Chuck Black:  Homeschool Conference Speaker and Workshop Leader Details

Dealing with Doubt
At age 14, Chuck faced an episode of doubt in his life that lasted for 14 years. Because of this doubt he could not claim God’s Word as infallible nor witness boldly to anyone seeking answers about Jesus Christ. God preserved his faith through it all, but much was lost to those years lived in flimsy faith. It doesn’t have to be so for our children. As parents we have the obligation to equip, prepare and launch our children into the world fully capable of standing against the spiritual attacks and waves of doubt that
they will often face. Discover how to discern if doubt is something a child is dealing with and learn a few basic principles on how to help them overcome and live a faithfilled
life.

Least of the Least: Raising ModernDay Gideons
Christians often find themselves fearfully threshing wheat in the middle of the night, not cognizant of who they truly are in Christ or of their great responsibility to take back and expand God’s kingdom. As parents, it is paramount that we instill in our children the proper mindset of a faithful humble servant who is ready to serve when the Lord calls. Learn how to help our children discover the incredible adventure of saying, “Yes!” to the Lord, regardless of their talents or abilities.

The Power of the Parable
Fictional stories are a powerful way to capture the attention of the young and old alike. Jesus used these short fictional stories to explain the kingdom of God, and Nathan, the prophet, used one to bring a king to his knees in repentance. Discover how your use of fiction can get your children excited about seeking truth and about serving God in kingdom-building work.

Escapism: Avoiding the Snares of Media
In today’s technology culture, the enemy’s lure to escape into an artificial world is great. As the line between reality and simulation blurs, the stronghold of escapism becomes more and more powerful. Apathy and selfindulgence are two destructive consequences that lead to broken relationships, broken homes and broken hearts. Find some practical ways to help keep our children from getting caught in the snare of escapism.

Equipping Your Children to Overcome Cultural Pressures
As children enter and exit the teenage years, the cultural draw and pressures of today can become enticing and even overwhelming for a youth trying to navigate into adulthood. It is critical that parents are prepared and equipped for the challenges that will arise from living in this selfindulgent, pleasureseeking society in which we are raising our children. Even the best of Christian homes are not immune from the influences of the world on our children. This workshop will provide Biblical instruction for parents on how to firmly and lovingly guide their youth through these potentially challenging years.
