Raising Christian Thinkers
Helping our kids think like Christians is a daunting task in the pluralist society in which we parent. Often the greatest challenge is thinking like a Christian ourselves. The second is fear of the ideas that could tempt our children away from the truth. How do we inculcate truth and inoculate against lies? Both are essential in helping our families become salt and light in a sick and dying world. This class examines the truths that are missing from the heads of the average homeschooled child, and it discusses strategies for using lies as a teaching tool for strengthening our children’s understanding of their faith.

Raising Young Historians
History is an educational essential, an essential that can be the learning highlight of your student's day. Come, learn why this subject is invaluable to a Christian education and how to make this subject engaging for multiple learning styles and ages.
