    S9 E11 | Finding Fulfillment in Your Marriage (S9 E11 | Finding Fulfillment in Your Marriage (Jeannie Fulbright)

    Marriage is hard. Homeschooling is hard. Because of this, peace and joy can sometimes seem out of reach. The fact is, our ultimate role as women frequently goes unfulfilled, leaving us broken and wounded, dealing with our emptiness and loneliness in the only ways we know how. We attempt to fill the hollow hole in our hearts with the things of this world, which never satisfies. In this podcast, Jeannie shares her journey from a broken, painful marriage to transformation, wholeness, and healing through the living Word of God. She shares how to find all you need to be the wife God created you to be and experience a beautiful and fruitful marriage in a broken world.

    S9 E9 | Designed for Destiny: Help Your Child Find His Purpose (Jeannie Fulbright)

    S9 E9 | Designed for Destiny: Help Your Child Find His Purpose (Jeannie Fulbright)

    Your child was designed for a purpose and given everything they need to fulfill that purpose. God has a specific plan and a unique will for their lives. Our job as homeschoolers is not to map out their route, but to help them discover the path God created before the foundations of the earth for them to walk. On that path, they will use the unique gifts, talents, skills, interests, and passions God developed in them. Only there will they find true fulfillment and peace in their vocation. In this talk, Jeannie will share why and how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in leading your children into their designed destiny, while releasing our need to control and direction and lean into God’s plan and purposes instead.

    S9 E7 | How to Have a Quiet Time as a Homeschool Mom (Jeannie Fulbright)

    S9 E7 | How to Have a Quiet Time as a Homeschool Mom (Jeannie Fulbright)

    One thing we often neglect in our busy schedule is nurturing our walk with God. With everything we must complete, we feel that we just don't have the time to have a quiet time. However, Jesus tells us, "Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing." We all want more than anything to do a good job homeschooling, to bear much fruit in our children's lives. Yet, if we are not walking with the Lord, we cannot bear fruit, we can do nothing well. Colossians 1:29 says, "To this end I strenuously labor with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me." We need the energy Christ provides to succeed in any endeavor we undertake, especially homeschooling. In this podcast, Jeannie will share the simple format that Jesus taught us to strengthen our relationship with God. Even if you only have five minutes to spare each day, by employing the steps Jesus imparted, you will receive all the blessings and benefits of an intimate and dynamic relationship with God.

    S9 E6 | Homeschool Friendships: Cultivating and Nurturing Life-giving Friends (Jeannie Fulbright & Shiela Catanzarite)

    S9 E6 | Homeschool Friendships: Cultivating and Nurturing Life-giving Friends (Jeannie Fulbright & Shiela Catanzarite)

    Homeschooling can feel lonely at times. We are made for relationships, and supportive friendships for you and your children are vital to keep you strong and encouraged on the homeschool path. But not any friend will do. We must be intentional about finding life-giving, likeminded friends for ourselves and also for our children. Where do we find these treasured friends? Jeannie and Shiela share their experiences and insights on finding and choosing the right kinds of friendships. They discuss the benefits of wise friends and the harmfulness of foolish ones. You’ll learn why quality friends matter and things to consider when looking for and nurturing these vital relationships that will add encouragement and fun to your journey. Don’t homeschool without them!

LOVE IT! More eps on the younger years please!

This is definitely my top podcast for homeschooling. I am new at homeschooling and this is my first year with my 5 year old and my toddler. I only wish there were more episodes geared towards the younger years. Hoping for more on this! Thank you!!!!! You are an inspiration.

FWJ15 ,

Such authentic encouragement for any homeschool mom!

I have absolutely loved this podcast! Jeannie Fulbright is one of my favorite people in the homeschool world. She is filled with such knowledge and encouragement. Adding Shiela has been the perfect addition. I could sit at the feet of these two all day and listen to them speak. They are both so authentic with their experiences. I always feel refreshed after their podcast and so much more confident in this journey.

Thank you to both Jeannie and Shiela for taking the time to provide such encouragement to other homeschool mamas. Your podcast has been an invaluable resource to me!
