Opening Worship & Eryn Lynum - Nurturing Resilient Faith through God's Creation

8:45-10:00

Resilient faith grows as we learn to see God’s steady character in both His Word and His created world. Jesus often taught outdoors—in olive groves, beside the sea, and in the wilderness—and He used materials from nature (sparrows, wildflowers, seeds, soil, and storms) to make truth stick. We can teach using the same method, returning nature study to its proper place as theology, the study of God. Discover how you can use nature study and time outdoors as a family to nurture a wonder-filled and resilient faith.

David and Shirley Quine of Cornerstone Curriculum: Creating a Biblical Worldview Education

A Biblical Worldview Education is built around the idea of not just teaching subjects, but showing the interconnection among the subjects and then shaping how children think — how they see the world — through the Biblical worldview. Everything in the curriculum is interconnected to Scripture. It’s not an add-on, but the foundation: students learn to see all subjects (history, literature, science, arts) through the lens of the Biblical worldview. Rather than rote memorization, a Biblical Worldview Education uses a three-stage learning cycle: observe, interpretation, then correlation/application. This encourages critical thinking and helps students understand why they believe what they believe.

Marie MacPherson: Home Education in the Shadow of the Cross: Homeschooling When Times are Tough

Home education has its challenges, especially when the teacher is going through a challenging time. Like all vocations, the home educating parent does his or her duty not because it is easy, but because the task has been given to do. When grief, illness, tragedy and more enter a family, how can homeschooling continue? What aspects are vitally important? What subjects can be simplified or skipped for a season? Where do we find the strength to continue when our own strength is failing? Leave this session encouraged that your Savior loves you, forgives you, and gives you His strength for the task ahead.
