One of the greatest additions to our homeschool last year was incorporating biographies of great Christians from history. It brought incredible richness to my daughter's language arts, deepened her character as she learned from godly examples, and sparked meaningful family discussions that blessed us all.

In this episode, I share exactly how we wove biography study into our daily homeschool rhythms, why exposing our children to these faith-filled lives is so vital for their spiritual growth, and the unexpected ways it strengthened our entire family.

If you're looking for simple, impactful ways to enrich your homeschool with truth, beauty, and inspiration, you'll enjoy this conversation!

Is it possible to truly live a life you love?

Join me and Sarah Boots from Faithful & Flourishing as we seek to answer this question based on truths from God's Word. We explore how to build an excellent life—not a perfect one—through intentional choices rooted in faith and wisdom.

Drawing from Proverbs 29:18, we discuss the power of a clear vision to give direction and purpose. You'll learn to identify your top 5 priorities, use them as a decision-making filter, and align daily habits with what matters most—through keystone habits, habit stacking, and asking, "What will tomorrow's me thank today's me for?"

We also dive into the freedom of simplicity: decluttering your space, schedule, and mind to create margin for family, faith, and rest—because a cluttered life often crowds out what we claim to value.

Discover practical steps to live with purpose, avoid burnout, and ensure your time truly reflects your deepest priorities.

"Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sight, at the sound of his roar sorrows will be no more, when he bares his teeth winter will meet its death, and when he shakes his mane we shall have spring again."

We live in a world that is ravaged by sin and brokeness. Though it can feel like this "winter" season is forever, Christ is on the move! We can cling to His promises and trust in His Word, finding courage, hope, and joy.

God will take care of you, Through every day, o'er all the way...

Throughout our lives, we pick up burdens—big and small—that quietly grow into worry, fear, and overwhelm. We weren’t meant to carry them alone.

In this episode, we look at one of the most tender invitations in Scripture: “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7). God doesn’t just offer to take our anxieties; He promises to shoulder them completely and to carry us through every storm.

Scriptures Referenced:

Psalm 37:25; 55:22; 127:1-2

Ecclesiastes 11:6

Matthew 6:28-30

I Peter 5:7
