While my family celebrates my daughter’s graduation at a church-owned university, I stay behind on the homestead—alone for a week of stewardship, solitude, and spiritual reflection.

In this episode, I share what I’m working on, how I’m staying grounded in daily routines, and why the silence is both a challenge and a blessing.

Most importantly, I reflect on the beauty of agency, parenting, and the promise that if we train up a child in the way they should go, they won’t forget.
