How Can We Support Public School Teachers? Sep 07, 2018

Show notes

I talk a lot about homeschooling on my podcast, because it’s what we do, but there are millions of children in public school each day being loved by their hard-working teachers. Today I have one of my closest friends as our special guest. Carol Bates is my daughter’s mother-in-law, and is joining us to share how we can pray for and support teachers each day as they minister to all of our children, even if you don’t have children in the public school system.

The Best Accident that Ever Happened, with Yvette Hampton Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

A listener is asking about my accidental homeschooling status, and it turns out, I’m not the only one ’round these parts! Yvette Hampton is joining me today and we’re talking about why we decided to homeschool and SchoolHouse Rocked, a documentary you won’t want to miss!
Yvette Hampton has been married to her awesome husband, Garritt, for 23 years and is beyond blessed to be mom to her two sweet girls. She is the producer and host of the upcoming documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution.
In the fall of 2016, she and her family sold their home and most of their possessions, loaded up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked. They have a passion for the homeschool community and are humbled and honored that the Lord has called them to tell the story of the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution.
The movie is intended to dispel the many misconceptions and negative stereotypes of homeschooling as well as to encourage and equip parents to take charge of their child’s heart and education. They plan to release Schoolhouse Rocked in theaters in the summer of 2019!

Homeschooling Held Hostage – We’ve gone from a few brave moms who, without access to mainstream “curriculum”, managed to give their children an excellent education—but we’ve forgotten what made it excellent. It was excellent because these moms had a vision for homeschooling—they weren’t trying to re-create school at home. They were simply being obedient to the One who had called them to be different. They knew that if He had called them, He would equip them.

All Things Work Together For Good Aug 29, 2018

Show notes

Romans 8:28 is one of the most claimed promises about the providence and grace of God in our ups and downs. If we rightly understand this truth, it unlocks a bulletproof joy in the midst of our circumstances, but if we wrongly understand it, we miss the depth of joy and comfort that God intends for us. There are two conditions that are critical for it’s application. Don’t miss our discussion about it today!

The Effects of Feminism on the Hearts of our Boys and Men Aug 27, 2018

Show notes

Today, I am answering a question from a listener who is frustrated by the attempts to emasculate men in our culture today, especially since she is trying to raise her boys to love and protect women. The Bible says we have been created differently as male and female. One is not better than the other—but we have unique strengths and weaknesses. Let’s embrace them!

The Slow Fade of Sexual Sin in the Church Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

The cultural agenda toward sexual sin is grievous and doesn’t seem to be skipping any area of our world today. It’s God’s heart for you that you would stand and be an ambassador for Jesus, no matter the cultural climate in which you find yourself. His heart is that you would love people like He did. He is love, but He is also holy and just. What does that mean for us in how we relate to those who claim that sexual sin isn’t really sin after all?
