What Should We Do?

What Should We Do?

2020-11-2537:58

This past week I have been wrestling. Wrestling with my Christian response to everything that is happening right now in our government, in our country, in our province. God, when do I stand, when do I wait? The biggest thing I am personally feeling (and I do believe we all have to go to God […] The post What Should We Do? appeared first on Homeschool On.
Put On Your Blinders

Put On Your Blinders

2020-11-1830:29

Have you ever faced a season in your life where you just feel lost in a sea of mud? Maybe you are facing judgement and condemnation, maybe you are feeling pressured or rejected, maybe you are busy and overwhelmed. Whatever the situation is, the idea of running your race can feel downright daunting. In today’s […] The post #75 Put on Your Blinders… appeared first on Homeschool On.
Today’s episode is all about the tongue. In our reading through the rest of 1 Samuel this week and David’s psalms and praises, I have been so struck by the power of our words. From declaring who God is, to declaring to our soul, to speaking truth, to being for peace… it can be incredibly […] The post #74 The Power of Life and Death appeared first on Homeschool On.
In our Bible reading plan (which you can download for free by the way) we have been reading about David, who was known as being a man after God’s own heart. And it made me ponder why. Why was he called that? Who were the “greats” in the Bible, the fierce women in the Bible, […] The post #73 A Woman After God’s Own Heart appeared first on Homeschool On.

He is Close

I actually recorded this podcast last week but have been so busy I never got around to posting it. For anyone wanting the most instantaneous podcast updates, I am now posting them first in my free app: Gather ‘Round Homeschool as soon as they are done simply because I don’t have to write a blog […] The post #72 He Is Close appeared first on Homeschool On.
It’s been a long time guys. I’m tired: 3 launches this month and 2 next, online conventions and the insanity of covid-19. I edit, I write, I pray, I homeschool, I don’t cook very often these days so I send Jonathan out to buy food, a lot. Then it starts all over again the next […] The post #71 Why I Think Our View of Education is Broken appeared first on Homeschool On.
And Yet... God is Good

And Yet... God is Good

2020-03-1825:00

Even in the storm, he is good. Even in caronavirus, he is good. Today’s episode is a bit different than some of my others. We talk about the current situation that is impacting everyone everywhere in this completely new way and my thoughts on it. I tie in what I’ve been learning in Job and […] The post #70 And Yet… God is Good appeared first on Homeschool On.
Awe and Wonder

Awe and Wonder

2020-03-1131:22

Welcome to our first podcast about our Read Through the Bible in a Year plan! I am fascinated by Genesis. Beginnings are telling, are they not? We get a glimpse not just at a different time period, but of a different set of rules. A set of rules where there was no sickness, where the […] The post #69 Awe and Wonder appeared first on Homeschool On.
Spiritual Authority

Spiritual Authority

2020-03-0541:46

Spiritual authority: what does that mean and what does it look like? Do you ever feel tired of praying for something and feeling like your prayers aren’t powerful? Today’s episode is my musings on spiritual authority and what I feel God has taught me about this topic. It isn’t about praying a certain way or […] The post #68 Spiritual Authority appeared first on Homeschool On.
Read through the Bible

Read through the Bible

2020-02-2325:56

Today I am so incredibly excited to be announcing the release of the completely free chronological bible reading plan that I created. This has been something God laid on my heart a few months ago that I put on the shelf but I have felt really strongly that this is supposed to happen so here it […] The post #67 GODCAST: Read through the Bible with Me appeared first on Homeschool On.
New Direction

New Direction

2020-02-1744:13

Today I talked about everything, just processing all the changes, all the things I think God is calling me into for this blog, podcast, page, group, etc. and where that all came from. I talk about my testimony, I share my heart for why worldview matters, I talked about my speaking schedule, the plan for […] The post #66 New Direction appeared first on Homeschool On.
I got nothing, no fancy blog post, no fancy pictures. But I figure I can post this episode or I can wait until I have time to blog about it. In today’s episode I interview my 6 year old daughter, and then I finish it off with my thoughts on our interview. If you are […] The post #65 Homeschooling in the Early Years appeared first on Homeschool On.
From the earliest I can remember, I was a “Christian”. The word itself grades on me. I feel like it doesn’t mean what it should mean, I feel like it doesn’t accurately portray my relationship with God. You see, I am not a go to church on Sunday, pray when life is hard, ask God […] The post #64 Godcast: Intimacy with God appeared first on Homeschool On.
Someone, somewhere out there, is going to be offended by my title. And if you are offended by my title, you will MOST definitely be offended by my examples in today’s podcast episode. Addicted to curriculum, something we laugh about and yet something that can have serious damaging effects on our homeschool journey: discontent, lack […] The post #63 Confessions of a Curriculum Junkie appeared first on Homeschool On.
Earlier this week I posted a podcast episode where I promised a mid-week special. It is late, but it is here! Today’s podcast is a Godcast… it’s all about Him. I hardly mention the word homeschooling so I want to make sure that everyone knows I’m going deep and wide today and am not staying […] The post #62 Godcast: Dream and Plod appeared first on Homeschool On.

Homeschool Joy

2019-11-1131:38

I am hesitating. It is 9am, hours after my podcast normally goes live and here I sit convincing myself that this one should just sit on the bench. But somewhere along the way, I have learned that it is often these posts, these videos, these podcasts that I don’t want to post, that I doubt… […] The post #61 Homeschool Joy appeared first on Homeschool On.
Unqualified

Unqualified

2019-11-0428:48

Unqualified. It’s just a word, but it is also a judgement based on someone’s opinion. What qualifies you to teach your children or walk in your ministry or help anyone with anything? If we are always looking to someone to qualify us, stamp us with their seal of approval, our qualifications are fickle and in […] The post #60 Unqualified appeared first on Homeschool On.
What is a real life homeschool day in your home? If you’re anything like me, it doesn’t mimic the YouTube videos we see with the cutesy little music and the smiling mom with the pristine house. Maybe you are homeschooling crammed around your kitchen table with crumbs on your books, or maybe you are working […] The post # 59 The Real Homeschoolers of North America appeared first on Homeschool On.
True story, I am 100% loading this without writing just to get it up for you guys. I also didn’t really mention any links but I will come back and write a bit before I share it tomorrow socially.

How did a girl who got married when she was 19, had no college or university degree and greatest desire was to just be a mom and homeschool her kids get where I am today? How did I write books and start writing Bible curriculum? How did I start a blog and grow it to […] The post #57 My Story appeared first on Homeschool On.

Rebecca, This is my first podcasts of yours that I have listened to and, I have to confess, before I (recently) purchased your curriculum I had the same question about you: What qualifies you? You & I are the same age. We have the same number of children. I am certaininly NOT qualified. How are you? But when I printed the curriculum it was clear: GOD has qualified you! and today I was reading "When I am weak (and I am SO WEAK) then I am strong". The same is true: When I am unqualified then I am qualified. Praise the Lord! It is He who qualifies us! He is faithful! 🙌 Thank you got everything you are doing! 😘

Jesus is ever new and ever fresh, so we need Him, we need to spend time with Him every day. I agree. He put this desire in us.

I had to write down what I liked, workbooks and Adapted Mind Science so I don't buy a ton more things I may not use. I try to sell the stuff I'm not using but but not many buyers but I don't want to lower my price yet.

Wonderful testimony! Wonderful to see how the Lord is working through you and making things possible for you! May the Lord continue to bless you! I have been prayerfully considering blogging for about 3 years now as a possible career path. This podcast helped me to understand how it can be made possible as a homeschooling mom of 3. Little by little and step by step God had been leading me.
