightly to a cultural faith that was fractured and fading away when Jesus entered their lives with new and unsettling questions. If the old temple design was to fall away, what new tools would the disciples need to build a living temple stone by stone? Our daily discussions will explore how Jesus uses elements of vision, pressure, testing and sacrificial love as the discipleship tools to build His church.

Speaker: LTC & Mrs. Joel Eberly, ARNG (Ret.)
After doing some really cool stuff in the Army, Joel decided to return home for college and had a 10 year successful career in the corporate world while serving in the Army National Guard part-time. Joel felt the calling to volunteer for an active duty deployment after 9-11 and stayed active until he retired at 31 total years (Legion of Merit, Bronze Star,…).
Joel has been mentioned in articles and a book, on the news several times and radio, the featured speaker or contributing presenter at numerous events, published articles, founded and led an activity group for special needs kids in the Raleigh area, volunteered in high school as a soccer coach, volunteered with numerous non-profits through the years beginning in college, is a former WMD advisor for 2 state committees – worked with Secret Service/FBI at Super Bowls and Presidential events as Commander of a special Army unit, has a Master’s Degree, started an annual 200 mile bike ride to help wounded troops/military kids,… and started numerous other events through the years. Joel is/was on the council of a non-profit, board member of another, former President of another, speaks weekly at 2 drug/alcohol addiction centers and cooks a pig for them monthly, started 7 Bible studies,… and is constantly helping people behind the scenes. Those around him truly can’t keep up with all he has done and still does that people have no clue about – people drop in/text/email/call him for encouragement/advice often.
He loves making others laugh (at his expense and doesn’t care much about what people think of him), can fix about anything, hangs out with all types of people, is an avid outdoorsman (takes people fishing and hunting), loves to play (not watch) sports, and is crazy (rode bulls in the rodeo and illegally jumped solo out of civilian planes with no formal training/certification). He reminds people he has made a ton of mistakes and still does-says he is not special and thinks he does not do enough for others but I say he is a one of a kind.
Author of The Three Hardest Things In Life (Amazon)
Topic: “The Three Hardest Things In Life”

Part 1 – Most people think they are a good person, even if not religious, but are you? Also, should we settle for being average or try to be great at a few things? Who defines “good person or good Christian” and why is it so hard?
Part 2 – People in relationships/marriage for a long while will tell you that it is tough to always call it “great” and some will even sadly say it was often bad. We will share deep tips from each other and of course, the Bible.
Part 3 – Any idiot can have kids and put in little effort to raise them to the point where they can take care of themselves – the third hardest thing in life is to raise them right. How do you define “right”?

If you are not married or don’t have kids, you will still enjoy those parts of the presentation because the information can be used to help others (God may bring you a soulmate, you may be an aunt/mentor/…). Also, sadly all of us adults need a refresher in the various topics.

Topic: “Committed to Christ: Peter’s Transformation from Fisherman to Church Father”
Like Peter, God’s plan for our life often expands the vision and scope of our own faith journey. Together we will reflect on key points in Peter’s life that transformed the way he followed Christ and served others.
The life and ministry of Peter and the comparisons of his journey and our journey of calling; service with challenges and sacrifice; blessings of seeing lives changed; and being refined and changed ourselves. Peter lived in a period of unprecedented change, globalization, and political turmoil. He was called to be a key leader in serving as one of the 12 disciples of Christ and in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and establishing His Church. We serve in a time that has many similarities to Peter’s and we are charged to continue the legacy of his service with our own. Through this week, we will journey together to explore key wave points Peter’s journey and to consider our own.
