Many new homeschoolers panic at the thought of teaching their children to read. They cannot remember how they learned to read—it just happened. Or, perhaps, reading was always a struggle and they are worried that only a ‘professional’ can properly do the job. This workshop is filled with practical, encouraging advice and strategies for teaching this very important subject.
Dr. Larry Guthrie
In the beginning, Adam and Eve walked with God and were not ashamed. However, Satan separated Adam and Eve from the presence of God by tempting them with the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. When they yielded to temptation, sin entered, they hid themselves from God and attempted to cover their shame with the works of their own hands. We too are born separated from God and find that the works of our hands cannot restore the broken relationship. Listen as Dr. Guthrie illustrates Satan’s pattern of temptation with three adventure stories and then watch as he illustrates God’s plan for restoration with a memorable object lesson. This session will focus on temptation, sin and restoration. Appropriate for all ages.

This study from the lives of Manasseh and Josiah will inspire fathers and grandfathers – that no matter what kind of family they came from, or what kind of father they have been up to this point, that the grace and mercy of God has the power to forgive any sin – and that through humility and repentance God can use us to change the spiritual trajectory of our families for generations to come.

College used to be only for high-level students planning to enter one of the professions, but over the past century or so, it’s been transformed into a seemingly necessary stop on the way to almost any career. Join me to explore reasons for this as well as college alternatives and nontraditional college options, plus ways to discover which path might be best for your student. College may indeed be the right choice, but it pays to know your options.

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.
Do you know where the theory of peer group socialization originated? 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.
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.
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.
