Episode 24: Leadership Lessons from the Chicken Coop
Tune in to this creative and insightful conversation with Suzanne Gose, a homeschooling mom and homesteader, as she shares her observations on the behaviors and dynamics of roosters and chickens, and draws wonderful lessons from the humble chicken coop that families can apply in raising the next generation of leaders and discipling our children.
Suzanne is a happily married mother of five children, small business owner, and founder and board member of the Community Homeschool Center in Bryan, Texas. She thrived as a Texas public school teacher before beginning their family. For the last 22 years, she's been teaching Spanish and public speaking to homeschool students. Suzanne and her family love living on their 15-acre farm in Central Texas with their goats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits. She enjoys supporting homeschool endeavors in her local community and striving to keep a happy, well-organized home.

Episode 23: Are You Taming Bad Behavior or Transforming Your Child’s Heart?
Does your discipline strategy focus more on merely stopping bad behavior or on shaping your child's heart? Join me as I talk with Rob Rienow to shed some Gospel-centered insight into discipline that disciples and shepherds your child’s heart when correction is needed, and that aims to cultivate virtue for the glory of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Rob Rienow’s most important ministry is loving his wife Amy and partnering with her to help their seven children (and two grandchildren) love God. He is the founder of Visionary Family Ministries, where he encourages families around the world to follow Jesus. He is also the host of the Family Vision podcast and the author of several books including Visionary Parenting and Healing Family Relationships. When Rob is not fishing for men, he enjoys fishing for fish.

I’m honored to welcome Mrs. Sam Sorbo to this episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast! Sam is a passionate advocate for homeschooling and educational reform. In this conversation, she shares her journey into homeschooling and the reasons why it provides a superior educational experience compared to traditional public schooling.

A successful Hollywood film actress, writer, and producer, Sam stepped back from her own career to immerse herself in the home education of her three young children for over a decade.
