Dads and Homeschool
Your Homeschool Adventure Begins—
with DAD!
“Boys are the canaries in the coal mine of a culture losing its way.” When they go quiet, something’s wrong.
In a world that sidelines fathers, homeschooling gives dads a front-row seat—and a vital role. Whether you’re tossing a ball, building a robot, or walking through Scripture, you’re showing your son what real strength looks like.
No cape required—just presence, purpose, and a willingness to lead.
Discover simple, powerful ways to connect with your son and help him grow into the man God designed him to be.

Keynote A
Matt Hammitt
Matt gave up a lucrative and fulfilling career as the lead singer of Sanctus Real to be the family leader he was called to be. A homeschool dad, Matt shares his story of trusting God even in the darkest period of his life.
KEYNOTE – Friday 8 a.m.
No Matter the Cost
Join Matt for an inspiring workshop centered around his upcoming song, “No Matter the Cost.” Through music and conversation, we’ll explore the real sacrifices—and incredible blessings—of choosing a countercultural path in leadership and education within our homes.
Friday 3 p.m.
Lead Me
Dads carry a unique and heavy burden—the call to lead, provide, and be present for their families. Come for an honest and encouraging conversation about the tension many men feel between their responsibilities outside the home and their vital role within it. Be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to grow as the leader your family needs—and get some practical takeaways to put thought into ACTION.
