Rooted in Christ: Game on the Dangerous Edge - Keynote

So many of us are eager to avoid challenge as if challenge were a horrid disease. But those that desire to change the world must learn to embrace challenge as the necessary guide to greatness. In this message Eric Ludy introduces us to the historic Christian mindset toward challenge which is sure to invite you to the idea of living a bit closer to the Dangerous Edge. 

Rooted in Christ: Dangerous Games of Dangerous Men - Family Night Keynote

God builds “dangerous” men and women—unstoppable, indefatigable men and women—that don’t accept the stop signs of cultural correctness as valid reasons to slow down, but, instead, live their lives according to the prerogative of Heaven—driving forward when Heaven’s stop light shines green. This sort of man and woman sets captives free and turns the world’s status-quo on its head.  

Rooted in Christ: Outrageous Joy of Being Spittle-Faced – Final Keynote

The Apostle James commissions us consider it “pure joy” when we encounter difficulties and trials of any kind. However, most of us have come up with a thousand excuses to avoid putting such a strange command into practice. And, as a result, we lack the power intrinsic to the fervent, obedient Christian life. Maybe this message can help to change that. 

Underestimating Albert: A Spiritual Lesson from World War I

King Albert of Belgium is one of the unsung heroes of the past century. His actions in WW1 show forth a model of spiritual decisiveness that is strangely lacking from the rank and file Christian of our day. He stood against evil and refused to back down even at great cost to his life and homeland.  

Leading in the Dark: A Spiritual Lesson from World War II

May 1940 was one of the darkest months in world history. The evil Nazi regime led by Adolf Hitler were aggressively taking control of Europe. Country after country fell under the overwhelming Nazi force. Only Great Britain was left, but Great Britain was staggering. The way in which Winston Churchill lead Great Britain in 1940 is an incredible pattern for each of us as as individuals as we face our own impossible circumstances. When all goes dark here on earth—don’t for a moment think that the Light has gone out in Heaven. 

For Such a Time as This: Planting Homeschools in a Post-Christian World – Keynote

Faith, family, and freedoms have faded in Europe and the Americas.  But God has given us a tremendous opportunity now — islands of freedom and culture unlike anything we’ve seen. He appears to be using homeschooling as a catalyst for good things.  How can your family plant fruitful, beautiful gardens at such a time as this?  How does the Gospel of Jesus Christ break through in our homes?

Have your Children Been with Jesus? A Christ-centered Education - Keynote

If Christian parents are supposed to “bring their children up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord,” what does that look like? How would Jesus do it? What would it look like if our children were with Jesus? Would they look like the Greeks and Romans, or would this be something very different? Jesus is focused on faith and life, relationships and the heart, and the Word of God. Don’t miss the things that matter most in the education of your child.  

Raising a Man of God: Blessings and Challenges of Raising Sons

 As one who is a father of a son, and a mentor of 20 other young men over the last 16 years, Kevin Swanson speaks on the unique challenges of raising sons and introducing them to manhood. He will address what God wants for our boys, as revealed in His Word.   

Fathers Filled with Faith and Love

Here is a challenge to fatherhood. How do we avoid the traps of apathy and anger?  Fatherhood is a test of our faith and love, but also, the means by which we grow in these areas. Here Kevin Swanson speaks to the great need of the day — fathers! 

How to Love the People You Lead - Pastors & Church Leaders Workshop

If there was a silver bullet to leadership, the obvious solution would be “love.” “The greatest of these” is always. . . love. How do we exemplify love? How does one love the unlovable, the resistant, the recalcitrant, and the people who don’t love you? How does love “hang in there” over the long haul? How do we restore the wayward, and comfort the downhearted? Jesus-leadership is love. Kevin Swanson speaks from 30 years of leadership experience in church and homeschooling organizations with which he has been involved. The relational church starts here, with love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
