It is essential that parents learn to help their children navigate the bewildering intersections of culture and values. It can be difficult to diagnose what causes wrong turns; too often our attempts to parent wisely are based on inaccurate presuppositions. Join Daniel Schwabauer for a revealing look at the nature of American culture and how it affects generational change.

We teach our children from a biblical worldview. So, why are so many children from Christian homes abandoning the Bible, the church, and ultimately the faith? In this talk, we discuss the cognitive process of how this divorce between biblical worldview instruction and biblical faithfulness happens. Then we discuss steps that will help develop our children's sense of certainty, value of truth, and individual responsibility found in the Law and the Gospel.

For a blink of history, government schools have experimented with institutional "grading" and embedded it into our culture as "essential" for learning. Yet, for thousands of years, educators have used other methods to evaluate learning that are more individualized and effective than testing and letter grades. Find out more about assessment options, fit, and appropriate use of a broader range of tools. Dr. Dikkers will provide context, examples, and cognitive science to support your move to "project" and "conversational" assessments so you can confidently recognize and document your child's learning.

For the history lovers, this session will review 150 years of government schooling in America against the backdrop of freedom keeping Christian education. We'll review key legislation, key thought leaders, and the motivation, design, and intentions of education leaders. We'll answer questions like "What were government schools designed for?", "Where did they go so wrong?", "How might the system itself be contributing to the dumbing down of learning?", and clarify how powerfully different home discipleship is in contrast.

How can your daily interactions and homeschool lessons shape your child's worldview? Your child's behavior, beliefs, knowledge about God, and the subjects you teach are all intertwined. Let's discuss where to begin to make a meaningful impact.

Today, we are raising the sickest generation of kids to ever walk the earth. So many of you work hard to protect the health of your family, but if you leave your kids to get their knowledge about health from Big Pharma, your children will undoubtedly get a message of unhealth. As parents, we must pass on the vital knowledge of true health and wellness to our kids. In this workshop, we will talk about how parents can help grow generations of health by intentionally teaching principles of health and homeopathy to their children. And if you're new to the wonderful world of holistic health and homeopathy, you can learn right alongside your kids. We need to know what questions to ask our doctors, how to read drug labels, how to think through healthy choices, what to say "yes" to, and what to say "no" to. And when our bodies may get stuck and need support, that's where education about homeopathic medicine - a wonderful, nontoxic form of holistic and natural healing - can take your family to new levels of incredible wellness.

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?
