Education for Kids

As busy homeschooling moms it can be easy to get caught up in the details of the day-to-day, so now and then it’s good to step back and look at the bigger picture to help us keep perspective on both the big and seemingly smaller things.

We can feel anxious and scared, exhausted by the barrage of bad news and moral dilemmas. Today we want to talk about how to push back the darkness by creating sacred homes, places of joy, hope, and life through intentional habits.

Giving Your Kids an Education, Family, and Life They Will Thank You For Later (Podcast 519)

Families are like little churches. They are meant to be places of discipleship, worship, and rest— places where we can fine-tune the gifts God's given us so we can bless the world. They can be full of surprises and joy. But family life can also be heartbreaking and downright discouraging. Trained counselor and mother Melissa Hannigan knows how hard it is to cast and keep a vision of rich family life. How do we cultivate a family culture that's vibrant and encouraging—a refuge amidst life's storms?
Listen in as Melissa also shares how the importance of this investment has hit home after losing her teen son less than a year ago.
