WORKSHOPS:

Home Education or School at Home?

When we began our journey of teaching our children, we purchased several little desks at a yard sale and refinished them. Then we acquired textbooks and workbooks and taped the alphabet to the walls around our school room. Later, we moved to the kitchen table, and finally, we discovered that a well-rounded education is not confined to a classroom but embodies character, relationships, and God.

Techniques and Ideas for Creative Learning

Explore how to make learning interesting, memorable, and enjoyable. Steve shares strategies and tips that he has practiced and developed in his lifetime as a teacher and tutor. Time permitting, we will learn the Greek alphabet and the books of the New Testament.

The Family That Stays Together, Stays Together

God created marriage and the family. Home education is a lifestyle of learning where parents and children do life together. Working, eating, reading books aloud, and watching movies, all contribute to creating the unique chemistry of a family.

From Crisis to Christ, the Journey of a Husband and Father

2012 was the hardest and best year of my life. On the one hand, I had personal blindspots revealed, which caused pain to those who were closest to me. At the same time, God revealed his unconditional love in a new way. I am now, by God’s grace, in the best place I have ever been with my wife and sons.
