Presentations
Balancing Marriage and Parenting (with wife Brook)
If you are married with children, you probably find that there is a huge balancing act between caring for your children and nurturing your own relationship as a married couple. This straight-forward message by Brook and Israel Wayne gives practical and Biblical advice on how to keep the fires of love alive in your marriage, even during busy seasons of raising children.
Being Salt & Light Families
As homeschoolers, we are often accused of retreating from society instead of impacting it. What is the balance between sheltering our children and reaching out to a lost world around us? In this session, Israel Wayne explains how you can equip your children for the “real world” by developing a family ministry.
Homeschooling From a Biblical Worldview
Are your children prepared to face the "real world"? Learn how to equip your children to stand against the flood of secularism and humanism that threatens to drown them. What is your worldview? How will you transfer a Biblical worldview to your children? How can you be more effective than the media and popular culture? Discover how to teach your children to view the core subjects (and all of life) through the lens of Scripture.
Homeschooling: Preference or Conviction?
Why do you homeschool? What will define success for you when your children are grown? What is a Biblical philosophy of education? This keynote session focuses on what is really important. Israel will share what has helped his family avoid burnout and frustration in their many years of homeschooling.
Inside the Brain of a Hyperactive Homeschooler
If you have a hyperactive or easily distractible child, you won’t want to miss this informative and sometimes humorous message that shares the perspective of a homeschooling father who was once himself a hyperactive homeschooled child. You will receive practical and Biblical insights into ADD/ADHD and will be encouraged that there is hope for your child!
Revival in the Home
Families in America are under attack. Teenage rebellion, divorce, juvenile delinquency, emotional disorders, and relational dysfunction are way too common, even among church-goers. Studies show that the majority of Christian youth abandon the Christian faith sometime around high school graduation. How can you have a Godly family in the midst of such a worldly culture? Israel will provide practical and Biblical answers.
The Biblical Basis for Parental Rights
Who owns the children? Does the state have a compelling interest in your child’s education? What are your rights as a homeschooling parent? Do you know what to do if a social worker shows up for an unexpected visit? Israel shares personal stories and insights from the early days of the homeschooling movement when many parents faced jail and the removal of their children from the home if they chose to home educate. Learn how to equip yourself to stand against opposition.
The Father’s Role in Homeschooling
Oftentimes homeschooling is considered to be “just for moms,” but Israel believes that fathers are the ones who are primarily responsible for discipling their children. This session helps fathers to see the big picture of home-based discipleship and provides practical suggestions for dads to learn how to be godly leaders in their homes.
The Second Generation Homeschooling Movement
Comparing the modern-day homeschooling movement to the ancient exodus from Egypt, Israel looks back at the past 30+ years of the modern home-education movement and presents some important observations about God's original plan for home education and His purpose for us today.
What About Socialization?
Do you know where the theory of peer group socialization originated? Learn what really drives the question: "What About Socialization?" Also, Israel will provide you with four questions to help determine whether your child's socialization activities are beneficial to your family. Israel shares candidly from his dual perspectives as a homeschooled student and now father.
