Indoctrinating Our Children to Death: Government Schools’ War On Faith, Family & Freedom–And How to Stop It

Today I'm talking with Alex Newman about what every Christian parent should know about education. We will tackle questions like:
Why is the battle over who educates our kids so important?
Why should parents who don't feel like they are doing a good job should keep homeschooling?
Is Common Core still part of the public school curriculum and why is it so dangerous?
How can parents best prepare their kids to thrive in our culture?

When it comes to parenting, it’s such a comfort to know we can go to God and leave every hope and heartache we have at His feet and in His hands.
However this is not always easy, it takes practice and sometimes we need to be encouraged and equipped for this in order to become a more prayerful parent.
Parenting truly is an effective means to grow our prayer lives!

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.

Nurturing Sibling Relationships (the first of three episodes)
Remaining Faithful in the Midst of Trials
You've Already Won (song by Shane and Shane)
Link to the lyrics

Turmoil in the world can easily spark fear in moms as we try to nurture our families and cultivate life-giving home environments. 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.
