I love how there has been an emphasis recently within education, especially in classical circles, on restful-learning. As I have pondered what “rest” means in my own life (not just in my home education), I return over and over again to the concept of resting from my own workings and attempts to earn God’s favor by being awesome. 

My rest is found by relying on the accomplished work of Jesus Christ for my identity.

The hard news that I will never be “good enough” drives me to repentance and humility.

The blessedly amazing news of grace drives me to doxological shouts of joy.

So you want to sing Psalms with your children, but you’re not really sure where to start. Or maybe you wonder why singing Psalms with children is even important! Is Psalm singing really something to prioritize in family life?

We have a special episode today in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series. Today my friend Melissa Cummings shares not only her personal experience and love for singing Psalms, but she also gives practical tips for including Psalm singing in the homeschool day. Melissa shares what she’s learned from her experience as a musician, music educator, and homeschool mom of many. Part memoir, part musical training, and part practical advice, this is an episode you’ll want to bookmark and return to time and again!

Thank you, Melissa, for sharing your wisdom with us! And if you want to reference the full transcript, here is the original blog post link: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/singing-psalms-with-little-saints/

You’ve heard about this thing called classical education and you’re curious. Should you choose to pursue a classical education in your homeschool?

Or maybe you already consider yourself a Christian classical educator, but you’re feeling burned out. The kids don’t seem to remember or appreciate the things you thought they would, and you wonder if it’s even worth it.

Charlotte Mason homeschoolers are probably already familiar with the term "Mother Culture." But the principle of "let the mother go out to play" has value for all homeschooling moms!

We have a special episode today in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series. Today my friend Laura McKinney Adams brings a special guest post and audioblog to us exploring this idea and giving practical examples of how to apply this principle in our daily lives as homeschool mamas.

Y’all have been hearing me talk about the brand new online community Made2Homeschool, and I am so excited to tell you that it is officially OPEN to the public! Over 20 creators have come together to create a one-of-a-kind space just for homeschool parents like you. 8 of my fellow contributors agreed to join me for little micro-episodes of the podcast… short conversations to get to know them and their homeschools. Each of them shares either a challenge of homeschooling or a favorite thing, and they all brought some GREAT practical tips you can implement to keep your homeschool running smoothly today.

In fact, the conversations were so great that some of them turned out to be, well, not quite so micro. So instead of trying to fit them all into 1 gigantic episode, I’ve split them into 2 parts. Today you can listen to part 1, and part 2 will publish on Monday.

Of course, if you just can’t wait, you can always sneak a peek at the content from part 2 by clicking this link which will take you to the complete transcript for part 1 and part 2: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/made-for-this
