Sponsor Information: Today's podcast is sponsored by The Voice of the Martyrs. For 2,000 years, Christians have courageously triumphed over beatings, stonings, burnings and every form of evil to boldly proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ. Foxe: Voices of the Martyrs is their story and your Christian heritage. In the 16th century, English preacher John Foxe created what is considered one of the most influential Christian works of all time: Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. With dozens of images, modernized English and up-to-date accounts of martyrdom, Foxe: Voices of the Martyrs includes testimonies not only of Foxe’s heroes from the Early Church to the Reformation but also testimonies of those martyred during the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, throughout the 20th century and up to today. This newly revised edition includes 65 stories of recent martyrs who have shown tremendous courage in the face of ISIS and the Taliban, brutal dictatorships and government crackdowns. Their testimonies will inspire you to boldness and serve as a reminder that the same Spirit of Christ that strengthened Stephen, Peter and Paul is at work in you today.

Dyslexia and Igniting the Brain | 85 Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

On today's podcast, we will be speaking with Dr. Rebecka Spencer about Homeschooling With Dyslexia and Igniting your child’s brain. We so appreciate Dr. Spencer’s insights, because as a highly degreed educator, she shares well-researched academic help. But when she found she couldn’t teach her child to read because of his learning difference, it all became personal, and she’s able to offer incredible insights about learning differences both as a mom and as an educator. This is a podcast you can’t afford to miss! You can also find this podcast posted on our YouTube channel. Here, you can watch as Dr. Spencer displays and explains the tools she’s used to help her son overcome much as he’s learned to read over the past several years. I wanted to share a resource that has made a huge difference in my own family, and I know it will be transformational in yours as well. I have personally seen a focus on thanksgiving fundamentally transform people I love as they turn their eyes upward and start seeing things as God does. My husband, David has written a phenomenal resource that will walk you through 40 transformational days in the Psalms as you learn what Thanksgiving is and how it will impact your life and your relationships when you actively practice it day by day. I can’t encourage you strongly enough to pick up a copy and make the Transform Journal, Thanksgiving in the Psalms part of your devotional time. You can buy them as a single copy, but we’ve found that most people buy two to do as a couple or the family pack and use them for family devotions. God is doing GREAT things through this resource, and I can’t wait to hear how He’ll use it in your family as well. You can learn more at TransformJournals.com-- so go check it out today!Additional Resources:Dr. Rebecka Spencer has SO MANY resources for families! She has most recently been part of our Family Conference and Back2Homeschool. You can still purchase tickets for those events HERE.

Life Under Communism – and the hope that can be found even there | 81 Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is INCREDIBLE, for I’m talking with Izabella McMillon who grew up in Communist Romania. I asked Izabella to share her experience and help us all better understand exactly what living under communism really means for families. You do not want to miss this, and I encourage you to bring your children in to listen as well, for through her story we’re going to see how God’s hand is never shortened that it cannot save and how no plan of man can ever thwart God’s plans. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have you join Izabella and me. Did you know that you can be part of the Great Commission simply by packing an Operation Christmas Child Shoebox gift?

Can It Happen In Your Home? Bullying, Cyber Bullying, and Other Abuses | 80 Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

When I first started talking to today’s guest, my initial thought was “surely, it doesn’t happen here…” although I knew in my heart that bullying, cyber bullying and other abuses are indeed happening within homeschool families all around the world. I learned so much from our conversation, and I know you will, too. Today, I’m joined by Candice Dugger of Bullied, Broken, Redeemed. She’s going to give us as parents a lot of critical information to prepare our children for the dangers they face and then to help them navigate their way out of it in a healthy manner if they do become victims of a bully or abuser of any sort. She will give us a lot of statistics and other helpful information to better equip us to deal with an issue that almost every young person will be confronted with at some point in their lives, so I encourage you to pay close attention to what she has to say today. There are still places around the world where the name of Jesus has never been heard. That’s why Operation Christmas Child is sending the gospel, through simple shoebox gifts, to the ends of the earth. The Greatest Journey follow up discipleship program is teaching millions of children to put their faith in Christ, and how to share that faith with others. As a result, entire communities are being transformed. National Collection week is November 15-22!
