Presentations
A Father and His Daughter: Affirming Godly Womanhood
Godly womanhood is under attack! This workshop gives practical ways a father can affirm his daughter in her womanhood and prepare her for being a godly wife and mother.
Anchored in Christ: The Solid Rock in the Storms of Life
If the gospel preached at home isn't powerful and relevant to life, then the next generation will reject it. Home education provides relational and situational storms in which parents demonstrate their faith. Learn how to be anchored in Christ so you can withstand whatever comes your way and lead your children to do the same.
Becoming a Relational Husband/Father
One of the greatest needs of wives and children is to have a husband or father who knows how to be relational. Norm explains what it means to be relational and then gives practical suggestions for how to improve. Your wife and children will love it!
Equipped to Love: Building a Legacy of Love for Generations
Everyone knows they ought to love others, but not everyone knows how. In this message, Norm gives practical insight into one of the most challenging goals of families--loving relationships. Marriages and parent/child relationships may be healed and strengthened as a result of these truths.
Having Ears to Hear: Foundation Lesson for Learning
Did you know it's possible to hear but not hear and see but not see? Jesus told his disciples that if they didn't learn this lesson, they couldn't understand all of his teaching. If parents know how to train their children how to listen, they will have given them the foundation for a life of learning.
Heart Maintenance: Keeping Their Hearts Turned to You
One of the dangers in parenting is to overlook the importance of maintaining the heart direction of your child. What does that mean? Why is the child's heart so important? How does a parent care for a child's heart?
Home-based Discipleship: God's Blueprint for the Family
Do you want to build a godly legacy that will last generations? This message presents an overview of God's plan for preparing the next generation for the Lord. The Spirit of Elijah, the Holy Spirit, turns the hearts of men to God, their wives, and their children so that the next generation may be prepared to walk with God.
How to be God's Forerunner for the Next Generation
Like John the Baptist was the forerunner for Jesus Christ to the nation of Israel, parents are the forerunners for Jesus Christ to their children. Learn what the responsibilities are of a forerunner and how to prepare the way of the Lord in the hearts of your children.
In Search of Happiness: World-proofing Your Children
Most everyone feels a need to perform, cope with life's problems, and be happy. If parents understand how to lead their children to God's power for these things, their children wouldn't be as vulnerable and susceptible to the ways and vices offered by the world. This equips parents to lead their children past the destructive pitfalls of the world into a faith in God. constant battle is taking place for our time: our work, church, ministry, home school, friends, family, and our relationship with God all demand our attention.
It's a Matter of Identity
When a child doesn't know who is, who he belongs to, or where his power source lies, he is left searching for someone to imitate. Insights from the Identity Principles helps parents understand God's plan for preparing the next generation for life. You'll learn how to "seal" your child's identity and secure their heart
Jurisdictional Leadership: Finding your place in God's plan
Gain an overall understanding and practical application of the concept of jurisdictions by looking at how God is running the entire universe. This lesson is a companion lesson to the message on Leading With Vision. You'll learn how to trouble-shoot any problem by applying jurisdictional principles
Leading with Vision
Without vision each family member is unrestrained. But when they are led with God's vision, there is order, security, and peace. This message equips parents to resolve conflict and skillfully lead their family. A peaceful home atmosphere with order and vision provides an optimal environment for learning.
Life with Amanda
Norm and Alma share lessons they have learned while educating Amanda, their 20 year-old daughter who has Down's Syndrome. They will share insights regarding how to face the challenges of working with a special needs child as well as resources that may be of encouragement and assistance.
Living With an Eternal Perspective: The Key to Wisdom
Are you training your children to live in the here-and-now, according to what they can see and touch, or are you teaching and demonstrating the power and wisdom of living with an eternal perspective? This message will transform the way you live each day and encourage you and your family to experience the presence and power of God needed to walk in His wisdom and blessing.
Preparing for Christ-centered Relationships
Is it dating? Courtship? Or betrothal? Is there a formula for finding a partner for life? In this workshop, you'll discover practical insights from God's Word about young people building relationships that glorify Jesus Christ.
Reality Check: It's Not About You
There's nothing more destructive to relationship with God and others than selfishness. When a person professing to be a Christian makes life about himself, the gospel is made empty, others are alienated and offended, and most of all, his relationship with God suffers. Norm's messages from Paul's letter to the Philippians will serve as a reality check as you are encouraged and coached to live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, living a life that is all about Him
Rising to the Call: Understanding God's Calling in our Lives
What does it mean to have a "calling"? Most men think of their vocation as their "calling", but there are other callings in life that are more important. Faithfulness is each calling leads to preparation for the next calling in life. If fathers don't understand their callings and how to teach their children about their callings in life, the next generation won't be prepared for them. If we can define our callings, then we can rise to the call of God in our lives.
Scouts in the Homeschool Wagon Train
Like the scouts who led the wagon trains west, husband/fathers lead the way for their family. Knowing the destination, charting the course, and guiding to food and water supplies was the responsibility of the scout. Do you know what you want your child to be when he becomes an adult? Do you know how to get there? Do you know where the spiritual water holes are? Come and find out! (This message can also be adapted to the needs of support group leaders as a leadership address.)
Seven Qualities of a Family Leader
The Apostle Paul had the heart of a father for the members of the churches he planted. How did he face his weaknesses and opponents to his leadership? Many of his weaknesses and problems are those to which most men can relate. The insights from Second Corinthians give men some practical encouragement in how to be leaders of their families
Tearing Down the Walls in Relationships
One of homeschooling's most difficult challenges is not letting walls develop between ourselves and our children. Learn how the gospel applies to relationships and use divine weapons for destroying walls.
The Calling Out of Sons
For generations, fathers have done the best they could with what they had. But what many didn't have was vision for what to do with their sons. Hopefully this session will have a generational effect as fathers learn how to help their sons transition from boyhood to manhood.
The Power of Hope in Parenting Teens
One of the challenges of homeschooling is keeping your children motivated and excited about the educational and spiritual training process. The key to the heart of your child is your ability to give hope to what you are doing. Whoever gives your child the most hope will have his or her heart. As Norm leads you to experience the hope in homeschooling, you'll gain vision in how to instill hope in your children which will fill them with excitement and expectation in their homeschooling experience.
The Power of Humility in Parenting Teens
Teaching and parenting teens can be challenging and wearisome. It is possible to navigate this season of your homeschooling career with peace, confidence and power. Norm presents seven aspects of humility from the book of Philippians that Paul draws from the life of Christ. You'll discover the powerful impact humility can make on your on your children and in your own life.
The Power of the Gospel in Parenting Teens
Are you aware of walls between you and your children or teenagers? Often walls develop as a result of the teaching, discipline, and training process in homeschooling. How do you keep those walls from developing in your own heart and in the heart of your children? Learn how to gospel in a powerful way in relationships with your children.
What's a Mom to Do with Sons?
“He won’t listen to me! Your son’s got some problems. What are you going to do about him?” When a son reaches ages 10-12, something changes that makes homeschooling a son a challenge. This message is not only for Moms, but also for Dads. Learn what both are to do to avoid the mother/son clash and encourage budding manhood.
