Transmission from Lightglider Academy
Hi there, Lightglider! I just got back from the Yonders and was talking with Santiago in the courtyard about the Lightglider values -- why we do what we do! When I’m in Timberlands Treetops, clearing blight and battling Machines, it’s important for me to remember the values I want to live by. The five values of a Lightglider are purpose, humility, confidence, hope, and love. I want these values to affect how I think, how I act, and how I behave. They are especially important to remember in times of uncertainty and pressure, like when I’m battling a Clampneck Machine in the Yonders! I’m excited for us to talk about these values over the coming weeks.
Glide On!

Scripture
“A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.” - Matthew 7:17 (NLT)
Five Values
Values are defined as principles upon which we build our lives. They help guide our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors. Most every family, community, and culture lives by a set of values.
Lightgliders seek to live with five values: purpose, humility, confidence, hope, and love. And these values are supported by a biblical worldview:
- Purpose: Because God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27), our lives matter. They have purpose.
- Humility: No one is perfect; we all fall short of God’s moral standard of goodness (Romans 3:23). A deep understanding of this produces a life of humility.
- Confidence: Knowing that God loves us and that Jesus paid for our sins at the cross despite our shortcomings generates a strong sense of confidence (Ephesians 2:8-10). We are greatly loved by the only One who matters!
- Hope: Because the future is in God’s hands and He promises to restore the brokenness, we can always look to the future with hope believing good things are coming. When we live with hope, we give hope to others (Romans 15:13).
- Love: With Jesus as our example, we seek to love. Such love is not a feeling. It is a choice that inspires action by putting the needs of others before our own (John 15:13).
Just like a good seed properly nourished helps to produce a beautiful tree, good values help to produce beautiful lives.
