HS #217 Shawna Wingert Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

Hi, My name is Shawna Wingert and I support homeschooling families online at Different By Design Learning. As a former special education teacher and homeschooling mom of two boys with special needs, I find that most of us are just looking for real-life, practical ways to make our homeschool days a little smoother and our relationships a little stronger.

HS 210 — Angie Mosteller — Celebrating St. Patrick's Day Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

Angie Mosteller is passionate about many things, but teaching and hospitality are always near the top of the list. She specifically loves the holidays because she gets to put both of her passions to work – the teacher in her is intrigued by the amazing history of our celebrations (which she passes down to her kids through meaningful traditions); and the hospitality enthusiast in her fills their home with creative holiday food, decor, and music. Over the years, Angie has built a website — Celebratingholidays.com — as a resource for other families who want to learn about the rich Christian history of their favorite holidays.

Today, Angie shares with us the story of St. Patrick, so that we can invite our children to know the man who wasn't even Irish! Find out why Patrick is a wonderful character for us to study with our kids.

HS 212: September McCarthy — Why Homeschooling Matters Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

September McCarthy has been homeschooling for 24 years! She is the mom of 10, grandma to 7, and her youngest is only 8. Which means that she's still in the trenches with us, but has great-gobs of wisdom to share. September is the author of [Why] Motherhood Matters and is talking with us today about [Why] Homeschooling Matters. Her top reasons for choosing to homeschool her children are to help them:

Know their identity
Grow in character
Develop strong relationships
Discover their mission for life

In today's conversation we talk a lot about all four of these things, but my main takeaway had to do with teaching my children about good and Godly character traits. I don't want to simply discipline my children for the times they lack character. I want to train my children to grow in character. September's "Character Matters" cards and posters are valuable resources to help us do just that!

HS 208: Ruth and Troy Simons — Education as Discipleship Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

Today we're talking about seeing our children's education as discipleship. Not merely giving them the head knowledge they need, but laying the foundation they need (with them, as a family) for a life of knowing and loving Christ and His Word.

In their book Foundations, Ruth and Troy Simons encourage parents to take the time to invest in a relationship with God as the starting point for leading their families to become long-lasting, fruitful followers of Christ. The couple outlines the importance of heeding God's instructions and being transformed in their own lives as the magnetic force that draws their children's interest to cultivate their own relationship with the Lord.
