I’m watching Trump’s cabinet members preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and thanking God that Biden-Harris-Walz are not in the White House right now. God has been good to us.

Homeschoolers are not rich. We are not “showing our privilege.” In my 40 years in the homeschool community, the majority of families I’ve known made a choice to live on one income. Smaller homes, used cars, thrifted clothes, fewer meals out, used books. It’s a deliberate choice.

We don’t homeschool just to keep our kids at home. We do it to give them a completely different life. A biblical foundation, truly Christian education, more family life, more free time, more sleep, less stress, less peer pressure, no bullying, and a real childhood.

My son, 33 friends, and 2,000 homeschool kids are at the big Texas Christian Homeschool prom tonight. I’m just sad that they don’t know how to socialize.

First day of public school in our town. Kindergarteners start school at 7:45. 7:45. 7:45. 7:45. 🙁 My kids asked to sleep in, so I let them. They do their chores, eat home cooked food, cuddle with pets, and relax. We will start our homeschool lessons at noon today. #childhood

You don’t have to send your kids back to public school on Monday. Make a clean break. Withdraw them. Start a good book as a family. Take a hike. Watch a documentary or a historical movie. Make lunch together. And start researching your curriculum options. You don’t have to set up

My mom went to be with Jesus early this morning. I am so thankful for the assurance of salvation and eternal life. “But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the

Things you can kiss goodbye when you homeschool: homework, state tests, long bus rides, endless fundraisers, bullies, busywork, chromebooks, peer pressure, mandatory vaccines, pride flags, and Marxism.

People always ask homeschoolers, “What about socialization?” Honestly, that’s one of the top reasons we homeschool: socialization on our terms, not the kind where your kid spends the majority of their day in the company of immature children.

You can homeschool your kids, starting today. In America, no one can stop you. Your children can study the Bible, play outside, spend time on their interests, kiss homework goodbye, sleep more, limit peer pressure, have less screen time, and avoid being sexually groomed. What’s

Two things my homeschooled kids won’t be subjected to this year: drop-off and pick-up lines, and sexual predators posing as teachers.

We homeschool so that we CAN shelter our kids. We shelter them from the incessant messages telling our kids that transsexuals are cool, that atheism is truth, that males are despotic, that communism is good, that pedophilia is love, and that God is dead. We are in a desperate
