Encouragement for homeschool parents
Hear from our executive director Kirk as he shares reflections on faith, character, and discipling children at home
Preparing for the New School Year
During my quarter of a century as a pastor, I did a substantial amount of marriage counseling, both pre and post. At the risk of sounding simplistic, of all the many challenges that I waded through with people, I could categorize them all in a combination of the following: Some manifestation of pride (selfishness, always right, only seeing my side,…
How to Keep the Love of Learning Alive as a Home-Schooling Parent
When you teach from home, you don’t just deliver lessons — you shape how your child relates to knowledge itself. That’s a big responsibility, but also a beautiful opportunity. A love of learning isn’t something you can force, but it’s absolutely something you can foster. The trick is leading with joy, following curiosity, and gently nudging when momentum stalls. There’s…
It’s Our Turn Now
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States…
Praying for Prosperity
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God, and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. –2 Chron. 26:5 If you ask ten different people how prosperity, prayer, and promises intersect in scripture, you will likely get ten different responses. Handling money is tricky for…
Summer School
We want to begin this newsletter with praises to God for the first-round victory with HB2827. Although the chips seemed to be stacked against us, little with God is much and much without God is little. God gave us record-breaking numbers in both attendance at the Capitol and in the number of witness slips. These numbers gave all the legislators-…
Finish Strong
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the…
The Weight of the Cross
After the Last Supper, Christ pulled away from the apostles, wrestling alone with the reality of what was soon to come. To the eternal one, the next twenty-four hours would seem like an eternity as He was fully committed to the Father’s will, willing that his physical frame be shattered beyond recognition. (Is. 53) The Creator was to be humiliated…
Concerning HB2827
Concerning HB2827, let us pray that God will show His powerful right hand and receive glory upon glory for His greatness and goodness to His people. The Lord said to Gideon, “The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ –Judges…
Only One Prayer Request for March: HB 2827
We have had a monthly day of prayer and fasting since March 2013. Why? John 15 says, “… apart from me you can do nothing.” While some trust in chariots and others trust in horses, we will trust in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalms 20:7) This month’s request may be one of our most important, especially when…
For such a time as this! Will we be willing to make the sacrifice to maintain our rights and freedoms!
For such a time as this! Will we be willing to make the sacrifice to maintain our rights and freedoms? This is the fight of this generation of homeschoolers. HB2827 has not yet been assigned to a committee. This means that next week or the week following is when the assigned committee will discuss HB2827 for the first time. We need…
