Bird Nests are always a source of curiosity. After watching a video about the Baltimore Orioles, we made a bird craft. Then we look at the educational philosophy of Performing Creative, which aims to reach the child through head, heart, and hand. Next, we go to our interview with Ed Grifenhagen and his book 365 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know: A Daily Devotional. Ed continues with his story of how he set out to disprove the Bible. God had other plans. On January 2, 2000, he opened to Genesis 1:1, and spent the next year voraciously engulfed in God’s Word, and on January 17, 2001, he surrendered his life to Christ.

Dolphin Love. During Arts-n-Crafts, we watch a video about dolphins, and then we make a dolphin sun catcher. During Curriculum Corner, we look at what a Lawful Traditionalist is and how it applies to educating children. Then we begin our interview with Ed Grifenhagen. For much of his life, Ed dismissed the Bible as nothing more than a book of fairy tales—useful for moral guidance perhaps, but hardly true. At thirty-five, he decided it was only fair to read the book he had so easily rejected.

Today’s devotional is about Rubies. So, during Arts-n-Crafts, we make synthetic gems. During Curriculum Corner, we talk about Lawful Neutral, which refers to a person who strictly follows the rules but is entirely detached from the questions of “Good” or “Evil”. Then we conclude our interview with Bill and Mike Federer. Michael’s lessons offer a prominent dose of his father’s renowned historical expertise, along with insights from his own time as an athlete and fitness professional. He believes that “The most important thing is to bring people to Jesus. The second most important thing is preserving freedom to do the most important thing.”

Spiderlings Surviving Widowhood is our devotional topic. It is taken from the book 40 Devotions for Surviving Widowhood. Because the book was written by artists during the Arts-n- Crafts time, we look at art supplies that would be nice to have on hand regularly. Our guests are Michael Federer who is the son of historian, author, and public speaker Dr. William J. “Bill” Federer. Together, the two are “Team American Minute”! Bill and Michael travel the country and beyond, using history and insight to help audiences everywhere make sense of current events.

Tears are prayers from the heart when you cannot speak. During Arts-n-Crafts, we dry flowers and leaves. During Curriculum Corner, we explore the Universal Design for Learning (UDL). And the impact of neuroscience on learning. Phil Cooke, founder and producer of Cooke Media Group, will talk about how to get your message heard through communication strategies, video, web development and design, social media, book publishing, church media, broadcast television, and movies. After all, your goal is to inspire your followers and audience to act.

Betrayal is one of the hardest trials to go through; we are betrayed by our family members. We might be betrayed by our colleagues. Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples. After our devotional and during Arts-n-Crafts, we explore the craft of Stop-motion. Next, we conclude our interview with Gaylyn Williams. She shares from personal experience, including: abandonment as a child, deaths of her six-month-old son and her fiancé, sixteen years as a single mom raising two rambunctious sons, and major betrayals.

But I Didn’t Know is the title of today’s devotional. This story gives a glimpse into the life of June Hunt, a well-known psychologist and radio host.

Our guest, Gaylyn Williams, is the executive director of Relationship Resources, an internationally recognized author of more than forty books, and a dynamic, inspirational, and motivational speaker. She is passionate about empowering people to transform their relationships with God and others.

Our story today is about the miraculous birth of Tamara’s second daughter. During Arts-n-Crafts, we take movie-making to the next level. During Curriculum Corner, we unpack what a successful day in homeschooling looks like. Then we resume our interview with Tamar Bauttager and her book Written in Heaven, which showcases powerful stories of unwavering faith and triumph from Tamara Hester Battaglia and today’s leading female voices in Christian music, ministry, film, and literature.

Today’s devotional begins with an experience Tamara had with infertility. Following this, we move on to a discussion of using video and other multimodal projects to help children explain their learning. In Curriculum Corner, we then highlight the advantages of using a virtual high school to support your homeschooling high school students. Building on these themes, we begin our interview with Tamara, who explains how uncertainty and pain can make it tempting to doubt God’s presence. But what if we saw each day of our lives as part of a divine plan shaped before we were even formed?

This archived show is an interview with Elder Paul Moore (October 4, 1933 — November 6, 2023), founder of Life Talk Radio. As a child, he often walked barefoot to school until the weather became cold. He started working in the fields and orchards with his family when he was very young. By the age of five, he was picking asparagus. Being so young, he was allowed only half a wage. By the age of eight, he was earning a man’s wage. In October 2001, Moore was given the Society of Adventist Communicators' "Award of Pioneering Innovation" for creating the network. In 2002, Moore retired as president of LifeTalk Radio.
