Faith, family, and freedoms have faded in Europe and the Americas. But God has given us a tremendous opportunity now — islands of freedom and culture unlike anything we’ve seen. He appears to be using 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 breakthrough in our homes?

In this workshop, Dr. Vaughn will break down the toxicities found in our food supply, personal care products, electromagnetic (EMF) exposure, and our environment in general. These toxins are getting into our children (and us!) and are affecting growth, motor skill development, brain function and overall health. In a man-made toxic world, how do we make wise choices and live the way God originally designed us to live? What practical steps can we make to choose God’s creation over the man-made things of this world? Dr. Vaughn will also show the link between toxin exposure and the dramatic increase in chronic disease plaguing our children today. Find out how we can stop it and reverse it!

Resistance in a child can take various forms— it can look like laziness, lack of motivation, or outright refusal. This workshop is your guide to investigation, revealing the intricate layers behind why kids don't work to their potential. Together, we'll decipher this red flag, explore its implications and, more importantly, learn how to pinpoint the specific support your child needs. Gain valuable insights into securing the buy-in both you and your child crave. Join me on this transformative journey, where we delve into the complexities of understanding and addressing resistance. Learn to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and collaboration, paving the way for a more hopeful, connected relationship and resolving the problem for good.

Parents, I know you want to raise sons who live with honor, but our society continues to strip away opportunities for our children to do honorable things. Here's the great news...you can make sure that you are creating opportunities for your children to practice living with honor, but it requires parenting with purpose. What happens when our sons learn to live with honor? They: Grow in self-confidence and self-worth. Have endless doors of opportunity opened to them. Build healthier and happier relationships. Set the foundation of becoming devoted fathers and husbands. Come and listen to master motivator Monica Irvine, give important lessons for teaching your sons the skills of honor through small simple acts of generosity. It truly can change their lives and yours as well. You don't want to miss this!

Come and Learn How to Give Your Daughters what is Becoming a Rare Commodity...Honor. Imag- ine what it feels like to watch your daughter continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of her life, because she knows she has endless potential and great responsibility. She matures with a desire to be a voice for good and a contributor in making our world a better place. She seems fearless, yet uses great wisdom. She is courageous, yet humble. She is KIND. You watch her as she exercises true empathy for those in need and although she holds herself to high standards, she never places herself above others. She has been taught by example of what a true lady is and she looks forward to one day being that example for her family. She is truly a lady. Parents, this Master Class will help you understand how to create the example your daughter needs to become this lady. You don't want to miss this.

No one wants to admit it, but most every parent has that moment (or moments) where they're having a difficult time liking their child. It usually has something to do with the destruction of your personal property, or a recurring character flaw (like dishonesty), or the fact that you both have personality traits that are uncomfortably similar. Whatever the cause, left unchecked these feelings can grow into something much stronger than mere "dislike". In this talk we'll explore the root cause of these feelings and offer some practical advice to help you avoid the situations that bring them about.

It's easy to recognize how valuable play is to our children. They love it! It is not so easy to convince ourselves that play has a variety of long term benefits and that play is actually learning. It is arguably the most pure form of learning we have. Dr. Dikkers will walk us through an overview of the physical, developmental, social, and academic benefits of non-directed outdoor play time.

"When Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy." So how can you keep Mommy happy? By making sure that her needs are met! What are those needs and how can she take the time to meet those needs without feeling guilty or leaving something else undone? Dara will teach the five stages of burn-out and the solution to overcoming burn-out while giving helpful ideas to meet the needs of Mom so that she is filled up and able to meet the needs of her family.
