  • Leslie Nunnery, Co-Founder of Teach Them Diligently, and Emilie talk about preparing for the empty nest even while your kids are young. Your heart will be encouraged by Leslie’s sweet insights no matter where you are on your journey as a mom.

    David and Leslie Nunnery are the founders of Teach Them Diligently. Convinced of the Holy Spirit’s leading them to home educate their four children in 2010, they stepped out in faith. They were called to start Teach Them Diligently in 2011 as God impressed on their hearts a need for discipleship-focused, family-strengthening events, and they have since hosted more than fifteen TTD Conventions across the United States allowing them to share their ministry with nearly a million people. They also minister to families throughout the year through Teach Them Diligently 365, their written articles, podcasts, and more. They are eager to get to know your family soon.
