Wil Addison didn’t begin homeschooling as the dad who taught lessons, but over time, he discovered just how much his presence mattered.

Zan Tyler talks with this father of seven and co-host of the Culture Proof Podcast about discipleship, fatherhood, the growth of homeschooling in the Black community, and becoming more actively involved in his children’s education. Wil shares how simply asking his wife, “What can I do to help?” changed his role at home. Together, he and Zan encourage fathers to be present, seize the moments, and remember that discipleship starts at home.

What can four years of meaningful homeschool conversations mean for the families listening along the way?

As the Zan Tyler Podcast celebrates its fourth anniversary, Zan looks back on some of the voices and moments that have encouraged parents to keep going, trust God, and remember the extraordinary influence they have in their children’s lives.
