Speaker Sessions
Homeschooling While Married and Living to Tell About It
(Family Discipleship, Marriage Matters)
Zan was Joe’s best friend and ministry partner in college. He loved her and wanted to know how she felt about him. Even though they had never dated, Joe proposed out of the blue during their junior year — and Zan didn’t speak to him for a month! In spite of this rocky start, the Tylers have thoroughly enjoyed more than 40 years of marriage. They’ve experienced abundant joys and triumphs and have weathered many storms. Enjoy this refreshing session of laughter and encouragement as Joe and Zan share candidly about the ups and downs of married life — including their biggest fight ever — while focusing on principles that have served to form the unshakeable foundation of their marriage.
Join thousands of other homeschoolers this June 12-14th at the Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference. Expect to have a lot of fun and fellowship with other homeschool families, find great deals on curriculum, and get practical encouragement for your homeschooling at our workshops and general sessions!
