    Homeschooling IRL | Parenting & homeschooling — unfiltered.

    Homeschooling in real life — the messy, funny, faith-filled truth about raising and teaching your kids. Hosts Fletch and Kendra Fletcher pull back the curtain on what homeschooling and parenting actually look like day to day: the wins, the meltdowns, the questions that keep you up at night, and the conversations most parents are afraid to have out loud. Every episode brings honest talk, plenty of laughs, and practical encouragement — often with a favorite guest — on everything from curriculum and burnout to marriage, faith, and the hard stuff: talking to your kids about sex, screens, growing up, and keeping your sanity along the way. If you’re homeschooling from a Christian worldview and you’re tired of the highlight reel, pull up a chair. You’re among friends who get it. Honest, evergreen conversations for every season of the homeschool journey. Part of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

    Replay: Devotions For The Real Family Aug 22, 2023
    Show notes

    We are talking about Family Devotions for the Real Family on this podcast.

    You know REAL family devotions. The families with the toddler hijacking the deep discussion, the teens are daydreaming, and the mom is falling asleep because it’s been a long, long homeschooling day. Can you relate to family worship that looks like this?

    Family worship can be trying for most families, and on this episode of Homeschooling in Real Life, we talk with a dozen dads about what it looks like in their homes. But we won’t leave you feeling like a failure! We want to encourage you to discover God’s glory with your family in a way that suits you best.

    In this episode of “Homeschooling in Real Life,” we delve into the realm of family worship, a journey that can be both rewarding and challenging for most families. We sit down with a diverse group of a dozen dads, each bringing their unique experiences and perspectives to the table. Through candid conversations, we unravel the intricacies of what family worship truly entails within their homes.

    The conversations are refreshingly honest, acknowledging the inevitable struggles that arise when striving to establish a consistent practice. Amidst busy schedules, varying ages, and divergent interests, these fathers reveal the hurdles they face and the creative solutions they’ve discovered. It’s an insightful glimpse into the reality of harmonizing spirituality within a family unit.

    However, the purpose of this episode isn’t to accentuate shortcomings but to inspire and uplift. Instead of focusing solely on the difficulties, we aim to ignite a sense of possibility. Through these discussions, we highlight that family worship is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Rather, it’s an opportunity for each family to tailor an approach that resonates with their unique dynamics and values.

    Ultimately, the episode is a call to embrace the journey of discovering God’s glory alongside your loved ones. It’s a reminder that the path might be winding, and the pace might vary, but the significance lies in the intention and effort. Whether through shared devotionals, musical moments, or simple conversations, there’s an array of avenues to explore. So, as you listen to these stories, may you be empowered to weave a tapestry of family worship that reflects the beauty of your own household.

After more than two years of podcasting, it was time to discuss again one of our favorite topics: how homeschooling can be a “buzzkill”.

    The first Homeschooling is a Buzzkill was one of our favorite episodes to record, but as we listened to it we both thought the actual recording just stunk.

    I Love Homeschooling But I Hate Teaching Math – HIRL Episode 31 May 17, 2023
    Show notes

    hate mathHate math? And I hate teaching science. And writing. Or . . .

    Let’s get real homeschoolers. Most of us have at least one subject we don’t enjoy teaching. What? That is difficult to justify when we are the ones in charge of teaching all the subjects.

    So what is a homeschooling parent supposed to do when there are core subjects that must be covered, but there is no motivation by mom or dad to get that subject done every week, or they feel unqualified to teach it?

    In this episode of HomeschoolingIRL, Fletch and Kendra discuss the reality of teaching multiple subjects to multiple grade levels and resources for getting some help. Join them as they encourage their listeners to think a little bit outside of the proverbial box.
