Why Freedom Matters with Angie Ferrell

Today True North Homeschool Academy Director is talking with True North Teacher, Angie Ferrell and as we near the 4th of July, we are talking about freedom!

Freedom is a stabilizing force and creates a better environment for people in it- Freedom allows for healthier economics and builds good relationships between people.

We MUST study history- acknowledge what we’ve done wrong and work toward something better-

“Ideas are peaceful. History is violent.”

The history of education shows us that the elites who created the government school system were dedicated to creating a working class that was easily manipulated.

Teaching our kids soft skills: like integrity, work ethic and taking responsibility allows us all to get over our sense of victimhood and self pity

Angie Ferrell and what You are Leaving Behind

Today True North Homeschool Academy Director, Lisa Nehring is talkign with True North Teacher Angie Ferrell.

Today, we are talking about Knowing What You are Leaving, in particular in relation to leaving the public school system.

If you understand the history of education in America, you realize that the public schools are not failing, they are doing exactly what they were designed to do! The moral framework was taken out of education by social reformers John Dewey and Horace Mann. Each subject has become relegated to a silo, every area unrelated to another. Students became an industrialed product, totally pragmatic.

The Christian model is always a threat to unbelievers- it provides a moral framework.

Francis Schaeffer  talks about the Chirsitan consensus, societies where liberal thinkers form the foundation of Christian ideology – Liber  “ to be free”

Goldilocks and the Teen Years

Over the years, one of the most common questions posed as frustrations that I hear comes from Moms of Tweens and Teens. Particularly form Moms of boys; i.e. young men.

Their frustration has to do with the fact that up until recently, their kids were happy, compliant and eager to please. And then, one day they weren’t. They were discontent, unmotivated and generally frustrated.

Of course, this can do with being a teen and hormone changes, the need for regular sleep, clean food and good water. But, it also has to do with their desire to be challenged, to wrestle with someone bigger and smarter than them. As kids grow and develop they need a challenge- they are testing their ability, checking where they need to grow and develop. They need to get out of the house more, have more responsibilities- some that they fail at so that they can tap into their own internal motivation and see themselves reflected in a larger mirror than home provides.

Competition and Assessments are not bad things but can be just what your homeschool highschooler needs to stay motivated to learn and grow!

Martial arts are a great way to challenge and grow your son. On that subject Lisa’s son would like to be clear he never trained in Taekwondo. It was a variation of Karate and later Kenpo. Nor has he ever worn a brown belt.

If you are looking for High School Classes that will challenge, as well as inspire and delight, we offer Core Classes, Math, Science, History and English, 7 Foreign Languages and amazing electives, many that allow students to earn money in High School! We provide syllabus, graded assignments and assessments, end of semester and end of year grading, taught by world class teachers!

10 Ways to Share Your Testimony

Today I’m joined by Josh and Rachelle Brewer, who are the CEO and Youth Center Director of Life Light. Life Light is a ministry that takes the church outside the walls, using music and event venues and more to evangelize and witness to the good news of the Gospel!

The mission of Life Light is to take church outside the walls!

“Live a faith so bold that your life demands an explanation!”

In this podcast, we’re talking with the Brewers, who are full time evangelists, with a particular heart to reach Gen Z. How do we share the Gospel and how do we teach our kids to do the same?

How to witness specially to family members
