Perhaps no question is asked more frequently of homeschooling parents than the ever-popular, ‘What about socialization?’ For years we’ve been answering that question . . . the wrong way. In too many cases, we’ve surrendered to the world’s system of values out of fear and intimidation, without even bothering to stop long enough to think about what we’re doing. In this provocative presentation, homeschool graduate Jonathan Lewis will challenge your thinking and invite you to take a critical look at this whole issue of socialization. You’ll come away with a better understanding of how the world thinks about socialization and how we’ve been needlessly surrendering to the world’s value system.

Don’t be shocked if you experience that same kind of humiliation and rejection that Christ experienced as He molds you into a design that also brings great glory to your Creator.
