The Future of Family Freedoms
- Raise your children to value liberty. If you raise a generation that doesn’t value liberty, they will not stand up for it.

- Fear is a lot of work. It’s so much easier to walk in confidence before God. So don’t walk in fear. Don’t buy what people are selling. Walk with confidence in Him.

Parenting Formulas, Fads, and the Gospel Foundation of Discipleship: What God Has Taught Us Through the Last 50 Years of Homeschooling
- It is the sin of pride and selfishness that brought Christ to the cross. Recognizing this in yourself and with your child gives you a chance to talk about everyone’s need for Christ.
- We need to shift from a model/paradigm of control when our children are young to a paradigm of influence when they are older.
- A season in a child’s life is not their whole story. There will be messy chapters, and in those times we need to stand vigilant in prayer and trust in Him.
- God doesn’t hold us accountable for the outcome, He holds us accountable for the process and our obedience to Him.

Raising the Next Generation of Hudson Taylors
- We are training our children to be all in for Jesus so that they are ready to die for Him, ready to suffer for Him. All with a smile on their face.
- We often feel like we are falling short and aren’t doing enough. When this happens, Jesus doesn’t rebuke us for our faults and failures. Rather, He corrects us and reminds us of who He is and what He has done.
- Don’t buy the enemy’s lie that the world is coming to an end and there’s no hope for the church. Counter his lies with biblical truth.
- This is our hour, this is what we are built for. This is a time for us to shout praise and sing louder than we’ve ever sung. This is a time for Christians to rise up and shine Jesus.
