The Chip and The Guacamole—Teaching Subjects vs. Making a Lasting Impact.

Thursday March 20, 2025 1:40pm - 2:30pm EDT

Gem City

I often tell my Noble U students that I am playing on 4 different levels in every class: Yes, they are being taught important material with respect to the subject matter, but I am also seeking to disciple them where they are at in their faith journey; build a biblical worldview into their thinking; and to help them respond to the subject and the world around them with a Gospel Heart. The goal is to teach them HOW TO THINK AND RESPOND in a manner consistent with their profession of faith in Jesus. Join me as I share the way to achieve this kind of impact!

Theology of the Holy Spirit in Your Homeschool

Saturday March 22, 2025 4:20pm - 5:10pm EDT

Gem City

We know that leading little hearts is hard. Overwhelming, even! There are days we just can't do it -- because without a supernatural help, it's impossible. Thankfully we have been given that supernatural Helper in the form of the Holy Spirit! But many Christian parents have not been taught a strong theology of the Spirit: what it means to walk in step with Him, hear His voice, and allow Him to lead their parenting. This session will look at the biblical theology of the Spirit and include practical steps for living under His influence with our kids.
