Comprehensive sex education is here. If your child is in public school, you need to be informed and ready to address the perversion that is being pushed on your child in the name of “education.” Today I’ll address questions on this topic as well as link back to several articles that I know you’ll want to read.

September 06, 2019 Your Kids Belong to YOU: Why We Must Not Take Freedom For Granted with Zan Tyler — 815
“The child is not the mere creature of the State.” Did you know that this from a ruling from the Supreme Court? It is—and yet the hard left in this nation is moving rapidly to make sure parents feel that their kids belong to the State. Homeschool pioneer Zan Tyler joins me today to encourage parents to get off the bench and on the battlefield of the fight for freedom in the United States. We throw our freedom away when we refuse to defend it. Freedom is precious! Let’s defend it!

“My story is about the greatness and faithfulness of the Lord—and how He uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary plans.”

Zan’s homeschool journey began in 1984 when homeschooling was illegal. The State Superintendent of Education threatened Zan with jail for insisting on homeschooling her son. For the next eight years, she and other homeschool families battled for homeschool freedom and the establishment of landmark homeschool legislation in South Carolina. To this day, her legislative success in South Carolina has spearheaded legislation to ensure homeschool freedom in other states. In 1990, she founded the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools and served as its president for ten years. Her fight for homeschool freedom has led her to serve as the National Grassroots Director for ParentalRights.org, to advocate for homeschooling in the media (appearing on NBC’s Today Show) and at the nation’s capital, and to write profusely about the benefits of homeschooling.
Zan’s deepest desire is to encourage parents to raise children who love the Lord, understand their callings in life, and become active citizens who understand the freedom principles undergirding our great American heritage. She is an inspirational speaker and author, a consultant for BJU Press and the Home School Legal Defense Association, and the founder of the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools (SCAIHS). For sixteen years, Zan worked with Christian publishers to develop homeschool curriculum and resources. In 2015 she was presented with the Chris Klicka Award for her dedication and commitment to home education worldwide. She considers the twenty-one-years she and her husband, Joe, spent homeschooling their own three children from kindergarten through high school to be one of the greatest privileges of her life.
As a prolific author, Zan is best known for her classic homeschool book, 7 Tools For Cultivating Your Child’s Potential. She is currently authoring a new book to be released by BJU Press in the spring of 2019. Zan’s website, zantyler.com offers weekly inspiration through her blog ministry, lists events where homeschoolers can connect with Zan personally, and provides information on Zan’s and Joe’s speaking topics.

September 04, 2019 I Love Jesus and I Cuss a Little: Week 1 of Ambassadors | MomStrong International — 814
We’re having a serious identity crisis in the church today. We’re trying to be just like the world, rather than be the “set apart” people God has called us to be. Jesus declared, “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you”. When God chose you and appointed you, you became an ambassador—with the privilege to bear fruit for His glory and arrange your life to please Him! This month at MomStrong International, we’ll be digging deep in the topic of being an ambassador for the Lord Jesus. It’s a privilege to embrace!

Hey you guys, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the podcast. Today is Wednesday, September 4th—this is episode number 814 it is also the very first day of our study (at least at the podcast) at MomStrong International for the month of September. We’re going to be studying what it means to be an ambassador. I cannot wait.
Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
How are you guys doing? It’s September 4th and you kind of ease and back into your schedule or like—yeah, September. Yeah, no? I’m getting some pushback. I’m getting a little bit of pushback from some of you guys. You’re like— yeah, no, nope, I don’t want to do that. I’m kind of with you on that. We don’t start here until after Labor Day, so we’re sort of getting into it around here. I will say though, the one thing that I really do like about September is it kind of brings some order to my life. I think my life could be rather chaotic without September. If I lived most of my life like I do in June, July, and August— I might actually lose my mind. So I’m working on a little schedule. We’re getting up earlier at our house which is kind of an important thing getting up earlier. We’re trying to just get back into routine.
So if that’s you, I just encourage you stay with it. The routine actually pays off. I told you guys a while ago, I wrote a book called The Busy Homeschool Moms Guide to Daylight. There is tons and tons of great information in there about how to create routine and schedule and why your kids need it, why you need it. It’s great whether you homeschool or whether you don’t. You can check that out probably on Amazon you can also buy it directly from me in my store. Just Google: The Busy Homeschool Moms Guide to Daylight. I also wrote a book on marriage,

August 30, 2019 Find Freedom in Education and Flourish with Andrew Pudewa Part Two| 812
Are you frustrated with how your child is being educated? It’s easy to feel that way, even if you’re homeschooling. Truth is, most of us went to school. It’s hard not to do to our children what was done to us—especially when it comes to escaping a boring, one-size-fits-all approach to education. If you’re looking for my joy in education, listen in, because my friend Andrew Pudewa knows how you’re feeling and he’s here to encourage you. As a beloved teacher and founder of the Institute for Excellence in Writing, Andrew knows a thing or two about what it takes to help children stop surviving and start thriving in education. Listen in! I know you’ll be encouraged!
