| When the Maxwells are invited to speak for a homeschooling convention, the convention has a powerful "package." With four of the Maxwell adults all having workshop sessions, they provide speakers for couples, men, women, and youth, in addition to a family Gospel music session. Steve and Teri, together, speak to couples. Individually Steve shares with men, and Teri encourages women. Their adult son (31) and daughter (28) talk to homeschooling young people, strengthening them in their personal lives and directing them toward productive years before marriage. In addition, the five younger Maxwells, Joseph, 21, John, 19, Anna, 17, Jesse, 15, and Mary, 13, are also giving sessions for the young people.
Steve and Teri Maxwell, along with their children, bring a unique blend of homeschooling and parenting experience as they minister to homeschooling families through writing, speaking, personal encouragement, and music. Having twenty-five years of homeschooling experience, having raised five children through homeschooling, and having three children whom they are still homeschooling, the Maxwells understand and speak to the needs of homeschooling families.

Because the Lord has directed Steve and Teri to travel with their family, conference attendees observe a long-time homeschool family in action. Frequently they comment on how encouraged they are to see a homeschool family with older and younger children functioning as they envision it should. It gives them hope and direction for their homeschooling family. The Maxwells have their homeschooling "credentials" with them for others to see, talk to, and interact with.
Through application of the truth of Scripture and a dedication to the homeschool lifestyle, the Lord Jesus enabled the Maxwells to enjoy teens who have not rebelled. Their adult children are loving and serving the Lord while leading productive lives. Steve and Teri’s message does not come from theories and ideas read in books, but rather they come from over twenty years of personal experience in the homeschool trenches, including failures as well as successes.
