Think homeschooling is a modern movement? Think again.

In this episode, we're digging into the real history of homeschooling in America—long before the rise of public schools, standardized testing, and yellow buses. You'll hear how parents—especially Christian parents—were once the primary educators, and how that tradition was nearly lost… before making a powerful comeback.

We’ll explore:

📜 The biblical and colonial roots of home education

🏛️ How compulsory schooling changed everything

🔥 The revival of the homeschool movement in the 1960s–70s

⚖️ Legal battles, HSLDA, and key court cases

🏡 How homeschooling became mainstream—and why it matters now more than ever

Whether you're new to homeschooling or just need a reminder of why you chose this path, this episode will leave you feeling deeply connected to a rich legacy of faith, freedom, and family-led learning.
