How can we properly prepare ourselves and our children for the coming days?
* Education By The Book - Key Elements of a Truly Biblical Education
Do you know what makes a Christian Education truly a Christian Education? Is it just the content? Do we make a Christian education by taking the public school and adding "Christian" content?

What are the real thinking skills that were present in our forefather’s educational process that are missing today? Discover the two educational skills that you can immediately implement to transform your child into a real thinker.
* How To Teach Our Children HOW To Think
Many of us were taught what to think, but we never taught how to think. We unfortunately can end up making the same mistakes our teachers made with us. We know that there was a time in history when the educational system was focused on teaching our children both what to think and how to think. What are the key differences between that educational system and what is taught today? Unless we can clearly see the differences, we will never be able to make a change. In this seminar you will learn the three primary disciplines that ancient educators knew and practiced consistently in the educating of their children. Come and discover the dramatic difference these simple principles can make in your child.
* Essential Elements to Thinking like a Christian
Everyone wants to think better, but do you want to think like a true disciple of Christ? How does a follower of the Lord think?

(You may be surprised by the answer!) What does it take to train the mind of our children to think like a true disciple of the Lord? What are the 4 deadly hindrances to good thinking that must be must addressed and corrected before the parent can effectively train the heart and mind of their child to think like a true Christian?
* Winning The Two Major Wars In A Man's Life
Every man faces two formidable enemies all throughout his life. These two enemies will either destroy him and his family or be conquered by the grace of God applied to the heart of a man. Do you know what the two greatest areas of temptation and battle zones are? More importantly, do you know how to win these crucial battles, do you know what it takes to come out victorious every time? Come to be challenged and encouraged from the scriptures, to walk faithfully with our Lord and be a godly example to our sons and daughters.
* Three Reasons Why Children Leave The Faith When They Go To College
The verdict is in and we are losing the war! Over 50% of those going to college will reject the beliefs they were taught as a child. Why is this happening? What is happening in our homes that is causing this to happen? Are we passing on the "faith once delivered to the saints" and preparing them for the ravaging wolves in these universities? Most importantly, what can we do to prevent this disastrous outcome? How can we prepare our children to defend the faith and become an "overcomer"?
* ADD/ADHD: The Facts and The Fiction
Today over 5 million children are being diagnosed as ADD/ADHD. Are we being told the whole story concerning this increasingly popular "disease"? Are you confused about this whole issue? Do you wonder if your child is showing the symptoms associated with this "mental illness"? Are there dangerous side effects to the most common treatments that even your doctor may not be aware of? Lastly, does God’s Word have anything to say about this issue? Learn the truth and gain practical insights into this important issue for you and your family.
* Successful Leadership - The 3 Keys
