Kathleen in VA Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 A friend sent this link to Voddie Baucham's blog. This one has a youtube video of Dr. Baucham preaching about education. I thought it was very powerful and am looking forward to hearing him speak at the HEAV convention in Richmond June 12/13 - he is the Keynote Speaker.:) http://www.voddiebaucham.org/vbm/Blog/Entries/2009/5/4_Powerful_Sermon_Jam_on_Youtube.html Here's the link for the convention: http://www.heav.org/convention/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaterbabs Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 We'll be there as well; last year we went but didn't have time to do more than see half the exhibit hall.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathleen in VA Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 We'll be there as well; last year we went but didn't have time to do more than see half the exhibit hall.:glare: That must've been disappointing. I recommend getting there no later than 8am Friday morning so you have time to park and walk to the venue for the Keynote Speech which starts at 8:30. A lot of folks miss that opening speech, but I have found it to be one of the most inspirational and encouraging aspects of the whole convention. I especially like Dr. Baucham - he's theologically spot on and every time I hear him preach I remember what is truly important in life, why I am homeschooling and I get fired up all over again.

I can't watch the video's without getting FAP'd (exceeding Hughe's Fair Access Policy):crying: I read somewhere (I think it was his website or blog) where they are now posting his sermons on sermon audio....Again...I can't listen to them unless I want to be put on restriction by Hughe's for a day. :glare: www.sermonaudio.com Be sure to let me know what I am missing out on....:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yeah, we'd planned to get there early last year and rolled in around noon. :glare: We're hoping to actually make it to some of the sessions this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yep! Dh and I have traveled to Colorado, Texas, and Missouri to hear him preach. He'll be at a conference outside Atlanta in July~we can't wait! Have fun at HEAV :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I searched his name, and it seemed to bring up every convention in the country! LOL. He must be popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 We just enjoyed having Dr. Baucham in Washington. I fondly remember our years going to HEAV, except for the bone-crushing crowds, that is. I had to plan our experience like a major military campaign to get the most out of it ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I won't be at HEAV, but LOVE Voddie Baucham. If you can hear him speak in person I am so jealous! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepymommy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This will be my first time attending HEAV, or any homeschool conference that is! I'm really looking forward to it, any tips?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 This will be my first time attending HEAV, or any homeschool conference that is! I'm really looking forward to it, any tips?:D Here is the link for general info about the HEAV convention: http://www.heav.org/convention/general-information.html Other than that, I'd say check out the list of speakers and the schedule so you can plan ahead of time which seminars you want to attend. Also, some of the speakers have provided downloadable handouts that are available at the heav website. You will want to take those with you to aid in taking notes. Wear comfy clothes, take bottled water, consider bringing one of those crates on wheels thingys to tote your stuff around. Be prepared to walk a lot. If you have an infant, sit by the door so you can quickly scoot out if your baby gets noisy (even happy noises :-) as the sessions are all being taped. Pack a picnic lunch and plenty of snacks and keep them in a cooler in your car. The Convention Hall food is pricey and no outside food is allowed. That's all that comes to mind for now.

Surfside Academy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Dr. Baucham is speaking at our small homeschooling Expo this weekend in San Diego! I couldn't believe it when I saw his name since we're a smaller organization and our Expo is held at a local church. He's going to be speaking on a topic this weekend then continuing the theme at the much larger CHEA convention this summer. He's also hosting a father/son luncheon for our members so its going to be a great chance to see him in a much smaller venue. We can't wait!

battlemaiden Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Have I been under a rock? I just listened to The Centrality of the Home this weekend with my dh. Wow! He was great!

laylamcb Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Kathleen, I'm a VA native, and this is the first year I've been able to go to HEAV. Now all this talk about bone-crushing crowds has me breathing into a paper bag. :001_huh: I'm, er, NOT a people person. ;) I had planned on taking the kids and putting them in the kids' program, taking the DH, taking the mom-in-law--I'm wondering now if I should ditch them all and just go by myself to get around as much as possible??

Sarah CB Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 So jealous! I downloaded every Voddie mp3 I could find online last year and listened to them over the summer. I would love to attend a convention and hear him speak in person. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom In Missouri Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I had the opportunity to hear him speak last year at the conference in Kansas City, MO. It was well worth the crowded room and audio troubles to hear him. I've also purchased his book, the CD's of his workshops, and have enjoyed discussing his ideas with others. Personally, he gave me and DH the confirmation that we needed that we were indeed a) not crazy for taking the family approach as much as we do and b) that what we read from scripture was confirmed and teachable to our children. I'd drive a long way to hear him preach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't recall any bone-crushing crowds the last two years, but it does get cozy now and again.;) I took ds12 and dd10 both times and they did fine - they are really looking forward to going again - it's a highlight of their year. I would have been delighted to have had my dh there but he had to work. It is much better having your husband there, imo, because if you learn anything you really are excited about you can easily discuss it. I'd think it would be much harder trying to translate your enthusiasm once you got home. Same goes for your mil. If you can manage a bit of a crowd, lots of walking and a long two days, I'd say take everyone and milk it for all its worth. It depends on the ages of your children, too. If they are very young, it may be a bit much, but I've seen folks there of all ages and they seemed to have been enjoying themselves. Oh, and the security for the children's program is quite tight. They are extremely careful on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like crowds, either. That's why last year I only went to the exhibit hall on Thurs. I would like to hear him speak, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now plan our vacations around the conference. My friends laugh at me that we go to Williamsburg every year, but who can beat a great conference and Williamsburg as well!

From everything I am hearing, it won't be like that this year. Convention crowds and vendors are down, so I think this would actually be a nice year to go to HEAV. Although, Voddie is a big draw - he's amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
