September 22, 2023College Alternatives: Alert Academy (Podcast 453)
We have all been repeatedly told that the traditional college setting is the only path to success but the truth is that it is all but obsolete. Only one of our kids went the college route, but all have been successful with or without college. I have a series of podcast episodes where I interviewed each of our grown kids who shared their journey after high school. (I’ll leave links below.)
This year, I’ve spoken at 9 homeschool conferences and I’ve noticed more and more alternatives being offered for high school graduates so I decided to start a series of episodes I will share periodically called, "College Alternatives"!
My guest today is Colonel Jesse Boulden from Alert Academy!

After this episode, I got clarification on whether there is any association with Bill Gothard. Here is what Alert Academy told me:
Thanks again for having us on your podcast, especially in light of the drama with IBLP and the docuseries. I hope you haven't been getting too much flack on our behalf; I did notice you had to record a story about the whole situation. Colonel Boulden asked me to reach out and give a slight correction to your summary, and a few more clarifying details about our relationship with IBLP.
We were started by Ron Fuhrman, who was on staff with IBLP at the time ALERT was started
We became a separate 501(c)(3) organization in the early 2000s
We still rent our campus from IBLP
We do not use any IBLP materials in any phase of our training, and have not for years
If anyone has any questions about our history or current relationship with IBLP, they can email us at [email protected] and we'd be more than happy to talk to them
Again, I hope you don't get too much heat online from featuring us. Feel free to reach out to myself or Colonel Boulden if you have any questions.

Thanks!

September 15, 2023 Nurturing Mother-Daughter Relationships (Podcast 451)
Are you wondering if there are more or better ways you can nurture your relationship with your daughter? Today we are going to be talking about nurturing mother-daughter relationships and I’ve invited my second daughter, Jenna, to talk about this with me.
