Are we allowing secularism to creep into the homeschool? Are we allowing worldly standards to establish our definitions of success? Have we clarified the differences between a man-centered education and a God-centered education enough? Kevin Swanson gets back to the basics on a biblical worldview in this presentation.

Don’t miss the essentials! These are the most crucial and the most basic, age-old, biblical principles for the education of a child. Faith and character are preeminent. The principle of individuality is the most liberating principle. Relationships lie at the heart of it. Life integration turns knowledge into an extremely useful and powerful tool for success. But how many of these elements are missed by conventional systems of learning and by many homeschools as well? These are the basics, coming from Kevin Swanson’s 53 years of experience in the movement, and his book, Upgrade: The Ten Secrets to the Best Education for Your Child.

As the author of six books on world history, American history, missions history, and the history of Christian liberties, Kevin Swanson shows how a Christian view of history is so very different from an evolutionary, materialistic and humanistic view that is taught in schools today. Most of the Bible is history. Jesus appears in history. The Gospel is a historical event. If you are passing on the faith to your children, this will be a critical element of it. It is essential that we pass on the “mighty acts of God” as recorded in history — and see them as just that — the mighty acts of God.
