Let's Talk Homeschool

Our family loves Thanksgiving. We will have 18 at our house for the week. In this show, we share some of our family plans, activities, and traditions for this holiday.

Apologia publishes Creation-based science curriculum. But there are other options based on different worldviews. In this show, we give a brief overview of Materialism, Transcendentalism, and Postmodernism comparing these worldviews to Theism (aka Creationism) making a case that Creation-based science is the best and most reasonable model from which to study the world around us.

This is the 10th and final prayer focused podcast for 2021. In this show, we pray that homeschooling can be a way for the Gospel of Christ to be shared, heard, and believed.

This is part 5 in a series of 8 missionary biographies. This episode covers the life of Hudson Taylor.

The curricula we publish at Apologia has the following components: Textbook, Notebooking Journal, Audio Book, Video, and Book Extras. In this show, we want to talk about Book Extras. It is our most popular website, and for good reason. There is a wealth of additional content that adds tremendous value to the learning experience. So let’s talk about what is on the Book Extras website for The Word in Motion OT and NT courses.

Have you ever seen those rocks in front of public school buildings with a spray-painted message announcing the news of a kid's birthday? That’s all well and good, but we can think of much bigger news to share. We believe that the best news going on in America right now is the homeschooling movement. In other words, "Homeschooling Rocks." And when you think of rocks, do priorities also come to mind? You know, the important things in life. If you don’t already know, let me inform or remind you that homeschooling provides the best answers for the big rocks of life, especially when it comes to the education, socialization, training in righteousness, and overall well-being of your children. IN this show, we share some big rocks that you can prioritize when you homeschool.

This is #9 in a 10-part series where we are praying for the homeschool community. In this show, we pray specifically for the international homeschool movement.

On May 23, 2021, Eric Carle passed away after a lifetime of achievements spanning 91 years. He is best known for his illustrated children’s books including Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Carle is quoted as saying that he attempted to “…bridge the gap between the home and school...home represents...warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child…I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases, we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown…” Wow. I couldn't agree more. And what a pro homeschool statement.
