How does the "circles not rows" methodology affect relational healing? Join us for an interview with trauma therapist Amber Alcoser to learn how you can use CVCU's relational format of circles in your homeschool environment, your family, your co-op, your church community and more! Amber is especially passionate about helping pastors make sense of trauma before launching their church plants. In a generation plagued with anxiety, depression, and mistrust, today's interview will provide some practical tools for helping those in your circle of influence make sense of their life experience. 

Is your ministry protected? In an era where faith, family, and freedom are all under fire, it's vital that believers take a proactive stance in protecting their vision.

In the 20 years since Dr. Dunne has been a homeschooling parent, she has seen more and more evidence of the fallout from traditional education. All around us, in our communities and our churches, we see the tragic fruit of a sterile, soulless process of educational methodologies that literally suck the joy out of learning. Whether you are considering home education or have been a homeschooler for many years, discover some relatable content and hope for the future in today's show. You can join us on the academic rescue mission for PK to 12th grade at www.AcademicRescueMission.com or for college at www.CVCU.us. See you there!

How is your current mindset affecting your home, your business, your friendships, your future? Our brains forge new neural networks according to our existing mental associations, the feedback loop of our expectations. What we believe internally affects our world externally by shaping our interpretation of reality. What can you do to break free from a problematic paradigm? Join Dr. Lisa on today's show to find out! 

Parents often buy the lie that they are not equipped, not educated, not "expert" enough to homeschool their kids. The data proves otherwise! Moms, dads, you are the number one ingredient required for your child's socio-academic success! Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she interviews fellow homeschool leader Diana Kluwin, and learn about the many support options available to you as a homeschool family, including record keeping and coaching. Public charters tell you what to teach and how to teach it--and then grade your work to make sure you are teaching it their way! That's not parent-directed education. Parents, it's time to break free from the system. You can do this; we can help! Learn more about starting your own church-based community education model at AcademicRescueMission.com. 

Modern education is broken, and the result has been disastrous dysfunction in our nation's youngest citizens. Maybe your kids or grandkids have come home saying they've been bullied or pressured by classmates or teachers. Maybe you've seen the conversations on social media demonstrating the sociopolitical nonsense that has pervaded America's classrooms. Or maybe you've read the stats on the illiteracy rates, drug rates, suicide-ideation and violence and angst. Parents, grandparents, it's time for a diversion from this disastrous dysfunction. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne on today's show to find out what you can do to help rescue the next generation. And don't forget to register for our summer conference at CVCU.us. 

In the 1960s, a phrase was circulated on public television as a result of rising crime in the city: "It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?" The PSA was supposed to alert parents to check in on their kids and make sure they were safe. Today, the question is a sobering reminder for public school parents. "Do you know where your children are?" In today's interview, Pacific Justice Institute President Brad Dacus shares about an alarming public school trend: students in government education centers are being taken from their homes after confiding in a teacher or guidance counselor about some point of disagreement with a parent. This is yet one more example of the toxic traits of traditional education. Parents, learn more about the perils of public ed on today's interview, and find out what you can do to break free from the system. Education is broken. We can fix it. Follow Brad's work at PacificJustice.org, and join the rescue mission at AcademicRescueMission.com. 

Human development is a process of becoming. What social and biological forces underlie that developmental process? Identity, what developmentalists call a "relatively stable sense of self, is no longer stable. Identity is under fire, and we are seeing the tragic fallout in our youngest generations. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne on today's show to learn why teens are a target and what you can do to protect your family and friends from the ongoing assault on identity. As children created in the image of God, we are uniquely and wonderfully made. Discover how you can help your children navigate the floodgate of conformity that has been unleashed on the youngest generations.  Join us on the AcademicRescueMission.com to shift the culture of education for the next generation.

Did you know that there is a language protein, FOXP2, that signals the brain to higher levels of chatter? Scientists say that humans speak between 7,000 and 20,000 words a day, and the Bible tells us that each of those words we speak over ourselves, over others, over our circumstances, has power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, Proverbs 18:21 reminds us, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Whether we speak 7K or 20K words today, let's make them count for the kingdom. 

Are you concerned about the chaos and dysfunction defining America's youngest generation?
