**Subject: 2 hr live workshop + Q&A: how homeschooling parents can instill an unshakeable faith**

Dear {name},

In 7 days I’m running a free workshop for homeschooling parents called:

*How To Raise Unshakable Kids in a Shaky World — Make Jesus Great Again in Your Homeschool History.*

I’d love you to join us.

**Date:** Tuesday, May 25
**Time:** 12 pm CT (2 hour duration)

If the **connection between unshakable kids and teaching history** is not obvious to you…I don’t blame you.

But if we consider what God says in Psalm 78, the link becomes clear. 

Look:
  
> We will not conceal them from their children,
> But recount to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh,
> And His strength and His wondrous deeds that He has done…
> That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
> That they may arise and recount them to their children,
> That they should set their confidence in God
> And not forget the deeds of God,
> But observe His commandments,
> And not be like their fathers,
> A stubborn and rebellious generation,
> A generation that did not prepare its heart
> And whose spirit was not faithful to God. (Psalm 78:4, 6–8)

According to the psalmist, Israel had to know their own history, because it was a record of the very works of God himself.

And it was their duty to recount this history to their children — so they would have confidence in God, and follow his law.

**And if they failed to transmit this history, the result is clear: a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose spirit is not faithful to God.**

Let me ask you: is America today “stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful?”

Could America’s decline be because we’ve forgotten the great works of God?

I think so.

It remains true that God’s people must know their own history — because that history is a record of God’s working on their behalf.

And it remains true that faithfully recounting this history is necessary to producing a faithful generation whose confidence is in God.

And that neglecting to teach this history will tend to produce apostasy.

Which means that if you want to raise your kids with an unshakable confidence in God, and allegiance to his kingdom…teaching history is at the heart of it.

But not just the history of Israel.

God’s kingdom extends into the whole world now. **So God’s people must know the history of the whole world.**

How to teach this is what I’m focusing on in my workshop.

Let me say this: teaching history this way is not necessarily *easy* — but it is *simple.*

Look at the psalm again. It is *God’s works* that parents are required to recount to their children.

This doesn’t just mean miracles. Psalm 78 does focus on those, but think of *all* the history in scripture. Most of it is about people, and what they did.

It is the history of God’s work in providence.

So let me ask you:

When is the last time you read a history book that tried to present all the facts in terms of how God was working, and analyzed people’s actions and their outcomes in terms of God’s law and requirements?

**How many history books understand history itself to be the grand account of God’s works?**

This is what I mean when I say teaching history this way isn’t easy.

It’s simple to understand that this is how we should approach history, and interpret historical events — but hard to do, because we often don’t have the right material to work from.

In this workshop, I’m going to give you some very practical tips on how to overcome this challenge. You can make things much easier for yourself and your kids with just a little bit of the right knowledge.

**There’ll also be lots and lots of time for you to ask questions.**

This approach makes history interesting and relevant (how often do we hear that it is boring and has no application?)

By remembering the past, we prepare our kids for the future.

Let’s work together to raise a new generation that is unshakable in its commitment to Christ, because they know his works — the deeds his arm has done.

Will you join me?

P.S. I’ll also be giving away a free 1st–6th grade curriculum (any topic of the winner’s choice). You’ll need to be live on the workshop to be in the draw.
