Winning and Keeping the Heart of Your Young Adult
As children mature they ask three foundational questions of their fathers. The answers the father demonstrates to these questions determines whether he will raise a rebel or a mighty warrior for the cause of Christ.
Dad, are you worthy for me to follow?
Are you worthy to have my heart, Dad?
If I give you my heart, Dad, where will you lead me?
This workshop is for fathers and mothers. It will focus on practical steps a father (and a mother) can take to win and keep the heart of their 8-17 yea old sons and daughters.
Classical Conversations
We will demonstrate how to apply the Trivium with a Biblical emphasis to Classical learning. Proverbs 24:3-4 states “Through wisdom is a house built, by understanding it is established and by knowledge shall all the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” God has outlined for us in His word, how to teach our children to learn and retain. Using this model your children can be lifelong learners.

Mad Dog Math
Mad Dog Math is a supplement to any math curriculum used in any hone. The basic facts are a very small piece of the academic pie, but a crucial piece, without which children cannot move to higher levels of math. This proven system takes the 4 basic fact groups (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and breaks them down into bite-sized pieces that any child can master. As a child moves through learning these facts, he is empowered by his acquired knowledge and for the first time thinks math is easy and fun. Come and find out which facts are needed to be mastered and how to do it. It is a tried and true system that works when other things you’ve tried have failed.
