Join Blessed Heritage Educational Resources owner Belinda Bullard for Trusted with Trouble

This may seem like an odd topic for the time of year when many are enthusiastic about getting started for a new year, but I want to speak to the hearts of women that there are seasons in the homeschooling journey. Not every season is spring, and the delay in seeing what we’re believing God to do in our home environments does not mean that we are being denied. Mine is a word of encouragement to assure those listening that the trials we endure in our journey really are about growth and development of us and our children, and when we look on them in a different light, they really are all joy.

Join Tumblon.com founder Graham Scharf for Seeing and Being – Your role in shaping the lens through which your child sees the world.

During the earliest years of life, children learn from their parents how to see the world. These most basic assumptions that they develop become the lenses through which they see all of life. How can parents intentionally nurture their children during the first five years to help them perceive and love what is good, and true and beautiful? How can parents communicate a God-entranced vision of all things and be patient and prayerful in allowing the Holy Spirit to bring conversion and new life? These are the questions we will tackle together!

Join Foundations: Homeschooling Bible Curriculum author Anne Elliot for Using the Bible As Your Primary Textbook

We know that God’s Word says we are to impress His commands on our children by talking about them when we sit, walk, lie down and get up (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). That’s all the time! What better tool can we have than homeschooling — but how often our good intentions are sidetracked by “necessities” like school, chores, and schedules. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could use the Bible as our primary textbook so that all our conversations and actions centered around God’s Word? In this session, we’ll try to make this practical. We’ll talk about how to use the Bible for all subjects, including reading, grammar, math, history, science, and everything in between. We’ll also talk about how to apply the Bible with our children in every hour of the day.

Join Captive Dreams author Cara Putman for Developing Leadership In Your Teens

Attend this session and leave with some concrete examples of young people God used to do mighty things for Him and a vision for your child/student.
