Stephen Beck
Biography, Presentation Descriptions, and Speaking Schedule
Stephen Beck is a popular speaker and author at homeschool conferences around the country. Lately, his topics on family entrepreneurship have created quite a buzz in the homeschool and Christian community alike.

Drawing upon his experiences of raising three children, owning a construction company for 17 years, starting a family-run homeschool curriculum store and discipling young men in the church, Stephen shares his knowledge with families in a humorous, yet poignant way.

Through a variety of media including video tutorials, DVD's, audio CD's, live workshops and a free newsletter, he communicates his message of expanding the Kingdom of God, one small family business at a time. Stephen is the author of A Father’s Stew, Secrets to Building Sites that Sell, How to Start Your Own Business…for Families & Teens, Make Money Online…Tonight, as well as other ebooks and video to get started with your online business. Stephen has been featured in Crosswalk, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, Homeschool Digest, and Talk-A-Latte Radio Show.

His passions are discipling his three children and leading younger believers to maturity in Christ, which he combines with his other passion of duck hunting whenever he can.

Nuts & Bolts of Children Starting their Own Business
God has set us free, not to serve ourselves, but to serve Him. Part of that freedom is having a choice in what we do for a living. Even though your children may eventually work for someone else, having the skills to start their own business ensures that they can choose from a position of strength…not having to take a career that an unbelieving culture hands them. Drawing from his 20 years of self-employment, Stephen Beck will share his hard-won knowledge on how to start and maintain a family-run business. He will discuss the pros and cons of having your own business, the economics and the headaches. Above all, he will encourage you to seek to please our God in whatever situation He has called you and your children.
Importance of Teaching Practical Skills to Your Children
In the Apostle Paul’s day, every Rabbi was required to learn a skill in addition to his rigorous religious training. Unfortunately, our culture has forgotten the value of possessing life skills. Many in the homeschool community are waking up to the fact that we are sending our sons and daughters into the world with very few “hands-on” skills. Do your children know how to start a business? Are you teaching them entrepreneurial skills? In today's uncertain economic times, it is important to recession-proof your children. Do they possess skills that meet everyday needs - skills they could fall back on when hard times hit? Skills they could use to get out of the 9-5 rat race? Come hear Stephen Beck encourage homeschool parents from the Scriptures to disciple their children through the agency of work and give their children the tools to serve God in whatever situation He decides to place them.
Dads & The Big Picture of Education
Throughout all of Scripture, there is a recurring theme - God's people are to carve godly communities out of the howling wilderness. How do we build godly communities that impact and eventually overturn the culture? Are we educating our kids towards this end? What will it take, education wise, to accomplish this goal? What is the responsibility of dad in all of this? These and many other questions will be answered as we look at the big picture behind our children's education. Come here Stephen Beck discuss the obstacles to avoid and the vision necessary to win the culture for Christ!
Teaching Your Children about Finances & Debt
The Bible refers more to the subject of money than any other topic. Where will your children learn these important lessons about finances? Are you teaching them about finances and debt before they find themselves neck-deep in student loans, a mortgage and a $15,000 credit card debt? Come hear the biblical view of finances and debt - and how we can effectively teach this to our children.
Make Money Online...Tonight!
What if you could own the perfect business? A business that does not rob all of your time, does not require debt and is something you can share with your family. Stephen Beck gives you the blueprint for starting your own business on the internet. Over 2 hours of what works online and why. He gives you the big picture as well as the practical details you will need to succeed...including at least ten practical ways to start selling on the internet (some of them you can start tonight!) What better way to teach your children entrepreneurial skills and prepare them for the uncertain future ahead? What better way for you to eventually work for yourself and leave that day-job behind!
Balancing Work & Family
Given our current culture, is it possible to integrate family and work in a Biblical manner? What is God’s provision for raising Godly children and what are our responsibilities? Does God curse our work so that we can only slog through the day waiting to get home where the real ministry begins? Is there more to work than meets the eye? Come hear how work is a gift from God to be employed for our family’s benefit, not their detriment. Of course, there will be lots of practical tips on how to achieve that godly balance of work and family.
Un-Revisionist History
Can you really believe what the history books tell you about the American Revolution and the Civil War? Why did we break away from England and what were the real causes of the Civil War? Come hear how the war to end slavery ended up costing all Americans, black and white, their freedom. We want to rule and reign for Christ, but after 140 years of slavery, will we know how to lead when we win the war for our culture?
