What about socialization? These are just a couple of the concerns that make homeschooling seem impossible. But you know homeschooling is continuing to grow. More and more families are considering it and taking the plunge. What are the top reasons? In this session\, Davis discusses the moral\, academic\, and practical reasons to homeschool\, and helps dispel the myths we all tend to believe. When you finish this workshop\, you will know that if there was ever a time to homeschool\, it is now. \nThis special FREE event is for new and first year homeschoolers.

Most of us would have chosen something different than what we’ve recently had to face. I mean really\, who would have signed up for the crazy chaos that has characterized the last two years? Not me. But\, if I believe in a sovereign God\, and if I believe that He has a plan\, and if I believe that He has a role for me to play\, and I do\, then how do I lean into that God and His plan? And what is my role in this cultural moment? Let’s take a look at some other similarly chaotic cultural moments in Scripture and see what we can learn from those who’ve gone before us. This is our moment. Let’s dare to live it for Him. \n\nGeneration Joshua iElect for Teens – Day 1 of 2 | $45 per student (includes both days) | 30 student max (Ages 12+)\n\nVendor Hall Opens – 10 a.m.\nSession 1: Friday – 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.\n\nKelly Crawford – When Motherhood Feels Too Hard\nNancy Bjorkman – Homeschooling through High School – Part 1 of 2\nStacy Farrell – Philosophy Adventure: Essential Skills for a Changing World\nJames Cox – I’m a Homeschooling Dad… What Should I Do?\nDaniel Currier – Answers to 5 “God is a Moral Monster” Bible Objections Heard at University\nAndrew Linder – The 4 Parenting Seasons & How to Maximize Each One\nLiz Scott –5 Tools to Help Your Children Think Well and Develop Understanding\nCarla Estell – Search for Truth (Ages 5+)\n\nLunch – 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\nSession 2: Friday – 1 to 2 p.m.\n\nRachael Carman – What About “That” Child? 2.0\nKelly Crawford – Raising Entrepreneurs (and Why it Matters)\nNancy Bjorkman – Homeschooling through High School – Part 2 of 2\nKirk Smith – Creating a Biblical Culture in the Home\nStacy Farrell – A Liberating Look at Time Management Strategies\nRachel Anderson – Successfully Homeschool Your Child with Special Needs or Learning Struggles\nArkasia Cox – How to Homeschool Legally in the State of Illinois\nCarla Estell – God the Creator is Still in Control (Ages 5+)\nSheryl Kaiser – American Sign Language Class – Part 1 of 2 | $20 per student (includes both sessions) | 15 student max (Ages 12+)\n\nSession 3: Friday – 3 to 4 p.m.\n\nDavis Carman – What We Believe: Biblical Worldview Education at Home\nKelly Crawford – God’s Heart Toward Children\nStacy Farrell – From Atheist to Apologist: Lessons from the Life of C.S.
