Homeschool Companion – Lifetalk Radio

Dr. Gamblin interviews Craig "JoJo" Colquitt, former NFL punter who brought home two Super Bowl rings with the Steelers in the late 1970s. They talk about the inspiration behind his children's book, JoJo! What Happened to Your Hair?, and the journey that made JoJo come to life.

Dr. Everett Piper shares this experience that prompted the book Not a Day Care. "I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt "victimized" by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13. It appears this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love. In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.

Mike and Rose talk about some of the many guests they have interviewed and how these testimonies to the saving grace of Jesus Christ have impacted their lives. Just as Isaiah didn't realize his influence or understand the prophesies he testified of, we should always do what God puts in our path, "In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths."

In recent times the decision to merge the two shows was proposed. After much prayer and soul searching, the decision was made to merge all the content into Homeschool Companion. This decision was made before COVID-19 became a household word and millions of families were thrust into a home educational mandate. Again, God's providence.

The first host to work with Dr. Rose Gamblin was Candy DeVore, Children's Ministry Director for the Review and Herald, after the Review and Herald moved, Cathy Jackson helped host the Homeschool Companion Show, and Paul Tooley hosted the Education Currents show. After Cathy Jackson passed away, Rose continued Homeschool Companion as a single host and Richard Tooley Co-hosted with her on Education Currents.

Homeschool Companion, originally an hour-long call-in-show, was designed to provide information to the 11 million families that homeschooled their children. Later, Education Currents was added, also as a call-in-show. The shows were aired on the Life Talk Network along with other independent radio stations.

January of 2008, the radio show Homeschool Companion was launched. Rose and Mike talk about the providence of God in all of the circumstances leading up to that launch.

Are you a champion of hope! As we see chaos in the world around us, we want to have hope. But what is hope, and where does it come from? Hope is more than simple optimism that things will get better, or a finger-crossed wishing that things will go our way. Listen to this charming interview of Mark Smeby about his book, Live Hope Minute.
