Voddie Baucham
Voddie Baucham Ministries
Voddie
Baucham wears many hats. He is a husband, father, pastor, author,
professor, conference speaker and church planter. He currently serves
as Pastor of Preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church
in Spring, TX. He has served as an adjunct professor at the College of
Biblical Studies in Houston, TX, and Union University in Jackson, TN.
He has also lectured at Southern Seminary.
Voddie
makes the Bible clear and demonstrates the relevance of God’s word to
everyday life. However, he does so without compromising the centrality
of Christ and the gospel. Those who hear him preach find themselves
both challenged and encouraged.
Voddie’s
area of emphasis is Cultural Apologetics. Whether teaching on
classical apologetic issues like the validity and historicity of the
Bible, or the resurrection of Christ; or teaching on biblical manhood/
womanhood, marriage and family, he helps ordinary people understand the
significance of thinking and living biblically in every area of life.
It
is impossible to understand Voddie’s approach to the Bible without
first understanding the path he has walked. Raised in a non-Christian,
single-parent home, Voddie did not hear the gospel until he was in
college. His journey to faith was a very unusual and intellectual
one. Consequently, he understands what it means to be a skeptic, and
knows what it’s like to try to figure out the Christian life without
relying on the traditions of men. As a result, he speaks to
‘outsiders’ in ways few Bible teachers can.
Voddie
Baucham holds degrees from Houston Baptist University (BA in
Christianity/BA in Sociology), Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary (M.Div.), Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (D.Min.),
an honorary degree from Southern California Seminary (D.D.), and
additional post-graduate study at the University of Oxford, England
(Regent’s Park College).
Voddie
and his wife, Bridget have been married since 1989. They have six
children, Jasmine, Trey (Voddie, III), Elijah, Asher, Judah, and
Micah. They are committed home educators.
Todd Wilson

TODD WILSON, author of Help! I'm
Married to a Homeschooling Mom and The Official Book of Homeschooling
Cartoons, is a dad, writer, conference speaker, and former pastor.
Todd's humor and gut-honest realness have made him a favorite speaker
at homeschool conventions across the country and a guest on Focus on
the Family.
His
articles have appeared in various magazines, including Christian
Parenting Today, Men of Integrity, and Stand Firm. Christianity Today
also posts his weekly column (The Familyman Weekly) on their website.
Todd and his wife Debbie, along with their eight children spend
several months of the year traveling the country encouraging moms and
dads. His humor, realness, and straight talk to men (& women) have
become his trademark.

Learn more about Dianne Craft
CHEO welcomes Dianne Craft to our 26th Annual Convention. Dianne is a former homeschool mom who has 25 years’ experience teaching children who struggle with learning. She received her bachelor’s degree in Special Education from St. Cloud State University and her master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado. She is also a Certified Natural Health Professional. Discovering the reason for children’s struggles with learning and behavior has long been a passion of Dianne’s. Some children struggle because of a “glitch” in the processing of information (sometimes referred to as a learning disability). Others are affected by ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, sensory integration issues, autism, Asperger’s syndrome, Down syndrome, and Turner’s syndrome. Dianne approaches these problems in a unique way, applying the latest brain research as well as expertise in the biochemical factors that contribute to children’s behavioral, attention, and learning struggles. In 1988, Dianne created the Brain Integration Therapy for Children workshop for parents, educators, psychologists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists. In 1993 she began teaching these life-changing concepts directly to parents in her private consultation practice, so they could work with their children at home to remove learning blocks. Since 1997 Dianne has been working as an educational diagnostician and homeschool consultant in her private practice, Child Diagnostics, Inc., in Denver, Colorado. Dianne is the author of the Brain Integration Therapy Manual and the Right Brain Phonics Reading Book. She has also produced an audio tape series, “The Biology of Behavior,” the Teaching Your Right Brain Child video, the video series “Understanding and Helping the Struggling Learner,” and other teaching tools that make learning easier for children. Dianne lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband Ron, a CPA.
