  • According to analysis from The Washington Post, homeschooling has become the fastest-growing form of education in America. More and more parents are realizing that they can give their kids a great education and eliminate so many negatives that are part of the traditional school setting.

    With that in mind, my dear friend, Monica Swanson joins me today to share her family’s journey of becoming homeschoolers! As a veteran homeschool mom of 4 boys, Monica is both encouraging and full of helpful resources!

  • Families are like little churches. They are meant to be places of discipleship, worship, and rest— places where we can fine-tune the gifts God's given us so we can bless the world. They can be full of surprises and joy. But family life can also be heartbreaking and downright discouraging. Trained counselor and mother Melissa Hannigan knows how hard it is to cast and keep a vision of rich family life. How do we cultivate a family culture that's vibrant and encouraging—a refuge amidst life's storms?

    Listen in as Melissa also shares how the importance of this investment has hit home after losing her teen son less than a year ago.

  • According to an analysis from The Washington Post, homeschooling has become the fastest-growing form of education in America. Consequently, many new homeschoolers may not be aware of the kind of local homeschool support they have.

    I invited Tara Bentley as a guest today to talk about the importance of state homeschool organizations, what they offer, and how you can connect with yours to find local homeschool support.

  • One of the topics that moms often ask me about is how to handle anxiety, children with anxiety, or both. I’ve seen anxiety on the rise in our culture and although I would hope that homeschooling would lessen the risks of that in our children, there are still many variables in the equation of our complicated lives that could contribute to feeling anxious. It’s important to get to the root of the anxiety, but if our bodies have experienced anxiety frequently enough, it can become chronic. Today I am sharing some tools that can help train our bodies to calm down so we can then work toward getting to the root of the problem.

  • I don’t think I know anyone who has been a believer for any length of time who hasn’t experienced a wound in their church life and experience. Some of these wounds are what I would call merely flesh wounds, but some are incredibly deep and can cause lasting damage.

    I’ve heard from countless moms who have experienced this, including friends, and my own family.

    It's easy to become bitter and cynical when it seems like we are the only army that wounds its own soldiers. However, I don’t think that is the whole story because that is not the God we serve and I can’t imagine that He would want us to stop at the point of our pain. But how do we heal? How do we trust again?

    Today Wes joins me again, this time to talk about healing from church hurt.
