Faith, family, and freedoms have faded in Europe and the Americas. But God gives us a tremendous opportunity now—building islands of freedom and culture unlike anything we’ve seen! He appears to use homeschooling as a catalyst for good things. How can your family plant fruitful beautiful gardens at such a time as this? How does the gospel of Jesus Christ advance in our homes?

If Christian parents bring their children up “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord,” what does it look like? How would Jesus do it? What if our children were with Jesus? Would they be like the Greeks and Romans, or would they be very different? Jesus focuses on faith and life, relationships and the heart, and the Word of God. Find what matters most in educating your child.

Here is a challenge to fatherhood. How do we avoid the traps of apathy and anger? Fatherhood is a test of our faith and love, but also, the means by which we grow in these areas. Here Kevin speaks to the great need of the day—fathers!

As a father of a son, and a mentor of twenty other young men over the last sixteen years, Kevin shares about the unique challenges of raising sons and introducing them to manhood. He addresses what God wants for our boys as revealed in his Word.

This session is from Kickstart: Launch Your Life, courtesy of Daniel Craig. Read the following description of the Kickstart program! “What am I going to do with Johnny?” When 36% of college graduates show no cognitive gains after four years of study, and only 51% can find full-time employment after exiting a higher education system with an average price-tag of $72K (public) to $140K (private), it’s impossible to deny that the college paradigm has failed us. How then are we to prepare our young people for their God-given calling so that they’re able to successfully engage the marketplace in a difficult economy? Though man’s education systems are declining, God’s program of relationship-based, character-focused, and life-integrated education has never been more effective. Mentorship prepared 12 men who change the world 2,000 years ago, and it’s still the most powerful method for launching young men and young women into life today. And that’s why we’re excited to announce the release of Kickstart–your student’s step-by-step guide to launching their life with clear vision, through powerful mentoring relationships and real-life application. Designed for young men and women, ages 15+, this breakthrough self-study program. This program is also great as a study with parents. This session focuses on the following: - What Is Wrong with Us? - Vision: Where It Comes From - Vision – What It’s Not - The Kingdom of God - Seeking God vs. Seeking You - Vision: What Is Yours?

Teaching literature is not for the faint of heart, or for those who are easily taken by bad worldviews. Many of our homeschooled children like to read and may become great leaders unless they are corrupted by wrong worldviews. As the developer of the Christian Curriculum Project, Kevin invites parents and students to discernment on both content and method of great literary works.

Young people are less prepared for life, family, and work than they ever have been. Yet, the revival of mentorship and discipleship has been a saving grace. There is nothing better for spiritual and economic preparation for the marketplace. With twelve years of experience in mentoring, Kevin shares about leveraging a work opportunity into a mentorship and what makes mentorship so successful.

How does a family interact with popular culture? Popular culture is everywhere. It influences peer groups and sets worldview and cultural perspectives of almost everybody. Very few have wisdom and strength to swim against the stream. So, how does a family make its cultural choices? What part should entertainment play in the home? What are major biblical principles for discernment of music, movies, tattoos, dress, etc.?

Kevin obtained his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering but would be first to tell you he didn’t like science very much (as taught in secular college). He has a passion for making mathematics and science meaningful to children by bringing it back into a God-centered view. Why do we study science? And how can we make it 10,000 times more thrilling for our children than the average teacher? It can be done!

This time can be the most rewarding of your parenting journey
