When we started homeschooling, we didn’t do it for faith reasons. We just wanted something different for our kids. But somehow, homeschooling cracked open a part of my heart I didn’t expect—and my faith has never been the same. In this episode of The Homeschool Hug, I’m sharing the story I’ve never really told: how I went from feeling spiritually unsure, like I didn’t belong in either secular or Christian spaces, to finding a deeper faith than I ever planned on. What you’ll hear in this episode: • The faith tension I felt entering the homeschool world • How Christian homeschool groups made me feel like an outsider • What it looked like to show up spiritually unsteady—and stay anyway • Why homeschooling ended up changing more than just our kids If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “Christian enough” to homeschool—or if you’ve felt like a spiritual outsider—this episode is for you.

If the thought of teaching math, science, or grammar gives you hives—you’re not alone. One of the biggest fears I hear from homeschool parents (and one I had myself) is: “What if I’m not qualified to teach this?” In this episode of The Homeschool Hug, I’m sharing the truth that finally set me free: You don’t need to be the expert. You need to be the guide. I open up about the pressure I felt when I started homeschooling—especially as a former classroom teacher who still felt unprepared in certain subjects. I talk about the subject I struggled with most, how I got creative with resources, and why letting your kids see you learn with them is one of the most powerful things you can do. What you'll learn in this episode: • Why your mindset matters more than your mastery • Easy ways to outsource or support difficult subjects • How to build your kids’ confidence by modeling real-world learning • Tools like open-and-go curriculum, online classes, and skill-sharing with other parents Still wrestling with doubt?
