    With producer Scott celebrating his son's wedding, this week we present a special lecture by Pesach.

    (87) Home School is Not Public School at Home

    (87) Home School is Not Public School at Home

    Doug and his wife, Sam, make a big decision to pull their kids from public school, and to home school them instead. What's wrong with public school? Are they inviting social problems into their kids' lives? What are the potential benefits and dangers of public schools? Why not just enroll in private school instead? And what's the Bible's viewpoint on home schooling? Pesach and special guest Lisa Nehring of True North Academy dig into what drove them to this decision, and encourage Sam and Doug to share some of the hard conversations that led them to this important step.
    If you care about your kids' education - even if you are determined not to make any changes - you won't want to miss this thought-provoking, enlightening, and fun conversation.

    (83) A Celebration of All We Learn from One Another: An Interview with Traci Rhoades

    Doug and Pesach sit down with author and Bible study teacher, Traci Rhoades. They discuss Traci's writing and teaching, which aims to challenge people of faith to look outside their own traditions to find meaning and growth in the variety of paths to God. As Traci explains, exploring a variety of traditions expands and enriches our faith journeys and only makes us stronger believers.

Very informative

For someone like myself who grew up in the Jewish Orthodox “bubble”, this has been very enlightening for me. Great discourse between the two podcasters!
