Pat Marcum is a veteran homeschooling father, beginning in the early 1980s. Pat has held management and executive positions in several companies marketing to the homeschool community over the last 25 years, including design and development of the successful retail program, Homeschool Headquarters. Pat is currently an independent marketing consultant, staff writer for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, and conference speaker. Pat believes all Christian parents must consider the important spiritual implications of placing their children under the authority of government-run schools where they are indoctrinated from kindergarten through high school into worldly thinking and practices. He encourages Christian parents to keep their children home under their protection and spiritual guidance, training them according to Scriptural commands. Pat believes his message, along with the practical resources he provides, will encourage parents in developing a godly conviction to keep their children home. Pat strongly believes that his message will help reduce homeschool attrition, and that parents will also be equipped to persuade others that all Christian parents are called to disciple their own children (and not give them to the government for their discipling).
