  • Teach Them Diligently - Understanding Christian Health Sharing: A Community Approach to Healthcare

    In an era of rising costs and impersonal systems, many families are looking for a healthcare alternative that aligns with their biblical values. This week, we sit down with Wes Humble from Liberty Health Share to explore the world of Christian health sharing.

    Unlike traditional insurance, health sharing is a community of believers who share one another’s medical burdens. We dive into how this model functions, the spiritual benefits of “bearing one another’s burdens,” and the practicalities of navigating healthcare as a member.

     

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

    • The Biblical Foundation: How health sharing differs from traditional insurance profit motives.

    • Community Values: Why shared beliefs create a more supportive and trustworthy environment.

    • Eligible Expenses: Understanding how your healthcare dollars are used in accordance with your convictions.

    • The Prayer Box: How members support each other emotionally and spiritually, not just financially.

    • Practical Navigation: A look at direct billing and how the system has evolved to reduce stress for families.

      • Read-Aloud Revival ® - Best of RAR: Becoming Your Child’s Mentor

        Join us for RAR's Summer Adventure. 


         What would happen if you decided to be your child's mentor rather than their teacher? 

        What if you awakened their wonder and curiosity so that they became the kind of people who thirst for knowledge and understanding?

        Today, I’m revisiting a conversation about those very questions that I had a few years ago with Sally Clarkson. I’m lucky to count Sally as a dear friend and I know that her work has been transformational for me and for so many of you.

        In this episode, Sally shares how we can inspire our kids to become lifelong readers and learners right in our own homes.

        In this episode, you’ll hear: 

        • How to make your homeschool a place of resources for your unique children
        • What is different about being your child’s mentor, rather than their teacher
        • Why modeling curiosity and excitement about learning in your homeschool matters more than any curriculum
