Invisible
The Heart of the Home School (Wil & Meeke)
We’re all set. We’ve got the curriculum, the co-op, and the extra-curricular activities. The days shape up nicely when they do shape up nicely… but what about Christ? Have we neglected the primary reason for homeschooling? In this presentation, Meeke and Wil encourage parents to check the heart of their homeschool. The end of homeschooling isn’t homeschooling or even education (gasp). Might we be missing this fact in the growing popularity of homeschooling and the busyness of community?
What Is Truth? (Wil & Meeke)
Wil and Meeke present the question that Jesus answered. Does Jesus’ answer work for us living in 21st Century America? In what ways are the questions we ask today simply a repackaging of Pilate’s old question, what is truth?
Raised to Be Ready (Wil)
The culture in which we live resembles a modern-day Babylon. Daniel and his Hebrew companions were thrust into a culture and way of life foreign to what they were taught in Judah, but being placed in Babylon didn’t turn them into Babylonians. Why? Because they were raised to be ready. Wil discusses how to scripturally raise our children to be ready to go in and confront the current, godless culture head-on. With the biblical examples of Daniel and his Hebrew companions, we can learn a lot about what it takes to be ready to live in a culture hostile to fidelity and submission to God.
The Blessings of Exhaustion (Meeke - Ladies Tea)
It’s normal for moms to feel exhausted in the work we do for our families. In this presentation, Meeke shares how turning exhaustion into thanksgiving and lament into laughter lightens our load and brings glory to God.
Point Guard Parenting (Wil)
How do we set our families up to succeed? In the presentation, Wil talks directly to fathers about the importance of their roles. The success of the family does not depend on charisma. See intentional parenting in a way you’ve never seen it before.
Generations (Wil)
God deals in generations. Throughout the Bible we see where families are listed, and how changes in one generation impacted future generations for good or bad. In this teaching we explore the importance of generations to God and how He uses new generations for His glory.
