Peace in the Family
Thursday March 20, 2025 10:30am - 11:20am EDT
“He never talks to me.” “My teens are so disrespectful.” “I have no idea what she’s thinking.” “They’re so ugly to each other.” “I wish we could just talk.” We hear these things all the time from families. It’s easy to get into a cycle of communicating badly with each other, but it doesn’t have to be that way! The Word of God gives us a lot of really practical advice about communicating with one another, but it’s hard to know what that looks like in real life. Come learn how to turn that advice into action, change your family culture for the better, improve your relationships, and laugh a little, too.

Living Out Your Faith in a Culture That (Sometimes) Hates You
Thursday March 20, 2025 10:30am - 11:20am EDT
Jesus brought some hard truths to the 1st century culture when He walked the earth for 33 years. Some people loved him while others hated him and wanted him dead. Some things never change. America is becoming increasingly secular and anti-Christian attitudes and behaviors are gaining ground. Homeschooling brings with it an unhealthy stigma along with a unique set of challenges. Welcome to life as a Christ follower. So, how do you live it out successfully? How do you relate to and interact with outsiders? How do you handle relationships with the LGBTQ people in your life? How do you stand strong in the faith despite opposition, rejection, and outright hatred?

Could you explain where the water for a world-wide flood would have come from, & where it all went afterward?! Many Christians can’t. Understanding the flood (the purpose, causes, aftermath and evidence) is very important to an understanding of a biblically sound creation model. This session covers the basics of this event, and also includes a video & PowerPoint presentation of the “Hydroplate Theory” - a biblically accurate and scientifically feasible portrayal of the flood event.

Most of homeschooling is focused on the children. Naturally, that makes sense. They have so many needs and parents want to provide them with a solid education and create a wonderful childhood.

Instead of just pushing through yet another school year with a focus on "someday," what if you lean in and use this time to become who God wants you to be?

You may not crack open a book, work through a curriculum, or call it school, but it's your job to train your children. Join me as we look at the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of training our children. Now don't worry, I won't make you feel guilty or give you a forty-six point outline, but I promise to tell it straight and to encourage you in the best job there is - fathering.
