7:30pm - How to Kill a Culture and How to Save One (Trent Emmack) 

Homeschool organizations are on the front lines of cultural preservation. This session, led by Trent, moves beyond acknowledging the challenges in the broader culture to providing a strategic playbook. We will identify the core thinkers and corrosive ideas that have undermined Western civilization and, more importantly, learn practical ways to counter them, discussing how to equip students and families to engage the culture, not by retreating, but by building a tangible, sustainable new counterculture for the future. 

8:00pm - Rooted When Life Is Unstable: Leading Through Disruption Without Losing Your Center (Natalie Mack)

Colossians 2:7, “Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." 

Disruption is an inevitable part of leadership, whether through personal crisis, organizational change, or everyday uncertainty. Drawing from Colossians 2:7 and lived experience as a military homeschool leader, this talk encourages leaders to remain rooted in Christ when life feels unstable—leading with faith, grace, and trust even when answers are incomplete. 

8:30pm - Closing Remarks, and Good-byes (Lennie and Robin Charbonneau)

Don't miss this life-changing opportunity to grow and thrive as a leader! 

* Homeschool leaders from neighboring states are welcome and encouraged to attend. This event will not be Maine specific.
