Are you or your teens looking for some extra cash? Want to get some great experience with work and finances? Then entrepreneurship may be for you! Come learn the ins and outs of home business formation, growth, and management from the ground up. Whether you’re looking to build your product, service, ministry, or web-based enterprise, you will find great ideas, resources, and scriptural principles to help you on your way.

Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Will I ever be good enough? These are the questions we ask ourselves as we compare our weakness with someone else’s strength. In a social media age it is very easy to become discontent and stuck in the trap of comparison. It is also easy to become discouraged when we look to others for approval or with envy instead at looking to God and the purpose He has for us. We were each created for a purpose and given the exact circumstances that our uniquely ours. Learn to embrace who you are and where God has you!

Tyler Hogan graduated homeschool and went to college when he was 16. During his college and young adult years, he made some really stupid mistakes (and stumbled onto a few things that worked out really well).

As a thirteen-year-old homeschooler, Hope started writing her first historical fiction book. It was published in Spring of 2012 as the first of a four part series, and she now has a second book and a radio drama released to the world! She knows that the process from concept to publishing can be overwhelming, especially for a young, first-time author writing for God’s glory. She is here to inspire and encourage other homeschoolers who are starting their own writing journeys. She has made the talk enjoyable and beneficial to aspiring writers, parents of aspiring writers, parents of struggling writers, or anyone who likes writing in general.

One thing is for sure, if you have homeschooled for more than a week, people everywhere will question you about it—from grandparents and neighbors to pastors and friends to grocery store clerks and legislators. You need to be able to articulate the apologetics of homeschooling and answer questions that come from those who know you, from curious by-standers, and from those who are hostile toward homeschooling. Do you know why your parents have chosen to homeschool you? Do you know the advantages of being given a custom-designed, tailor-made education? Do you know the spiritual, emotional, and social benefits of being homeschooled? We will have fun learning how to answer these questions, as well as others that people love to ask you when they can get you away from your parents: Do you really like homeschooling? What do you think you’re missing in life? What have you been studying lately? When it comes right down to it, you will probably be called upon more frequently than your parents to make the case for homeschooling. Come and learn how to do it well.

As a teen in high school and then a college-aged person, Hope struggled with finding God’s plan for her life. She wants to provide help and encouragement to those who are trying to figure out careers and a life purpose while still homeschooling and living at home, and ultimately point them to Christ so that they discover His plan for their lives

How do we acquire and nurture in our children a God-honoring worldview that strengthens joy, comfort, and faith in God and Scripture, even while exposing the unreasonable blind faith of unbelief? It’s much easier than you think if you start in the right place. God is the infinitely excellent creator and sustainer of all things, apart from whom we have nothing, including life, knowledge, truth, authority, and moral absolutes, on whom we depend for everything, to whom we owe all things. God, then, constitutes the proper starting place for a proper worldview. You will be surprised how many mysterious and confusing threads fall into place in the marvelous tapestry of God’s work and purpose when we begin with the source and explanation of all things. Indeed, apart from God as their source and sustainer, life and all things reduce to an impossible and pointless absurdity.

This workshop will explain what skills colleges and employers expect and give you a game plan for mastering them.

Paul Revere, aptly portrayed by Philip Jacobson, will speak to the audience not only of his famous midnight ride but his life as a silversmith, husband, father and patriot for the freedom he and so many other men and women lived and died for. While remembered most for that ride into Lexington, Paul was instrumental in much more of America’s history. Paul will share candidly, engaging the audience with the true story of how he and a group of shopkeepers and artisans who called themselves The Loyal Nine came to be known as the Sons of Liberty.
