Why an Upgrade?
Our mission as parents is monumental: To raise our children to be disciples of Jesus Christ who know their God and seek His Kingdom above everything.
But wow — is it ever a fight to stay on target.
Our enemy knows the power of our mission, and he’ll use any means possible to keep our eyes down, looking to worldly success. We’re confronted by anti-God systems and patterns everywhere we turn, even in our own homeschool cabinets, and especially in our own hearts.
We’ve got to keep looking to Christ and find a way to integrate a God-centered mindset into our children’s education.
It will take a serious upgrade from where we’re at now — and then?
It will impact eternity.

What Homeschool Summits participants say:
You guys NEVER disappoint!! I received wonderful discipleship tips, was renewed in my passion for why I homeschool, and best of all, became convicted where I am falling short. It was HARD to realize where I am falling short, but you can’t change what you don’t admit. Thank you for all you do to help us get closer to the goal: raising godly kids!!!
The blessing that the summit was is IMMEASURABLE. Thank you for providing content that shifts our self focused mindset to what God would desire for our family… (especially for free!!)
I have been blown away by the powerful speakers and the way they speak about God — God helping them, God teaching them, and centering their lives and homeschooling on God… Your speakers have bolstered my faith and my confidence … and made me think about the eternal perspective of what I am doing.

Meet your hosts
Your hosts for Homeschool Summits meet with each speaker over video chat right at home (with kiddos nearby!) to hear their wisdom and ask them personalized questions — essentially your own personal guides through the Summit. Get to know them a little here:
Daniel & Megan
“We first started homeschooling about 25 years ago… well, our parents did! As homeschool grads, we’re enthusiastic about home education, discipleship, and the church, and we take that into our daily life. We desire to raise our family (two little ones so far!) to know and love Christ wholeheartedly, and we’re grateful for every opportunity to share that passion with others!”
Todd & Jessie
“We’re committed to raising our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, seeing the importance of strengthening future generations for the work of the Kingdom. We’ve been homeschooling our 8 children for the past 18 years, and just graduated our first child last year. Todd also serves as a pastor of our local church.”
Brandee
“My cowboy husband, Roy, and I are fourth-generation ranchers. Our prayer as we raise our four cowpoke sons is that they will grow up to be warriors for Christ who are passionate about learning, and it’s my joy to speak truth with love and laughter for other parents on the same homeschooling journey!”
