Homeschool moms, you’re not alone!
Your calling is blessed, but can be challenging. Come share a day with other moms and receive fellowship and encouragement which will restore your strength, deepen your faith, and refocus your purpose
Being a homeschool mama is a calling full of blessings, but we know that sometimes it is easy to feel so isolated. You love your family and you know God has called you to teach and disciple your children… But there are “those days” when you need like-minded friends and you’re wondering if you really have what it takes to fulfill your calling well.
We see you… and we understand the weight you’re carrying. But you don’t have to carry it alone or stay in this season of isolation! We want you to come to a special day of encouragement and renewal on Saturday, March 1!

2025 Ladies Refresh Guest Speaker: Rachael Carman
A respected international speaker, author, and podcaster, Rachael Carman has traveled the world speaking at conferences and retreats, teaching God’s Word to parents and children. Rachael and her husband, Davis, own Apologia Education Ministries, a leading publisher of award-winning, creation-based curricula for home educators. A mom to seven and “Coco” to her grandchildren, Rachael is a twenty-six-year homeschool veteran and continues to be energized by affirming, encouraging, and equipping the next generation of homeschooling families to answer the call.

In 1997, Rachael Carman walked into the executive offices of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries with a baby on her hip and proposed adapting their signature live events into a full-blown Bible survey curriculum for families to study at home. Now, after twenty-five years of prayer and perseverance, Rachael is excited to see The Word in Motion: Old Testament and The Word in Motion: New Testament published as a resource for Christian parents to teach the Bible to their children at home. In addition to this, Her books How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? and How to Have a HEART for Your Kids are winsome calls for moms to live each day at the foot of His throne.
Dates with her beloved, dark chocolate, afternoon tea, reading a good book, butterfly gardening, beach walking, and bike riding—these are a few of her favorite things. More than anything else, Rachael is passionate about studying the Word of God and challenging and inspiring others to strengthen their faith by deepening their walk with the Lord.
