  • Balancing Career, Family, and Education: An Interview with Homeschool Mom Hillary Hebert

    At this point, most parents (at least in California), have awakened to the generational fallout from the public school indoctrination centers. They know it's time to make a change. But what if life is complicated? What if there are job requirements or single-parent households? Does homeschooling demand a 24/7 modality of education? One of the most frequent questions we get from parents is about that balance: Can I work AND homeschool? This question often stems largely from a misconception about what homeschooling is and is not. Home-based, parent-directed education means just that: the parent chooses the subjects, the people, and the process that will best serve the needs of the child. The parent is in the driver's seat--not the school board, not the secular state.  Join Dr. Dunne on this week's show for an interview with new homeschooling mom Hillary Hebert, who has learned the secret of juggling these multiple variables and is now a walking testimony of the positively transformative nature of the  homeschooling movement.

  • Whose Kids Are They? The Battle for Generational Jurisdiction

    The generation coming after GenZ, Alphas, are predicted to be one of the largest global generations in history. Based on their training, habits, and incessant exposure to the world's values, they will be the most educated, the most sophisticated, and, if we don't turn the tide, the most liberal generation of all time. There is a constant battle for control of their consumer patterns, their social beliefs, even their souls. This fight for power has crossed the threshold of the home, the school, the government, and the marketplace. Whose children are they? Do they belong to the state or to the parent? Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for this week's episode as we unpack the signs and seasons of the battle for generational jurisdiction. What does history teach us? What political pressures are increasing today, and what difference does education make? Discover what seeds we must be planting today if we want to reap a harvest of peace, hope, and joy in our nation tomorrow.

  • Education or Indoctrination? How America's Fractured School System is Derailing the Next Generation


    Plato once said the two most important questions every civilization must ask are these: “Who teaches the children, and what are they being taught?” From the highly secularized environments of the public school system, where the Great Commission has literally been outlawed on our watch, to the ineffective educational methodology that’s dumbing America down, the next generation is caught in an undertow of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, atheism. How do we teach them to hope, to dream, and to fully engage with the world around them? How do we turn the tide to raise compassionate, intelligent children who love God, their parents, and one another? Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she shares the findings from her latest book,  Outsourced, and her experience in launching a homeschool-based university and homeschool academies offering 200 classes across San Diego County.

  • The Butterfly Effect: How Small Changes in Media Consumption Can Radically Alter Our Worldview and Our World

    Mass media consumption has a predictable, calculable impact on a significant portion of the population. Knowing its potential pitfalls should propel us to small changes (or perhaps sweeping ones) in our mass media consumption. In this final episode of the Media Literacy season, Dr. Dunne reminds us of the individual and collective impact of media on our sense of self, our identity formation, giving us the clarity we need to live free from the manipulation of a culture that is constantly cocooned by media. Discover some practical tools for those in your realm of influence as you learn the secrets of monitoring media intake and filtering false content. Cultures do not improve with inertia. It takes the sustained and collective efforts of courageous men and women to direct the course of history. May we all have the boldness we need to step out and speak up for the sake of the next generation. Our identities, and theirs, may depend on it.

  • Abandoning Ahithophel: Socio-Cultural Perspectives on Restoring an Authentic Sense of Identity in a Media-centric World

    Who are you? How did you become the person you are today? In a mass-media centric world, this is an increasingly vital question. We are not only a biological bundle of genetically-inherited traits; we are also the product of our surroundings. We become like the company we choose to keep. Whether it’s a physical friend or a virtual one, our beliefs and our behaviors are fashioned by the voices to whom we give the power of influence. In this episode, Dr. Dunne analyzes the modern-day Ahithophels, a generation of people whose lack of emotion regulation and positive relational influence has led them to a pathway of despair, comparison, hopelessness, fear. Discover the steps we can take in a media-central culture to remain rooted, grounded, and anchored in Christ. The identity of a generation, and a future nation, is at stake.
