If you’ve ever stood in the kitchen at 7 p.m., wondering if anything you’re doing is actually sticking — if the bedtime prayers matter, if the dinner table conversations are landing, if your kids are truly absorbing the faith you’re pouring into them — then this day is for you.
On October 10, 2026, Raising Christian Kids is hosting the inaugural Raising Disciples Conference, a single-day gathering designed specifically for Christian parents and grandparents who are serious about raising the next generation of Christ followers. It will be held in Pompano Beach, Florida, and will be worth every minute of your travel time and arrangement efforts to be with us!
Deuteronomy 6:6-8 has always been the heartbeat of what we do here at Raising Christian Kids: passing God’s words to our children in the sitting down, the walking along the road, the lying down, the getting up. This conference is that command brought to life for one extraordinary day in South Florida.
Six of today’s most trusted voices in Christian parenting will gather on one stage to share practical, Scripture-rooted wisdom you can take home and use immediately. This isn’t a conference full of theory. It’s a day of honest conversation, real strategies, and the kind of encouragement that reminds you that you are not parenting alone.
Whether you’re navigating the toddler years, guiding a teenager through a culture that challenges everything you’ve taught them, or investing in your grandchildren’s spiritual lives, this conference was built for you. You’ll leave with fresh tools, renewed confidence, and a community of like-minded believers walking the same road.
Laine Lawson Craft is a bestselling author, speaker, TV personality, and the host of the Warfare Parenting Podcast. If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting for your child’s soul in a world working against you, Laine gets it from the inside out. As a mother of three restored adult children and a grandmother, her message is one of relentless, faith-fueled hope: no matter how dark things look, God can still write a different ending.
Ginger Hubbard is the bestselling author of Don’t Make Me Count to Three and the host of the Parenting with Ginger Hubbard podcast. Her message cuts straight to the heart of why behavior-focused parenting leaves parents exhausted: because lasting change starts in the heart, not with consequences. Ginger equips parents to move beyond managing behavior and start shaping their children’s character from the inside out.
Lee Ann Mancini is the bestselling author of Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling a Lifelong Trust in God, host of the Raising Christian Kids podcast, conference host and founder of Raising Christian Kids, adjunct professor at South Florida Bible College & Theological Seminary, and the creator of the award-winning Sea Kids children’s book and animated series. Lee Ann is devoted to helping parents build families that follow Jesus, and she’ll bring that same passion to the stage on October 10th.
Sam Sorbo is a Hollywood actress turned education freedom advocate who spent over a decade homeschooling her three children after recognizing what the institutional school system was failing to give them. As an author, podcast host, and international speaker, Sam challenges parents to think differently about what education really means — and to step into their God-given role as the primary shapers of their children’s minds.
Rhonda Stoppe is a bestselling Harvest House author, award-winning podcast host of Old Ladies Know Stuff, and a trusted voice at Focus on the Family. A pastor’s wife and mother of four adult children, grandma to 15 grandchildren, Rhonda brings four decades of real-life wisdom to every stage she stands on. Her new book, Moms of the Bible, is a testament to her deep love for the Word and the women who trusted God in the middle of imperfect lives.
Lori Wildenberg is a licensed parent and family educator, national speaker, and the author of seven family life books, including her brand-new Amazon bestseller, Grandparents Make Grand Partners: How to Have an Eternal Impact on Your Grandchild’s Life.

If you’re a grandparent wondering how to make your role count spiritually, Lori is your speaker.
