Home Education
The Talk: From Toddlers to Teenagers – For many parents, the hows and whens of sex education can be some of the most stressful questions.

Good news: Correct these 7 mistakes (it’s easy!) and you’ll be helping your kids prepare for adulthood in the real world while also staying faithful to God’s design for their lives.
Preparing Christian Kids for an LGBT World – It’s hard to keep your kids away from encountering “hot button” ideas like same-sex attraction and transgenderism. Instead of running away from these touchy subjects, what if you used them as a tool for preparing your kids for life outside your doors? This simple 5-step process will help you break the ice and prepare your children to engage with this topic (and those touched by it) in a biblical and compassionate way.
The Family Five: Memorize Scripture Together in 5 Minutes a Day – Think Bible memorization has to be boring? Think again!

You’ll leave with practical tips for memorizing scripture that your kids won’t want to stop.
A Balanced Approach to High School Science at Home: Navigating Transcripts and Kitchen Messes – High school science is where a lot of parents “check out.” How do you make sure your children are getting a rigorous education when all you know how to do is throw a boring textbook in their laps? This workshop teaches you how to even science-challenged parents can still make high school sciences a quality (and fun!) experience.
Parenting
Losing It: 3 Steps to Conquering Your Anger and Becoming a Happier Mom –Coming face to face with our own anger as parents can be a scary thing. But it is also a mercy from God. We can have hope knowing if God convicts us of our anger, it is not to crush us, but to change us. In this presentation you’ll learn how to dig deeper than just “anger management” techniques and learn how God can transform us from the inside out.
Discipling Your Kids, 10 Minutes at a Time – Don’t blink, or your kids will be grown! It seems like an exaggeration, but if you’ve ever sung “happy birthday,” you know the feeling of wondering where the time has gone. How will you ensure that you’re making the most of every day preparing your kids to navigate the world as godly young men and women, once they’re no longer at home? If it seems impossible, take heart: by building simple routines in your day, you can make every day count. This workshop will show you how.
Screen Sense: 3 No-Fail Strategies for Ending the Battle Over Screen Time – In this practical workshop, you’ll learn three easy-to-implement systems for screen time (1 of these 3 will be perfect for your family!) and how to avoid one of the biggest mistakes parents make when cutting down device time. You’ll also learn how to navigate your kids’ boredom and teach them about media balance—no nagging required.
The Media Monster: Protecting and Preparing Kids for the Dangers Behind the Screen – In this workshop you’ll learn not only the best tools for filtering the content your kids can access, you’ll also learn how to install that all-important “internal filter” in your child’s brain so they can begin regulating media on their own.
Your Discipline Toolbox: a practical guide to discipline you can actually stick with – Most parents equate discipline with “punishment” or “spanking.” But there are many tools you can use to round out your discipline. This training will help you develop a practical Biblical discipline plan in your mission to raise healthy, responsible kids. You’ll not only understand why—you’ll have practical tools to make it work.
