Journey Through Homeschooling

This week on the Journey Through Homeschooling podcast Jami and Adonna discuss discerning God’s good, perfect, and pleasing will for homeschooling, especially when a curriculum, method, or opportunity looks good but doesn’t feel right for a particular family. Their discussion explores how to “mind the checks,” seek wisdom through Scripture and prayer, and resist the pressure to copy what friends or culture expect. If you are wondering if God has a plan for your homeschool, join the conversation now.

Homeschooling can fill every hour with lessons, laundry, meals, and the needs of everyone else. In this episode, Jami Thornsberry and Adonna Pryor talk honestly about the guilt that can come with resting, the burnout that follows when quiet time disappears, and the small routines that helped them reset. From weekly childcare and peaceful walks to an hour with everyone’s feet off the floor, audiobooks, family support, and moms’ nights out, they share practical ways to care for yourself without stepping away from the life you’re building. As Adonna Pryor explains, just two to three hours of uninterrupted time each week became a “brain reset.”

What happens when a book, vacation, or favorite hobby becomes one more assignment? In this episode, Jami Thornsberry and Adonna Pryor talk about the pressure homeschool moms feel to turn every experience into a lesson, from rapid-fire questions after reading a book to carefully planned educational vacations. Together, they explore what children learn when we stop measuring everything with worksheets and questions. Jami and Adonna encourage parents to make room for natural curiosity, listen to their children’s interests, and let joy lead the learning. As Jami Thornsberry puts it, “Production isn’t always learning”.

Whether you participate in a tutorial, co-op, or higher a tutor there may come a time when outsourcing parts of your homeschool are necessary.  Today, in the Journey Through Homeschool podcast Jami and Adonna talk about their experiences outsourcing their homeschool.  With practical encouragement, they help you navigate the option with prayer and wisdom.

In this episode of Journey Through Homeschooling, Jami Thornsberry and Adonna Pryor explore how faith can shape every part of the homeschool day, from Bible study and prayer to math, science, literature, civics, and time spent outdoors.  Jami Thornsberry shares the value of keeping “first things first,” while Adonna Pryor explains how ordinary lessons can open meaningful conversations about God’s character and the gospel. They also discuss welcoming children’s questions, navigating differing Christian viewpoints, and creating a home where parents and children can learn together. The goal isn’t to force a separate Bible lesson into the schedule, but to help children recognize God’s truth and beauty throughout everyday learning.
