Come weary. Leave refreshed.
Has the busyness of life crept into your homeschool leaving checklists incomplete, dishes piling up, and relationships simmering on the back burner? Do you find yourself feeling tired, behaving distracted, and low on patience? If so, it’s time to attend, REFRESH, a homeschool ladies’ day of encouragement!
We recognize all of those things take a toll on a parent’s soul. Homeschooling is hard; but at CHEC, we believe that you were called to homeschool with confidence and purpose. It’s our honor to welcome you to 2025 Refresh.
Share a day of laughter, learning, and worship with other homeschool mamas. Throughout the day, we will worship our good and loving Savior, share our burdens and joys with one another, build friendships through intentional fellowship, and be built up in the Word of God and hear an encouraging message. Join hundreds of others for this homeschool ladies day of encouragement!

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.
