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?

This is pure encouragement from the Word of God. Every mom in the trenches needs spiritual encouragement to keep going. How do we stay encouraged? How do we as husbands and wives encourage each other when we face the heat of trial? As those who have been in the cauldron themselves, Kevin and Brenda Swanson can encourage you here.

I know you have felt the pain of regret when you have had a moment of failure when disciplining your children. I know many of you are fighting against habits you learned from your parents that you swore you would never do. I know you want to parent with love, honor and respect—but sometimes, you don’t.

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!

Young people raised in Christian homes and churches are choosing to walk away from the faith in dismal numbers. Why? You will learn what research shows are the causes and what you can do to minimize this becoming your family's story. While there are no perfect-kid formulas, there are profound ways you can influence your children's decisions in adulthood. Not just for parents of teens, this positive message will benefit moms and dads with children of all ages.

Single parents face many challenges. Single parents who homeschool face yet another set of challenges. Is it possible to be successful at this task without a spouse in the picture? Maureen Werner answers a resounding YES to that question. Both have found God to be a Source of great strength, guidance, and wisdom, and though their stories are very different, they both testify to having experienced His goodness and care all along the way. In this session, you’ll hear more about their families, their schedules, their lessons learned, as well as some tips and tricks they implement for making this all-important aspect of their family life work.

If you've ever thought "There aren't enough hours in a day," concerning managing life as a homeschool mom, this workshop is for you. Managing meal planning, chores, routines, housework, schedules, lesson plans and schoolwork can prove a daunting task. Come hear from a homeschool mom who has regularly been host to a laundry pile taller than her dryer. This session aims to provide helpful and practical tips for managing every area of homeschool life and thoughts on how to train our children to help us. We can't make more hours, but we can help you manage the mess a little more easily.

Uncover the secrets of seamlessly managing a diverse homeschooling environment, which includes toddlers exploring their world and teens focusing on advanced subjects. Come for ideas and activities to engage those young learners as well as your older students. We will delve into time management techniques, resource organization, and practical tips for orchestrating a harmonious educational experience for all.

As homeschool parents, we minister to children in many ways, both inside and outside the Christian family and our churches. Homeschool parents have exciting positions that allow them to evangelize and disciple their children at home. What a privilege we have to be entrusted with such a task! How can we take it further to the community and the world? How can we model the Great Commission and involve our children as we do it? Can you be a homeschool parent and a child evangelist in your area? Not only is it possible, but your homeschoolers can be a part of this Inside-Outside ministry of evangelism. Let Child Evangelism Fellowship show you their time-tested (since 1937) effective methods.
