In this presentation we will look at radiometric dating. Is it really accurate? Are there other scientific dating methods that give us a much younger age for the earth? Richard will reveal the best and most accurate method to use for dating purposes. What about the fossil record, does it provide evidence for evolution or creation? Come study some of the transitional forms (missing links) that are used to support evolution. Do they really exist or are they still missing? Richard will present information about mutations (genetic mistakes), the mechanism used to generate new genetic information causing one creature to evolve into another creature. Are they truly helpful, or are they harmful?

Is behaving like a gentleman an outdated and antiquated idea? Join Steve in a lively discussion of how to teach our young men to be masculine in a society that seeks to squeeze them into a feminine mold. Becoming a gentleman starts at home. Discover ways to cultivate a culture of masculinity without raising men who are brutes!

Why have so many Christians departed from the literal reading of Genesis? Come learn the teachings of the Gap Theory, Day Age Theory, Theistic Evolution, and Progressive Creationism. Come take a look at the consequences of compromise and what is at stake in these issues.

Second-mile leaders are those counter-intuitive servants of God who earn the right to be heard by developing a consistent love of virtue, a disciplined approach to gratification, and a submissive love for the authority of God’s Word. Male leadership is essential to the success of marriages, families, the church, and society. This session will teach men how to Earn the Right To Be Heard, Prefer Proactivity, Reject Reactivity, Learn To Elevate Virtues Above Feelings, Build Moral Muscle, Seek Forgiveness, and Develop A Finisher’s Attitude.

Today we can continue to see increasing compromise even among the churches because of the lack of biblical authority. See how a strong foundation in Genesis is vital not only for our country but for our homes and schooling as well. How can we rebuild this foundation to keep our children from being led astray?

Science gives evidence there is a god, but the problem is there are many gods in the world. Which god is the one true God, and which god will you put your faith in? Examine the scientific, historical, and prophetic accuracy of Scripture. This presentation gives evidence that the one true God of the universe is also the God of the Bible.

Come explore the evidence that man and dinosaurs did exist together just as the Bible proclaims. Study the Scripture’s description of the unicorn, behemoth, and leviathan to see what they actually are. God is not describing wild oxen, ponies, elephants, hippos, or crocodiles. Did dinosaurs go on the ark? If they did, how did Noah get those big beasts on board? Come and see!

The book of Genesis comes under more attack than any other book in the Bible. Specifically, the accounts of creation, original sin, and the global flood are at the forefront. It’s understandable that secularists would criticize it because it stands squarely in the path of their evolutionary views. However, much more troubling is the question of why so many Christians dilute the Bible here?

Could you explain where the water for a world-wide flood would have come from, & where it all went afterward?! Many Christians can’t. Understanding the flood (the purpose, causes, aftermath and evidence) is very important to an understanding of a biblically sound creation model. This session covers the basics of this event, and also includes a video & PowerPoint presentation of the “Hydroplate Theory” - a biblically accurate and scientifically feasible portrayal of the flood event.

Few things create more tension for parents than hearing their children fight with each other. But it's nothing new, as the Bible clearly shows. Scripture also shows several causes of sibling rivalry AND teaches us how to deal with it effectively. Peace in your home really is possible! Come and hear how you can help your children learn to live at peace with each other, laying foundations for successful relationships all throughout life.

In this session we define “science”, and illustrate the scientific method of problem solving. In the light of true science, the three main concepts that the theory of evolution is based upon are examined and shown to be faith-based rather than science-based. The purpose of this session is not only to show that science does not support evolutionary theory, but also to give Christians some “tools” with which to combat the theory.

One confusing aspect of the life of a believer is the war between their spirit and their flesh. This war and its consequences are personal and will determine a person's effectiveness as a believer. Understanding the biblical basis for this battle is paramount for living a victorious, joyful and faith-filled life. You will discover the power of the Spirit that lives within and cause the Enemy and his minions to tremble. This is also an excellent topic for parents hoping to prepare their teens for this challenge aspect of faith.

With fascinating illustrations, this session contrasts the evolution model with the creation model from a historic standpoint through a look at what many ancient cultures were able to accomplish. These accomplishments baffle us even today! How did ancient man do these things? This session contrasts some of these civilizations to our own and has a personal application.

Every person has a dozen or so defining moments in their life that have the ability to change their future. Many people don’t recognize them or at the very least, don’t allow them to significantly impact their lives like God has intended them to. Chuck shares life examples, biblical lessons, and encouragement on how to recognize and respond to your next defining moment so that you are blessed, the kingdom is advanced, and your future is filled with purpose. God loves using average people to do amazing things because then the glory all goes to Him. Learn how to let your next defining moment propel you into the amazing promises of God.

The earth is wearing out just like the Bible said it would. The earth is undergoing changes that can be seen everywhere. Why do volcanoes erupt? Why are there earthquakes? Why do rocks fall from the sky? What are comets? Why are there unique weather patterns? Is the earth warming? If so, why? Why are all continents shifting toward the Pacific? What produces El Niños? What does the mid-Atlantic Ridge have to do with the west Pacific? Etc. The answers are all related, & might surprise you!

More than ever before, raising teenagers that care about their faith is hard, especially in a culture that is quickly becoming increasingly hostile toward Christians. Chuck and his wife raised six children in this age of technology, learning to fight back against teen apathy and help their chidren's faith not only survive, but thrive. Chuck shares insight and techniques to equip parents for the challenging teen years.

While most people’s negative reaction to spiders is understandable, those willing to suspend their disgust long enough for a closer look will discover a hidden world of incredible design! Not only do spiders benefit us by consuming massive quantities of insect pests, they do so using ingenious tactics. Some hunt and pounce, others build traps and wait. Many are cleverly disguised or camouflaged. They can spin up to six different kinds of silk for various purposes, each a marvel of engineering!

Does your home schooling lack inspiration? Are you and your children just going through the motions of a curriculum, rather than striving for excellence? For countless generations, kids have been inspired by hero stories. Come and hear how you can revolutionize your child's education by giving him a legacy of greatness.

This session provides a biblical alternative to the standard explanation for these creatures, and answers the basic questions everyone has on the subject - What were dinosaurs? When did the live? What really happened to them? Does the Bible talk about them? Etc.

How do you teach your students to apply a “Christian Worldview” to the books they read, the movies they watch, and the culture they live in? The answer to this important question may surprise you, for well-meaning Christians often misunderstand the basic principles of worldview analysis. This misunderstanding often prevents Christian students from thinking clearly about contemporary culture. In this enthusiastic and engaging discussion of a literary classic, Adam Andrews helps you avoid a serious (though common) teaching mistake and presents three steps for understanding a story-teller on his own terms. This presentation will empower you to uncover, identify and evaluate an artist’s worldview for yourself – and to teach your students to do the same.

Homeschooling parents are well aware of the shocking statistics of how many of our kids walk away from the faith and values upon which they were raised. The world around them has embraced moral relativism. If the Biblical values that built western civilization are to be restored, the next generation must be equipped to be counter-culture revolutionaries for truth, justice, and the old American way.

Deborah will share how the Bible has made an impact on her homeschooling and how it can change yours. Do your children know the Biblical reasons they are homeschooling? Do they know why they don’t participate in things other kids participate in? Do they have the tools they need for life to battle sin, defeat the enemy, and answer their peers and culture? Find out the importance of the Bible in the homeschool. It’s as important as life and death! Deborah Wuehler is the Senior Editor of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine whose goal is to glorify God and strengthen homeschoolers in their commitment to keep their children Home Where They Belong.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is everywhere you look today—in the headlines, corporations, military, government, universities, schools, and even many churches. What is it? Is it truly a “helpful analytical tool” for society as some Christians suggest? Bryan defines the popular cultural terms and phrases advancing this ideology under the banner of reconciliation. Far from reconciliation, CRT is a racist ideology and a device designed for division and destruction.

Discover the evidence that evolutionists use to support their theory. He will reveal some of the problems with this evidence. Rich will also present the following out of place human fossils, missing links that were mistakes or frauds, biochemistry data that support a common designer instead of a common ancestor, and how the cavemen fit in with Scripture

Hear how even creationists have not truly defined natural selection correctly. New evidence in epigenetics is blowing evolution out of the water and revealing how natural selection is a form of idol worship.

The world, the flesh, and the devil are vying for the minds of our kids, often in such subtle ways that it goes unnoticed until they are in crisis. This session will delve into multiple venues in which our thoughts, our time, and our choices are influenced by our worldview. We will put many of these examples to the test of a biblical worldview with the goal of heightening awareness of where “little foxes” creep in and seek to spoil (Song of Solomon 2:15).

If you have more than one child, you know first-hand that they come to us uniquely “crafted” by our Heavenly Father--no two are alike! This fact is especially challenging when homeschooling and trying to plan what to teach. This session will: • Address the imperative given to us in Proverbs 22:6 to “Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent]” (Amplified Bible), • Include several “personality” test options to help you understand your children and how they learn best, and • Provide teaching/learning strategies to help you utilize this information to inform your homeschooling efforts.

Hardships come in every category of life; however, they are not always a reflection of who you are, your parenting or your homeschooling. Learn to go from living in “survival mode” to learning to live in “revival mode.” There is hope in the midst of the hard things if we are fully prepared, fully armed, and hidden in Christ.

Dinosaurs have been taken as the icon of evolution and most people have been taught that the fossil evidence supports. But does it really? The answer is no! New discovery in modern science is proving the Bible to be accurate and in the workshop we will be looking at some of those discoveries including dinosaur soft tissue, red blood cells and DNA.

Newsflash: homeschooling is growing. Millions of new students are benefiting from a customized education at home, which has placed homeschooling in the national spotlight. With a decade of experience advocating for homeschool freedom at HSLDA, Dan will bring to life the latest policy debates surrounding homeschooling and conclude with encouragement for 2022’s homeschool graduates.

Worldview defined is any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement or religion that provides an overarching approach to understanding God, the world, and mankind’s relation to God and the world. A worldview should contain a particular perspective on theology, philosophy, ethics, science, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics and history. Learn how the Christian Worldview is superior. Our country began with a Christian worldview. To promote human rights and liberty requires a Christian worldview.

Parental rights are foundational to a parent’s right to homeschool. While the Supreme Court has historically recognized parental rights as fundamental, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Troxel v. Granville in 2000 has led to confusion and intensified attacks on parental liberty. Come learn how you can help protect parental rights for years to come.

Privacy is power. The right to privacy, however, is slowly being eroded from the foundations of our society today. In this talk, we will discuss the philosophy of the Internet, what that means for our privacy and how we can protect our families and our digital information.

In the face of cultural hostility, followers of Christ must not compromise the bold historical witness of the Christian faith. We stand not on a mere idea or a fanciful myth, but on historical events that testify to the fact that Jesus is Lord and Savior.

What is wrong with homosexuality? Our nation is rapidly moving from a position of accepting homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle to demanding its acceptance even among those who have biblical convictions against it. The wise Christian will have a biblical answer ready for those who question why they uphold “traditional” (biblical) marriage values. Is homosexuality wrong? Why is it wrong? Why does it matter, really? Understanding Romans 1 is key to knowing what the Bible teaches on this contentious subject.

“Education vs. schooling" ...they are NOT the same! Most people think of “schooling” when they hear the word “education”. In reality, however, the two are not intrinsically linked in any way. Learn why most people are schooled but never truly educated and how you can ensure your children get a great education...even without schooling.

In this session you’ll discover the Seven Principles of Family that were embraced from Creation until around 1890. These are great mission objectives for the Kingdom family. If you will embrace, apply, and pass on these principles to your children, and they will be set up for success in God’s Kingdom.

Is there truly an infinite, loving, personal God who exists, and can be known? How can I believe in God when I can’t experience Him through my five senses? Do I just accept it by blind faith? How do I answer the objections made by atheists and agnostics? This session will enable you to have certainty that not only does truth exist; God does as well.

With all the demands on our time in this world, how do we do it? What mindset do we need to succeed in a world that seems to do everything possible to compete for our children’s hearts and minds? We will look into God’s Word to see what the Bible has to say on the subject and how to succeed in a fallen world trying to take our children captive. The problem is, we only have 45 minutes!

What if the filters with which we look at history could be changed? What if there was far more to the old familiar and famous history stories we learned as kids and chances are, we are currently still teaching our kids? What if we could tell the stories of history and not leave out any of the key players, including people of color who made and are making huge contributions to our nation?Join this interactive workshop as we define Inclusive History, discuss why it matters and plan ways to implement it into your current history studies.

What the Bible calls “a good conscience” is vital for our children to form in their youth. Parents can strengthen the conscience, so a child grows into an adult of strong convictions and is compelled from within away from sinful living and towards righteous choices, even when parents are not present. Let’s make one of the goals of our instruction “a good conscience” (1 Timothy 1:5). A practical plan for achieving this is the focus of this workshop.

Learn where freedom comes from, how homeschool freedom came about in Nebraska, and how to maintain our freedom. This presentation highlights the various concepts and newspaper clippings from the battle for homeschool freedom in the early 1980s.
