I'm so glad my mother homeschooled me. I was so lost, so far away from the Lord. I'm 16 now, and I'm so glad God guided me on the straight and narrow path. My Mother was 30 when she properly found Jesus, and I'm so GRATEFUL the Father has caught me at such a young age 🥺
I am a second generation homeschooler. It was such a gift to not only be taught and shown the ways of the Lord within our home, but the gift of the time we got with each other as siblings was something I will forever hold dear to my heart. We were all given the gift of being together and learning together, and it’s a gift that I am giving to my little ones as well. Such a wonderful journey! ❤❤
My kids go to school 2 days a ❤week and home the rest they have social interaction at church and kids in our neighborhood. We are family thay spends alot of time together that volunteers at our church. My kids are so amazing
How much of this so-called socializing do kids in school really get ? You sit behind a desk for hours most of the time in silence, you walk to a class in between, maybe in P.e. and lunch you talk to people. And even those people you get to socialize with during that time, they might not be your best people around. I'm just saying ...
Would love more info on all of this. Homeschooling has been heavy on my heart and do believe if it’s the right decision, God will equip me but still feel a little anxious at the thought so more wisdom on it all would be amazing. Thank you for sharing!
As someone who’s having their first child, this was so comforting to hear! I truly admire both of you & how you’re raising your children to know the Lord.
I just wanted to write a little comment as an encouragement. I feel like Milena has a lot of wisdom to share but she's often getting interrupted and then it starts to feel a little disjointed like she isn't able to finish her thought and share from her heart with us. Finding a smoother way to transition between both of your your talking points would be much better from a listener perspective.
They’ve been married a while, they know how to talk together. Sure things might not look or be perfect all the time but they’ll figure it out themselves :)
I agree, I like the content but Jordans monologues are difficult to listen to when they go on for minutes at a time. A conversation would flow better for the listeners!
I love love loved this episode so much! I was that snarky intellectually dishonest atheist for the majority of my life and made it my personality to go on about how God doesn’t exist. And obviously I did a 180 thanks to God’s love and grace. While I became an atheist due to my home country’s communist upbringing, I know so many Christians, my husband included who were raised with the right kind of intentions but not enough heart about the Bible. So when they left for college, they embraced the indoctrination of atheism. Thankfully he found God again, but I know so many who haven’t. The systems of the world view God as very dangerous to their own agendas and have it to a T to disprove his existence and brainwash children out of the truth. Which is why we need to not be casual/ only cultural about our faith like so many families have been in the 90s and early 2000. You guys are doing a great job!
We are praying over schooling our children currently. We live overseas due to my husband being in military. My heart breaks for the education system in America… I am praying that I am good enough to teach my own children. I feel so inadequate because I’m somewhat new to faith. I wish I was raised in the church more so I could teach them so much more, but I know my testimony is meant to glorify God. I am learning so much over the past few years. I would love a wonderful homeschool community or even a private school when we move back. There is a GREAT homeschooling community on our base here and I just feel so nervous to go back to America. Please pray for me & my husband as we navigate educating our children!
This is my hearts desire - to homeschool. I’m actually a private Christian school teacher and I love it… but my daughter is 2 and I would love to be home with her again ❤
Same! My husband and I don’t have any kids yet but we both work in education. I teach kindergarten part time at a private Christian school and my husband teaches at a public high school. Our desire is to home school. With each passing day our desire for that and building up our home has grown.
You guys keep me saturated in God whether it’s help with raising my Boys or unraveling things in the Bible that I wasn’t taught! I appreciate and look forward to this channel and Milena channel so much!
I’ve been praying for a sign whether to really dive in with homeschooling for the first time for my 5 year old, as I’ve thought about a lot of points you mentioned but didn’t have the biblical knowledge behind it. Thank you guys for this episode and your obedience to the Lord ❤️
I homeschooled my kindergarten daughter this year for the first time (she was in VPK last year) with conviction from the Lord to do it. It was such a blessing this year, and she and I have bonded so much! I highly recommend it. If you do it with the right intentions there is a guarantee of bonding with your child and watching their minds grow and learn by your side (they are blessings from God).
Love this so much. My husband & I decided to homeschool too. We have a 5 & 3 year old. & I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of comments we get when we tell people. It’s either a good response or more so the “you’re not afraid they will be weird” responses. This was so awesome & I would LOVE a part 2! Congratulations on baby ciciotti. Praying you all are doing well & transitioning well. God bless you all. & also thank you so much for spreading gods word & just sharing this. We need more of it! ❤
God invented the family to teach socialization. Family ideally is a safe place to learn to love, to share, to communicate, to fail etc You should be included, accepted, believed in, corrected and never be an outcast in spite of your weaknesses and immaturity. My parents divorced when I was 3. My brother and I didn't get along. My mom worked and wasn't home to help us negotiate. Because of these things, I have struggled to communicate and negotiate with my husband and children. I didn't have a healthy intact family, multiple siblings, or a marriage modeled in front of me. Children hating you for every reason and no reason at public school was and is a terrible way to learn to socialize. It's all pecking order, popularity, and rejection. Unless you're 1 of the 3 popular people in class.
I have looked into homeschooling for my kids for since 2020, once I came back to church and started teaching my children i wanted to do homeschooling even more. But in the state I live in, they make it extremely hard for anyone who looks or wants to homeschool. The school my daughter is in is charter but I’ve made it a point to put on the app you guys made, and in the morning on the ride home she reads part of the Bible. And when she has questions like creation etc, I take it to the Bible and I let her know the enemy all he tries is to confuse and distort God truth. At 8 I tell her to pray for discernment due to going to school, so that when something isn’t true or right the Holy Spirit will let her know
It’s so clear that you have not been to university. University teaches sciences. Professors are too busy to care about what the beliefs of pupils are. You’re telling me that a Professor who teaches cardiology is interested to care whether somebody is Muslim or Christian
i love your podcasts so family focused and its inspiring. So many ideas you guys give and just the reasoning behind why you guys are changing what you guys grew up with. Our family is doing the same thing. This year was my first year homeschooling we did (classical conversations) are it was not intimidating or challenging as i excepted it to be my child was 4 now 5 and he is doing amazing. I felt so judged by family and friends by deciding not to participate in Halloween or Christmas and even when we decided to homeschool everyone was like why. Im so at peace with direction God is leading our family and bringing new community to us because YES its so keyy!!! Please continue with these type of podcasts(family marriage ect) since growing up in a broken home i have struggled with everything and always looking for Godly wisdom!
I'm not against homeschooling but I'm curious what you would say to the families out there who can't financially afford for a parent to stay home / have the mental or capabilities to do that? Public school is awful but unfortunately it's the only option for most families in the time we're in.
Look up Freedom Schools! They are like homeschooling co-ops that are either free or very affordable, and are Christian-based ✝️🕊️ There are a couple of these and other excellent Christian schools around me in the Chicago suburbs!
*I also believe scientisism is a religion.* The etymology of the word _science_ is _know_ or _knowledge._ People worship and give their every thought and lifestyle to what they "know" and or what "experts" know. They put this knowledge above the Creator or all things. _but of the tree of the_ *knowledge* _of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Genesis 2:17_ GREAT EPISODE! I was clapping the whole time. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I think it's smart to first retreat. You don't kids to absorb the worldly things. But I do agree the education system needs to be dismantled and restart fresh with the Lord.
Because children are barely saved themselves, they're not ready to face peer pressure. Because of smart phones and porn. Because of the transgender issue. Because of sharing the bathroom and locker room with children of the opposite gender. Because of indoctrination in abortion, homosexuality, and feminism.
Maybe because we’re training the next generations to step in and do so since they’ll be more equipped than we were ever raised to. We weren’t raised in todays world, we’re unlearning so many of the worldly ways because that’s what happened. so we teach our kids from the mistakes the last generations implemented on us. And our children will make that change with God as their armor 🕊🤍
Retreating is also a noble and good battle strategy. When the enemy has the upper hand and is taking out your side millions at a time, it is not prudent to keep your remaining people on a lossing battle field. Retreating can give time for rejuvenation, strategy, and rebuilding forces at homebase to regain strength, conviction, and train better not just for battle but the whole war.
@@TwiFiveGirls101Yes! A lot of young people don't get through college with their faith and convictions intact. How do we expect little 5, 6, and 7 year old children to stand against the lies and indoc.?
We do have different laws around the world regarding attending of school. The bible tells us to listen to the authority of the state. In Germany you have to go to school around 6 years old. School is usually from morning to midday so not the whole day. Before school you can attend kindergarten but you don’t have to send your kids there. So options vary also where you live in the world. Thanks for your work! I really appreciate your content. By the way I am happy, I‘ve learned English in school so I can listen to your Content! 😊
Would love to hear more on this topic. I've felt compelled to homeschool from time to time... my kids arent school age yet, but my daughter is 4, so a decision needs to be made. I believe homeschooling is the best route in incorporating faith and Jesus into her education, but I also feel unequipped. I've been a believer for as long as i can remember, but I am still working on my first read through the bible. I know God doesnt expect us to be perfect, that he chooses us as parents for our child, but homeschooling is very intimidating and I dont know where to start.
I loves this video and i would also love for you to make a video about the earths age! I try to explain to other Christian’s that the earth is not billions of years old and they just don’t get it. I’m sure y’all can articulate it better than I can and I can share that wisdom! ❤️❤️ thanks for all that you do and congratulations on your new baby! ❤️❤️
I would love to know your thoughts of Christian educators working in public schools. We're not teaching Christian children necessarily so is it fine to teach the way of the world as a Christian?
Loved this! Thank you both! Jordan your wisdom and unshakable faith is so admirable and you have a true gift for teaching. I have learnt so much from your explanations!
Keep up the good work ❤ love you guys, I've been Milena's subscriber from like so many years and now we're listening to your podcast with my husband 😍 you're such a blessing, seeing you grow and get wiser every year is the best ❤ congratulations on 5th baby Ciciotti
Thank you guys for sharing & encouraging myself & others to take charge of our children’s education! KEEP GOING!! 👏🏼 I would love if u guys shared more in depth how you teach your kids too , my baby is still too little but I want to start preparing for when she’s older bc I want her to Learn the truth 🤞🏼
We are a Christian home , my children are schooled on Christ by myself. They do go to public school. They have a strong conviction and know the lord. They are equipped with the ability to have enough evidence to make points when they need too at this age in elementary school. However the time when we all worry is high school. That’s where even the best Christian’s are tested. I’m hopeful that your bible stories app is going to be a wonderful addition to our morning routine in the car. My oldest is 11 so I’m hoping I didn’t miss the boat with his age for these stories.
Hi Milena, could you do an update on homeschooling. Are you still using The Good and the Beautiful? Any good Christian poetry books for kids? Would love to see/hear more about how you home school❤
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Some things I agree with and some I don’t… but to be honest lately you guys are really losing me. I feel like Jordan talks over Milena and talks in circles. 😵💫 I just can’t at all connect with “anything outside of the Bible is not true” but my husband is a Doctor and I’m a Teacher (public school).. soo 🙄🤷🏽♀️ what does that make us???? 😂 (individuals who dearly love our community and giving back.) However I do have a question, for really anyone who is Christian and homeschools. Would you actively discourage your kids from pursuing a college level education?
Well a homeschool perk is to focus much more time on child’s interest. Electives, job study, volunteering. If they really know their career path and it happened to require a college degree they should go get that degree . I personally am highly supportive of trades . Hard to find , excellent money, opportunity for entrepreneurship, flexible hours…
I would encourage them as long as they wanted a degree that they would put to use. Such as Doctors or nurses, lawyers ect. Otherwise I'd encourage them to go to trade school. But there's some degrees I'd be worried about them going to college for years, getting into huge debt, and it being in something that won't support them or pay the bills. I don't think its wrong to send kids to public school, but we as Christians definitely need to make sure we are prepared to answer tough questions and pour deeply into their lives when they are at home with the Word of God and his truth.
Not everyone has the privilege to home school either . I think public school is also good because they get social skills and their are lots of activities and good teachers out there you just have to find right school for you
it is a choice and for most people it requires a lot of sacrifice such as financial, lifestyle,time. for example, some people who prioritize it may choose to move to lower cost of living area, not buy material things that are not necessary, live in a smaller house, maybe take a night shift 2nd job, and/or give up their second source of income.
Paintings and buildings don’t create themselves, right? How about the intricacies and synchronicity of life? It cannot all be coincidence how everything flows together perfectly in nature.
My question is where do you guys get this information? My husband and I were saved by Jesus 3 years ago and would LOVE to find a church that could guide us into a deeper understanding of God’s word and how to live that out.
I’d be interested in hearing about the old/young earth thoughts. I heard it mentioned briefly on RUclips on the Now That We Are a Family podcast but they didn’t elaborate on it and that was the first time I ever heard of that in my 36 years of life. Before then I had only ever heard of what the public schools teach of with the millions/billions of years which always has been hard for me to wrap my head around.
I love the sound of homeschooling but I don't feel like I have the time and it's not really a necessity. In the Netherlands we are blessed with schools that are basically an extension of the church you go to... I hope it will last... aren't there any christian schools in the US? How does that work?
There are private schools in the US but they usually cost a lot of money, so they are usually sent to public school if they are unable to homeschool them.
I would love to use your Bible for kids. I was amazed when I heard the first story BUT I cannot actually use it with my kid because we are from Greece and she doesn't understand English😢. Please consider translating it to other languages! Even though we are a Christian country we don't have much resource in such depth for kids! We sadly stuck only on basic teachings like you mentioned in the video. I'd love to hear that there would be a possibility for us to have access to your app too!
I would be interested to hear your take on the age of the Earth. I recently heard some talks from Frank Turek (a well known apologist) and he has some interesting takes on the earth’s creation and timeline. From what I understand, he said he believes in the ‘big bang’ but that it was God who “banged it”… lol, his words. So he seems to follow what science says, but gives credit to God. Since Genesis starts with ‘in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ it leaves room for one to decide how long those were existing before the rest of the 6 day creation. I personally lean towards more of a ‘flat biblical Earth’ of younger age view. But I’d love to hear your thoughts on all of that!
Hi, ik you guys may not see this comment because of your amazing baby that came into the world. I do have a question though. I am wondering if you guys could give out valuable resources to help parents who may be skeptical of homeschooling or those who want to start homeschooling, but may not know where start? I think it is amazing how passionate you both are about this topic because i am too. Although whenever i get married and have my kids, idk how im going to homeschool them because I bareful knew how to learn myself, specifically during elementary lol! I hope this makes sense. Blessings!
Asking for a friend: what if Mom and Dad are not in the same boat about homeschooling? What advice could you give for the Mom who’s all hands on deck but also drowning on the mundane tasks + caring for 7 children (14y-3m) and Dad is somewhat stuck on only being the provider? Thankful for both of you and congratulations on baby Ciciotti! 🤎
Prayer for wisdom of the marriage, prayer for acceptance of roles, prayer for the husband to lead the family (not just provide). Note on homeschooling: there are a lot of free resources just search and cater to what information your children should be learning. I have yet to buy a curriculum for my 4yo but learning so much
If your health and pregnancy/breastfeeding status allow, fast and pray. Be reading things like Charlotte Mason to prepare in the event he comes around. Social media, transgenderism, smart phones have changed the landscape of public school. Do those issues concern him? Do you have any friends that he respects that homeschool. Anyway, pray more than push. Make your private time with the Lord your #1 priority. You can't give what you haven't got. It's the ultimate "self care" to help you cope.
I'm on the same page with you. Except, when I decided to homeschool our kids I didn't care what my husband's opinion was about it. I just did it. I knew what the Lord was calling me to do as their Mama. I know going against what he wants isn't right, but I already saw where public school was going at the time. And it's only gotten worse. My husband thinks homeschool equals laziness, being antisocial, and non educated. And it doesn't help that his entire family talks horribly about me for homeschooling.
Jordan, you mentioned kids asking questions about the world or faith or whatever to their Bible teacher and not getting an answer but wouldn’t that happen eventually? Isn’t that how you learn to back up and strengthen your faith? Idk I just feel like you guys live in a bubble sometimes and that’s fine for you and maybe that’s the ‘goal’ but that isn’t plausible for so many.
Hi Milena, I've been a subscriber for years. I wanted to give you both kuddos for this informative podcast. I really get a lot out of it. So thank you. Just wanted to let you know that at 9:09 time mark you started using a hand gesture that symbolizes something bad. This hand symbol is not of the Lord. I say it respectfully and as a sister in Christ. Iron sharpens iron.
As somebody who is studying to be a teacher, this is so sad, professors don't have time to worry about what their students believe in. Yes, there are issues with public schools but there are also so many issues with what was said here, I would push you both to step outside of the bubble you currently live in cause you just sound naive, especially with the science part. No hate
You guys always act like you are mightier than all. You don’t even have any kids that are of actual “homeschool” age. Please save this for others that have actual experience. What a joke.

1- find out your state laws
2- find your teaching style (homeschool style quizzes online)
3- pick a curriculum that goes with That style :)
Right?!! Feeling the same way lately

School is usually from morning to midday so not the whole day. Before school you can attend kindergarten but you don’t have to send your kids there.
So options vary also where you live in the world.
Thanks for your work! I really appreciate your content. By the way I am happy, I‘ve learned English in school so I can listen to your Content! 😊
As the poem by William Ross Wallace says - "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World".
we should make sure it is our hand...
Would love to hear more on this topic. I've felt compelled to homeschool from time to time... my kids arent school age yet, but my daughter is 4, so a decision needs to be made. I believe homeschooling is the best route in incorporating faith and Jesus into her education, but I also feel unequipped. I've been a believer for as long as i can remember, but I am still working on my first read through the bible. I know God doesnt expect us to be perfect, that he chooses us as parents for our child, but homeschooling is very intimidating and I dont know where to start.
I loves this video and i would also love for you to make a video about the earths age! I try to explain to other Christian’s that the earth is not billions of years old and they just don’t get it. I’m sure y’all can articulate it better than I can and I can share that wisdom! ❤️❤️ thanks for all that you do and congratulations on your new baby! ❤️❤️
Does anyone know what she had,boy or girl??
Love this!!! Can you guys PLEASE do a video on your thoughts on flat earth?!
I would love to know your thoughts of Christian educators working in public schools. We're not teaching Christian children necessarily so is it fine to teach the way of the world as a Christian?
We actually have picked out our favorite scriptures as we were building our house and put is on our door frame!
Loved this! Thank you both! Jordan your wisdom and unshakable faith is so admirable and you have a true gift for teaching. I have learnt so much from your explanations!
Keep up the good work ❤ love you guys, I've been Milena's subscriber from like so many years and now we're listening to your podcast with my husband 😍 you're such a blessing, seeing you grow and get wiser every year is the best ❤ congratulations on 5th baby Ciciotti
Kat Williams is very well rounded and intellectual. So that was ignorant to say “of all people”.
Thank you guys for sharing & encouraging myself & others to take charge of our children’s education! KEEP GOING!! 👏🏼 I would love if u guys shared more in depth how you teach your kids too , my baby is still too little but I want to start preparing for when she’s older bc I want her to Learn the truth 🤞🏼
We are a Christian home , my children are schooled on Christ by myself. They do go to public school. They have a strong conviction and know the lord. They are equipped with the ability to have enough evidence to make points when they need too at this age in elementary school. However the time when we all worry is high school. That’s where even the best Christian’s are tested. I’m hopeful that your bible stories app is going to be a wonderful addition to our morning routine in the car. My oldest is 11 so I’m hoping I didn’t miss the boat with his age for these stories.
Hi Milena, could you do an update on homeschooling. Are you still using The Good and the Beautiful? Any good Christian poetry books for kids? Would love to see/hear more about how you home school❤
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Some things I agree with and some I don’t… but to be honest lately you guys are really losing me. I feel like Jordan talks over Milena and talks in circles. 😵💫 I just can’t at all connect with “anything outside of the Bible is not true” but my husband is a Doctor and I’m a Teacher (public school).. soo 🙄🤷🏽♀️ what does that make us???? 😂 (individuals who dearly love our community and giving back.)
However I do have a question, for really anyone who is Christian and homeschools. Would you actively discourage your kids from pursuing a college level education?
Well a homeschool perk is to focus much more time on child’s interest. Electives, job study, volunteering. If they really know their career path and it happened to require a college degree they should go get that degree . I personally am highly supportive of trades . Hard to find , excellent money, opportunity for entrepreneurship, flexible hours…
I would encourage them as long as they wanted a degree that they would put to use. Such as Doctors or nurses, lawyers ect. Otherwise I'd encourage them to go to trade school. But there's some degrees I'd be worried about them going to college for years, getting into huge debt, and it being in something that won't support them or pay the bills. I don't think its wrong to send kids to public school, but we as Christians definitely need to make sure we are prepared to answer tough questions and pour deeply into their lives when they are at home with the Word of God and his truth.
Congrats on the new baby! ❤
CAN I PLEASE LIKE THESE VIDEO 10000000000 times?????? ❤
Not everyone has the privilege to home school either . I think public school is also good because they get social skills and their are lots of activities and good teachers out there you just have to find right school for you
It’s a choice. There are single working parents that homeschool. Just because something isn’t easy doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
it is a choice and for most people it requires a lot of sacrifice such as financial, lifestyle,time. for example, some people who prioritize it may choose to move to lower cost of living area, not buy material things that are not necessary, live in a smaller house, maybe take a night shift 2nd job, and/or give up their second source of income.
Wouldn’t it be the same if a household can’t afford a 2nd car to drive kids to school ? I think that’s a positive privilege in itself.
@@MolarCravingsT H I S!!!!!
Wait, how is it undeniable that there’s a creator??? How could you possibly prove that?
Paintings and buildings don’t create themselves, right? How about the intricacies and synchronicity of life? It cannot all be coincidence how everything flows together perfectly in nature.
My question is where do you guys get this information? My husband and I were saved by Jesus 3 years ago and would LOVE to find a church that could guide us into a deeper understanding of God’s word and how to live that out.
Part 2 please 🤗
I’d be interested in hearing about the old/young earth thoughts. I heard it mentioned briefly on RUclips on the Now That We Are a Family podcast but they didn’t elaborate on it and that was the first time I ever heard of that in my 36 years of life. Before then I had only ever heard of what the public schools teach of with the millions/billions of years which always has been hard for me to wrap my head around.
Creation Ministries is a fantastic website with resources into this :)
Can’t wait for part 2! ❤
I love the sound of homeschooling but I don't feel like I have the time and it's not really a necessity. In the Netherlands we are blessed with schools that are basically an extension of the church you go to... I hope it will last... aren't there any christian schools in the US? How does that work?
There are private schools in the US but they usually cost a lot of money, so they are usually sent to public school if they are unable to homeschool them.
I would love to use your Bible for kids. I was amazed when I heard the first story BUT I cannot actually use it with my kid because we are from Greece and she doesn't understand English😢. Please consider translating it to other languages! Even though we are a Christian country we don't have much resource in such depth for kids! We sadly stuck only on basic teachings like you mentioned in the video. I'd love to hear that there would be a possibility for us to have access to your app too!
The intro song to this podcast is becoming a core sensory memory 😂
I would be interested to hear your take on the age of the Earth. I recently heard some talks from Frank Turek (a well known apologist) and he has some interesting takes on the earth’s creation and timeline. From what I understand, he said he believes in the ‘big bang’ but that it was God who “banged it”… lol, his words. So he seems to follow what science says, but gives credit to God. Since Genesis starts with ‘in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ it leaves room for one to decide how long those were existing before the rest of the 6 day creation. I personally lean towards more of a ‘flat biblical Earth’ of younger age view. But I’d love to hear your thoughts on all of that!
Hi, ik you guys may not see this comment because of your amazing baby that came into the world. I do have a question though. I am wondering if you guys could give out valuable resources to help parents who may be skeptical of homeschooling or those who want to start homeschooling, but may not know where start? I think it is amazing how passionate you both are about this topic because i am too. Although whenever i get married and have my kids, idk how im going to homeschool them because I bareful knew how to learn myself, specifically during elementary lol! I hope this makes sense. Blessings!
Way to be BOLD!!
Loved this! Thank you ❤
Hope your doing well with your new little one ❤
Asking for a friend: what if Mom and Dad are not in the same boat about homeschooling? What advice could you give for the Mom who’s all hands on deck but also drowning on the mundane tasks + caring for 7 children (14y-3m) and Dad is somewhat stuck on only being the provider? Thankful for both of you and congratulations on baby Ciciotti! 🤎
Prayer for wisdom of the marriage, prayer for acceptance of roles, prayer for the husband to lead the family (not just provide).
Note on homeschooling: there are a lot of free resources just search and cater to what information your children should be learning.
I have yet to buy a curriculum for my 4yo but learning so much
If your health and pregnancy/breastfeeding status allow, fast and pray. Be reading things like Charlotte Mason to prepare in the event he comes around. Social media, transgenderism, smart phones have changed the landscape of public school. Do those issues concern him? Do you have any friends that he respects that homeschool. Anyway, pray more than push. Make your private time with the Lord your #1 priority. You can't give what you haven't got. It's the ultimate "self care" to help you cope.
I'm on the same page with you. Except, when I decided to homeschool our kids I didn't care what my husband's opinion was about it. I just did it. I knew what the Lord was calling me to do as their Mama. I know going against what he wants isn't right, but I already saw where public school was going at the time. And it's only gotten worse. My husband thinks homeschool equals laziness, being antisocial, and non educated. And it doesn't help that his entire family talks horribly about me for homeschooling.
As someone who is maybe a little naive to how an agenda is pusched onto our children - what agenda do you mean?
Love the response to when someone says “It’s 2024….” 😂
What do you guys of spanking and what 'the rod' means? Please help❤😮
❤❤
What to do when homeschooling is illegal in your country 😢
Also no wonder the number is rising as they continue to take God out of school 🥲
Jordan, you mentioned kids asking questions about the world or faith or whatever to their Bible teacher and not getting an answer but wouldn’t that happen eventually? Isn’t that how you learn to back up and strengthen your faith?
Idk I just feel like you guys live in a bubble sometimes and that’s fine for you and maybe that’s the ‘goal’ but that isn’t plausible for so many.
would love to hear if the Bible actually supports flat earth
No hate but I feel like y'all never actually get to the topic of your podcasts
Hi Milena, I've been a subscriber for years. I wanted to give you both kuddos for this informative podcast. I really get a lot out of it. So thank you. Just wanted to let you know that at 9:09 time mark you started using a hand gesture that symbolizes something bad. This hand symbol is not of the Lord. I say it respectfully and as a sister in Christ. Iron sharpens iron.
She's italian stop being racist she can do what she wants with the Lord's will.
As somebody who is studying to be a teacher, this is so sad, professors don't have time to worry about what their students believe in. Yes, there are issues with public schools but there are also so many issues with what was said here, I would push you both to step outside of the bubble you currently live in cause you just sound naive, especially with the science part. No hate
You guys always act like you are mightier than all. You don’t even have any kids that are of actual “homeschool” age. Please save this for others that have actual experience. What a joke.
I’m in need of someone to guide me through the whole homeschooling thing 🥲 idk where to start.
