Thriving in Babylon: Live as a Godly Family in a Pagan Culture
Phillip Telfer
We are inspired by the stories of Daniel in the lion’s den and his three companions in the fiery furnace, but have we given enough thought to the foundation that must have been laid in their lives to help them thrive in Babylon? They were not only captive in a pagan culture but their own people had been sent into exile by God on account of their own unfaithfulness and corruption. What made these young men different along with other great men like Ezra and Nehemiah? This workshop explores this timely theme and how it applies to our present culture.

Keynote – Imitation or Revelation: Go for the Gold
Kirk Smith
Many Christians--even homeschoolers--are seduced into imitating the lies of the culture rather than following God’s ideals as revelated by Scripture. Men like Lot, Esau, and Rehoboam remind us that it's easy to start out at the right place but end up some place we never thought possible, as we attempt to merge our Christian values into a secular culture. As homeschoolers, how do we discern the differences between the two, and if we don't, what are the results?

Bible Study Basics: Study & Teach the Bible at Home
Voddie Baucham Jr.
What good is home education if the Bible is not central to all we do? Moreover, how can we teach the Bible if we don’t know how to interpret it properly? Unfortunately, many homeschool families are simply stuck when it comes to the Bible. Should we just buy a Bible curriculum and be done with it? What about our family devotional time? How do we equip our children to handle the Word for themselves? In this session, we will examine the basics of biblical hermeneutics in a way that is accessible. We will also learn about some key tools that every Bible student needs to have, and a few that can be dangerous if used the wrong way.

Do Something! Engage Life for the Glory of God
Daniel Craig
No matter where we turn, we're facing an epidemic of visionless, clueless, fantasy-driven young people. Stuck in an education system which fosters this disconnect from reality, few millennials – even Christians – are able to successfully bridge the gap into real life. From the perspective of a millennial, Daniel calls students and parents to adopt a new paradigm for his generation in light of God's word. Don't attend this session unless you are ready to be challenged with a new vision for life and an awakened understanding of the responsibilities God calls every young person to fulfill.

Learning to Delight in Your Children
Marilyn Boyer
If you sometimes feel like homeschooling is drudgery, you can bet your kids feel the same way! It's such a temptation to stress over teaching predicate nominatives or the steps of division that we forget to delight in our children and make time to enjoy being with them. In this session, Marilyn shares how she and Rick have found this to actually be the key to instilling values that stick and building in them a heart for things of the Lord.

Keynote – Ambassadors for Christ: Engaging the Culture
Dave Smith
Are you interested in politics and public policy? If not, you represent the majority of people asked the same question! We have been absent, and our absence from the public square has resulted in devastating consequences for families and communities throughout the state and nation. Should we expect to receive God’s blessings of liberty, yet give nothing in return? The Bible is not silent about God’s instruction for cultural engagement. In fact, Christian citizens have a biblical duty to engage the culture around us for the glory of the Lord. Let’s take a look at the lessons we can learn from Scripture about our role in the public square. David will present the biblical basis for it as well as how to incorporate it into our lives and homeschools, regardless of what season of life we’re in.

Harvard or Heaven
Voddie Baucham Jr.
What are you aiming for in the education of your children? Is it the same thing every other person in America is striving to attain? Is being a follower of Christ a determining factor in the goals toward which you educate your children? Does your child absolutely have to have a college degree? If so, is the traditional college route a wise investment of time and money? In this session, we will expose the harsh truth about what Forbes Magazine calls “The Great College Con.” Most Bachelors degrees aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. There are also a host of trades and careers that don’t require going to college. And if your child does end up needing a college degree, there are inexpensive, convenient, safe ways to get it done in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost. This is a session college administrators don’t want you to attend.
