2025 Speakers

Last year’s Christian Educators Expo welcomed an inspiring lineup of keynote speakers who share a deep passion for equipping educators to fulfill the Great Commission through Christ-centered education.

“It Won’t Happen in My School!” — The State of Public Education in America Today Dr. Duke Pesta, Executive Director of FreedomProject Academy and tenured professor of English at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, brought a powerful message on the current state of education in America. With expertise in Renaissance literature and a national platform speaking against Critical Race Theory and the federalization of education, Dr. Pesta challenged attendees to stand firm in truth, protect educational freedoms, and uphold biblical values in the classroom. His work in educational reform and media outreach has influenced millions across the nation.

“Christian Education Starts with the Family” Pastor David Roth of OneWay Christian Church shared his personal journey from the business world to full-time ministry and spoke passionately about the church’s role in supporting Christian educators. A founding member of the Men of Iron Conference, Pastor Roth emphasized the importance of living out godly leadership in all areas of life and encouraged educators to remain rooted in their calling and steadfast in faith.

Additionally, we had breakout sessions on more education related topics:

Sherri Baierl, SERVE Communities

Tina Hollenbeck, Homeschooling in Northeast Wisconsin

Jeremie Johnson, Private Schools in Northeast Wisconsin
