Teach Them Diligently
Hi there! We’re David and Leslie Nunnery. We are the homeschool parents of 4, three of whom have graduated and moved on to further their education at the college level.
For the past 10 years, we’ve served homeschool families through the ministry God gave us by producing Teach Them Diligently homeschool events, writing several books and journals, and creating courses. All of which was born out of a conviction that God has called us to teach our children diligently, and to instill in them a love of God and people and to prepare them well to walk through whatever doors God opens for them in the days ahead.
We look forward to connecting with you through the year and seeing you onsite at Teach Them Diligently very soon!
David and Leslie

From Director Sean McNamara (Reagan, Soul Surfer), the film is inspired by the true story and 2016 bestselling book On Fire by John O’Leary. O’Leary’s story begins with his miraculous recovery from a near death accident when he was 9-years-old. Given no chance of survival, John endures an unbelievable road to recovery with the support of his family, faith, community and the kindness of his all-time idol, Baseball Hall of Fame Announcer Jack Buck. Grateful for his miracle and shaped by life’s struggles, John’s mission to better the world inspires millions to do the extraordinary.
