In the sometimes bleak and harsh world of homeschooling, we need each other to make it through. So, if you've homeschooled for over 10 years, are new to the game, or are about to toss in the towel, you need to join us. And in case you are a dad and think you're off the hook, you're not! You're needed most of all. We promise that you'll laugh, be encouraged, and be challenged in YOUR distinct role on the Homeschool TEAM.

Many people have the idea that the battle between Christianity and humanism (or creation and evolution) is a battle over ‘facts’. However, it’s not that Christians need more facts than non-Christians to supposedly win the argument, for the real battle is actually over the interpretation of the same facts. Until Christians understand that everyone has the same facts but different interpretations of those facts (based upon different presuppositions or biases), they will not be successful in learning how to defend the Christian faith and think in a true biblical manner. It’s very possible you will never think the same way about this world after attending this workshop!

In the 1500s a Renaissance scholar named Erasmus taught scholars to express themselves in a variety of ways, learning to rewrite, rephrase and reword their original thoughts; this Latin word for this is ‘copia.’ In this workshop, you will play with language in the 21st century to see what happens when you push language around.

When does homeschooling start? Age 1? Age 5? Age 7? There are ways you can prepare your child (and yourself) for the schooling process. Many parents are frightened or overwhelmed by the idea of teaching their own children, but you do not have to be. The first step toward a successful homeschool experience is to figure out how to define ‘successful’. Learn what the Bible has to say about educating children, and how scriptural principles can be put into practice even before kindergarten. Most importantly, tackle your fear of the unknown and the insecurity of what lies ahead. You can do it. It is never too late (or too early) to start, and these starting points will get you going in the right direction from square one.

Learn what really drives the question: ‘What about socialization?’ Also, Israel will provide you with four questions you can ask to determine whether your child’s socialization activities are beneficial to your family. Israel shares candidly from his dual perspectives as a homeschooled student and father.
Rob Rienow
The way we are parenting today impacts our grandchildren and great-grandchildren yet to be born. In this session, Dr. Rienow shares some key Scriptures, from both the Old and New Testament, which will equip you not only to do all in your power to raise your children for the glory of God, but accelerate faithfulness in the future generations of your family.
Dr. Larry Guthrie
In the beginning God said, ‘Let there be Light,’ and He saw that the light was good. Jesus, Himself said, ‘I am the light of the world.’ And, as we are conformed to the image of Christ, we too are called to a light, a light that casts out the darkness. In a very simple object lesson learn how, by the grace of God, to be that light. Appropriate for all ages.
We all left the traditional school because we didn’t like the way they did school, yet there is a lot of pressure to do school the way they do school. And it’s killing us. If you’ve been thinking there has to be a better way… there is, and it’s not called boarding school. Join Todd as he re-examines the reasons behind what we do and why we do it, and burns the bridge between their way and the better way.

A high school transcript is designed to highlight your student’s talents, strengths and skills in the same way a résumé does for a prospective employee. The transcript should present an accurate picture of education and experiences in a way that fits the target audience, whether that is college, a military academy, technical school, art or music school or an apprenticeship program. We’ll look at simple records you need to keep, plus how to assign grades, figure a grade point average, name classes and grant credit. You’ll be sure to leave with a ‘can-do’ feeling.
Wanda Gibert
God has given wives an extraordinary ministry to their husbands. Balancing homeschooling, schedules, meals and caring for little ones often leave wives tired with little energy to give to our husbands. Wanda Gibert, mother of six, will share ways to keep the God-ordained unity and intimacy between husbands and wives.
Most evangelistic programs today—and most missionaries and evangelists—do not see Genesis as a key part in reaching people with the Gospel. In these times, however, an understanding of the history in Genesis (e.g. the origin of sin) is foundational to a full understanding of the Gospel message. Also, realizing how our culture now thinks (and has changed in its thinking) in relation to earth history is a key to know how people should be approached in presenting the Gospel. To reach today’s culture with the Gospel (including America, which has been the greatest Christian nation on earth), Christians need to understand the foundational change that has occurred in the culture—and thus a need to use ‘creation evangelism’ if we’re going to be successful in reaching people with the Gospel (and also its message of Christian morality).
