Workshop 1 - Friday, 9:30-10:30am
Some view biblical worldview as a nice addition to a curriculum if there is extra time. This fundamental misunderstanding of biblical worldview shaping stems from the idea that critical thinking is possible without biblical worldview shaping. Because of the demands and scope of critical thinking as a discipline, biblical worldview is absolutely inherent in providing real critical thinking skills.

Social media has captured the hearts of this generation. Since the invention of the smart phone, depression, suicide, and alienation has skyrocketed. There is an actual process to brain washing. It is not just a catchphrase. In this talk we will walk through that process and rediscover God’s pathway to truth that dwells in the heart.

Keynote 1 - Friday, 1:15-2:15pm
Let's face it, biblical worldview has been an ethereal for too long. If biblical worldview is to have any legitimacy, it must be practical. In this talk, we develop the lost art of reading, writing, and arithmetic in our teaching. We established that every subject taught in the home involves these three skills. We then develop how Worldview work is at the heart of 1) organizational thinking in reading, 2) critical thinking in writing, and 3) conductive thinking in arithmetic.

Workshop 3 - Friday, 2:45-3:45pm
Today, more than ever, we need strong, reliable men, husbands, fathers. At the heart of Biblical leadership in the home is a hierarchy of a love for God that then dictates how we will love others. The higher the level of responsibility and the weight that accompanies decision making in the home, the greater the temptation is for men to either become like a child to their wife or become a bully in the home. In this talk, we will discuss practical, biblical acts of headship in the home, and how to make a real difference in the next generation.

Workshop 4 - Friday, 4:15-5:15pm
Biblical worldview tends to be discussed only in terms of one’s thinking patters. However, if biblical worldview does not lead to holy living, we are really just making “Christianly pagans.” How do we make the connection from biblical thinking to biblical action? This talk develops a three-step plan for a holistic biblical worldview.

Keynote 2 - Friday, 7:00-8:15pm
Young people continue to consent to and even affirm culturally acceptable sin. Sometimes we think, "My kids will never get tangled up in the LGBTQ+, and Social Justice movements." But do we understand this generation enough to know how to protect them? In this talk, we discover the root of the thought process that has groomed Gen Z into doubting God, redefining Christianity, and ultimately walking away from the faith. We discuss three biblical principles to respond with as we educate, train, and prepare this generation for a world that hates God.

PRAIRIE HALL Teaching Apologetics at Home (part 1): The Power to Change Beliefs A respected Christian apologist and educator,
Workshop 5 - Saturday, 9:00-10:00am
No matter what we teach, we all run across an argument, view, or philosophy that rejects or diminishes the Christian faith. But in defending the faith to our children, there are pitfalls that can actually injure their faith instead of helping. In this talk, we will develop practical guidelines for how we can defend our faith that allows our children to exercise higher levels of thinking processes.
