This, We Believe!

Friday August 1, 2025 9:00am - 10:15am EDT

"Dads and moms, in all the busyness of life and swell of expert advice, we've forgotten the fundamental truths of homeschooling and family. In short, we’ve forgotten why we do what we do. We have plenty of “how tos” but have forgotten the “why tos” and it evidences itself in our lack of joy of homeschooling, family, and parenting.

Join funny guy and familyman, Todd Wilson, as he sets the stage for a great homeschool convention and the best year ever as he brings us back to the basics of what we believe about family and homeschooling. You're not going to want to miss this for the world."

An Unbeatable Homeschool Team

Friday August 1, 2025 3:50pm - 4:40pm EDT

Demoss 1284

"Marriage is hard…in fact, it’s real hard! Yet when it is right and good, it can withstand anything. It doesn’t matter what the economy does, the status of your bank account, the condition of your home or vehicles, or what your children dish out…because when a husband and wife are right, they’re unbeatable.

On the flip side, when a husband and wife feel distant or apathetic, it only takes the slightest breeze to ruffle a bunch of feathers. The truth is a mediocre marriage sucks the joy right out of life and your homeschool. The economy can swing up, your checking account can be healthy, your home and vehicles can purr like kittens, and the kids can behave like angels, and life still…stinks.

That’s because marriage matters.

Join Todd Wilson, The Familyman, for a time of laughter and encouragement as he shares real life stories, problems, and frustrations along with practical, simple solutions to having a marriage that can‘t be beat!"

Theological Triage: Teaching Kids to Think Critically About Faith

Friday August 1, 2025 3:50pm - 4:40pm EDT

Demoss 1286

In an age when the church and culture are increasingly divided, is it possible for Christians to live in unity? It is -- if we understand the power of essential doctrines of the global church, the differences that divide us, and the preferences on which to give grace! In this session we will explore how to discern the tiers of theological doctrine, how to communicate about faith with those different from us, when to unite and when to separate. We will also discuss how to raise humble, critically thinking kids rather than Christians whose desire to win an argument exceeds their desire to win souls.
