I am so excited about the Teach Them Diligently Conference! I can not wait for our family to attend the event that is being held in Omaha, Nebraska. That’s right! The amazing conference that happened in Spartanburg, SC back in March of this year, is now being held in THREE locations in 2013! You will have your choice of Spartanburg, SC (May 2nd-4th), Nashville, TN (May 16th-18th) or Omaha, NE (May 30th-June 1st). They will have a lot of amazing speakers coming to each of the conferences Yes, some of the same ones will be back from this past year, however, new speakers will also be there like Pam Tebow!
Okay, so I am getting a little ahead of myself. Not for sure what Teach Them Diligently Conference is all about? David and Leslie Nunnery, the organizers behind this conference, says it best:
“The Teach Them Diligently Convention was born out of a recognized need for more events celebrating the focus of Christian Homeschool Families—which is to disciple their children to glorify God.”
I have said before that one of the main reasons why we homeschool and will continue to homeschool is so that as parents, we will teach our children to glorify God! Then to have this couple to obey God, to put together a conference where there are many speakers that come together to help parents, to encourage parents to teach their children at home to glorify God, is just what our family needed.
Now on to some of the amazing speakers that will be the Teach Them Diligently Conference this year. Not all speakers will be at all three locations. I am just going to mention a few of the speakers that I truly am excited about, that will be at the Omaha, NE Conference. As I already mentioned earlier, Pam Tebow will be speaking in Omaha. I love their family story of being missionaries, homeschooling and being the parents of a child that her doctor recommended aborting because of her being so sick while pregnant. Pam Tebow, trusted in her faith of God and had a healthy baby boy who is now the most talked about Quarterback of the NFL, Tim Tebow.
We will also be blessed by having Voddie Baucham speaking in Omaha this year. Omaha will be the only Teach Them Diligently Coference that he will be speaking at.
Ken Ham, spoke in SC last year and will also be speaking this year in all three locations. Ken Ham is the founder and president of Answer in Genesis.
I had the pleasure of hearing Rachael Carman and Heidi St. John speak at another conference back in April. I am so thrilled to be able to hear them once again in Omaha. Rachael’s husband, Davis Carman will also be speaking. The story of how the began homeschooling and how they came about of buying Apologia is truly wonderful.
Several years ago, I had the pleasure of listening and meeting Hal and Melanie Young. I was also excited to hear that they would also be speaking in Omaha. They are such a sweet and God fearing couple raising their 8 children to glorify God. It will be so good to listen to them once again.
As you can tell, there are a lot of amazing speakers that will be in Omaha. Not only Omaha though, but also at the other two locations. Be sure to go to the Teach Them Diligently Speaker’s page to learn who all will be at each location.
Not only does the Teach Them Diligently Conference have amazing speakers for the adults, they have 2 programs set up for the younger children and the teenagers.
From what I have heard about the children’s and teens programs, my children are excited and can’t wait to attend this conference either! Teach Them Diligently has truly thought of the whole family!
