Hi Ashlee. I’m 4 minutes in this video and I had to pause to say thank you for posting this here and not only to your membership. I had to cancel all my subscriptions due to financial reasons and I really miss your membership videos. But this is exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment. I’m not a homeschool mom but it’s been heavy in heart to pull my 6 year old out of school and start homeschooling next school year. some days I’m all for it and others I have so many doubts. I’m really torn and listening to you is so encouraging. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you. 😊
I value so much the wisdom you share! I was raised in a Christian home to parents who served and ran a Christian school. Many things were modeled well, except parenting unfortunately. I know they did their best, and I am not resentful in any way. My brother, and the rest of the staff kids all feel the same, the staff kids just kind of got pushed to the side. They also left topics that partents should be teaching their kids to the school to teach us, and that didn't happen either. You (and others) have taught me some awesome lessons that I longed for from my parents. The healing has come by being able to give to my kids what I longed for. You are about 10 years ahead of me, and I truly appreciate what you share. Thank you so much!
I love this video! With my oldest 21 years old and my youngest 2 years old, I could not agree more with every one of your points in this video! When finances allow, I'll be subscribing to your membership. Thank you for paying this on your main RUclips page ❤
I was definitely taking notes!! Right now I am in the season of littles age 4, 2, 1 and another on the way. And I have been praying and asking the Lord to give me more resources in raising and discipling unto the Lord.
I agree with, and can glean from, this wisdom so much. Thank you! I’m in the tween years, almost to having a teen, and getting in to those deeper discussions and lessons. Your channel has been such a blessing to me!
Such wonderful information to take in. I will say I have never liked that quote, "You are not your child's friend." You got me to look at it differently this morning. More like, "Be your child's leader and set an example." At least that's how I took it. Definitely going to checkout World Watch News.❤
Thank you for sharing these thoughts. I appreciate your seasoned and God honouring perspective on disciplining your kids. Convicting - ‘They are watching more than I think they are!’ Great reminder.
Oh I am so grateful for this type of content here as my country does not allow for youtube premium and thus memberships. It is always encouraging to hear you speak on topics that we are so likeminded about. Great reminder to PRAY PRAY PRAY through it all. Have a blessed day!
I love this! Thank you for sharing. My greatest prayer and desire is for my children to know, love, and walk closely with the Lord all the days of their lives. He has been teaching me a lot about giving Him control over the lives of my children and trusting him fully with their future. It’s not an easy lesson to learn as a mom seeing all the craziness happening in the world. One of my children is also autistic so that adds an extra element of worry and opportunity to allow fear to creep in.
I was just thinking about this area in our homeschool this morning & what I could incorporate, then saw this notification pop up. I needed this so much! Thank you for your wisdom & sharing this 💕
This is exactly the content I need. I think you just sold me on a membership! I'm in my 4th year of homeschooling and when I searched the RUclips world for homeschooling advice back then, you were the one who helped me in starting my journey. ❤
I’m so glad you posted this! I’ve been struggling with this topic…my oldest is 12 unfortunately has heard things from friends ( who are public schooled)at church ( we’ve always homeschooled) that are just mind blowing and so upsetting that I e had to answer questions. My child has been very disturbed by some of these things and it breaks my heart. My child is saved and is very serious about Christ. I’m struggling with HOW I handle this with it being said from church friends!
I dfinitely agree about guarding our children's hearts. I feel like it takes on greater importance in the teen years, especially with all the confusion and messaging geared towards our children about gender and identity, not to mention how they are relating more through technology than in person. Such a generational difference than when I was growing up. Imparting the necessity of using a discerning heart and mind and turning toward the Lord for guidance is a daily exercise. Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement!
Thanks, very much needed!!! You have a very focused and determined mindset. Maybe you can do a video on staying focused on goals with a whole world full of distractions.
I absolutely loved this video! I had you playing in the background while working on homeschool things. If anyone was in here with me, they would be like… “are you her hype man?” 😂
We just got back from a trip to the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum! It was incredible to hear Ken Ham speak! I am definitely going to be adding apologetics to our Homeschool 😊 Do you have any recommendations for a starter resource? My kiddos range from ages 8 - 15.
Thank you!! Lately, with all the things in the world going on, and our difficulties in our home, I will open up my Instagram just to see what you have e to say and then I’m done. You are an encouragement! I needed the fire to be lit again. Not that we’ve stopped doing these things but to just reignite the passion. ❤
I have an almost 8yr old boy and a 5yr old girl. I feel like we need to start safe body talks with him specifically, I purchased God's Design for Sex series just feeling unsure if it's the right time. We will definitely start with book 1 even at his age because of immaturity.
My oldest is 15 and has gotten his permit. He's begging for a job and a cell phone with internet but we have said no to both until he is 16. It's hard being the parent sometimes because I hate saying no lol. We love masterbooks resources for apologetics. Apologetics is one of our main focuses in our homeschool. This world is too anti God for christian families not to focus on it
One question, don't you believe in the "billions of years staff" like you say? I found the problem in Geology and the age of certain stone formations not only in the evolution of species.
@@GraceandGrit The question was because we saw a documentary about the construction of the Empire State Building some months ago. It talks about the stone that was utilized on the façade. Indiana limestone was formed from calcium carbonate deposits that were deposited over millions of years as marine fossils decayed. At that time, I was happy to have never taught a young Earth.
I wish I had wiggle room in my budget because this type of content, love, encouragement, and advice is what I desperately need in life right now.
Same, we have cut out many subscriptions lately. Hopefully the inflation will go down the next 4 years!
Brighter days ahead!
Yes, yes, and yes to all that you said!!! Thank you, Ashley! ❤

Start with answers in Genesis for kids, and then teens!
Never clicked on a video so fast! Just the type of video I needed ❤

No, I believe in a young earth and always have.

Yes, that verse is not for children. Jesus was an adult when he started his ministry! Why send a boy to do a mans job???!!
Correct!
