A Biblical Perspective on Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims (Podcast 470)
Domestic abuse is more common than we would like to think and homeschooling families are not immune that's why I wanted to address this topic in a way that would better equip us as wives and moms. Whether it's something that's happening in your home, you suspect it is happening to someone you know or you would just like to know more for future reference, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
With compassion and kindness, Darby Strickland brings much-needed biblical clarity to this topic.

A Return to Play - Makes Parenting Easier and Preps Our Kids for the Future (Podcast 469).mp3
Not that long ago, time for unstructured play was naturally built into a child's daily rhythm. Today, it's something that we as parents have to fight for.
As a mom to eight kids, I needed my kids to spend time playing each day, for their sake and for mine. Little did I know the incredible benefits that that simple daily ritual would yield.
Today I'm chatting with Ginny Yurich from 1000 Hours Outside about the essential need our children have for play and the countless benefits both kids and parents experience from making this a priority!

Our Family’s Homesteading Story (Podcast 468)
A while back I talked about concerns I had about 2024. This episode ties into that message as I share an update on our family and answered prayers. I'll also be pulling our family experience from the past and seeing how God has tied it to our present. It really is amazing how He answers prayers in unexpected, but meaningful ways. I pray this will inspire you to keep trusting God for all things concerning your family and their future!
