Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution

What does discipleship look like in your family and in your homeschool? How are you leading your kids towards Jesus? How do you study God’s Word effectively? What is dad’s role in the family and what role does the church play in family discipleship? Yvette Hampton is back with Melissa and Nathan King, authors of Bible Quest, to find out the answers to these questions. Did you know that regardless of your child’s learning style or your method of teaching, children learn in three stages - grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric? Bible Quest offers a plan, along with resources to help parents teach Biblical literacy using the Classical method of learning. This is a Bible study resource that is sure to be helpful in learning and teaching God’s Word in your home!

"Imagine trying to teach your child how to tie his shoes without the practice principle. Just verbally walking him through the process is not going to be enough. At some point, you would have to physically demonstrate how to do it, and then not only that, but require him to practice it on his own. And so, the way that I look at it is if the practice principal is vital for teaching such a morally neutral task as tying shoes, how much more important is it for training children in Christ-like character?" - Ginger Hubbard Ginger Hubbard is an encouragement to me and thousands of other homeschool moms as she speaks at conventions all across the country on the topic of biblical parenting.

“If Mama ain't happy, ain’t nobody happy!” Ever heard these words? We live in a world that promotes “me time” and She Sheds but, while those things can often lead to complete self-centeredness, we do need to make taking care of ourselves a priority. Perhaps the saying should go “If Mama ain’t well cared for, ain’t nobody well cared for!” However, mama self-care doesn’t necessarily mean weekly manicures and coffee dates with our girlfriends. It starts with spiritual self-care - growing in our relationship with the Lord - to e nsure that we are prepared for the stresses of life. Following spiritual self-care is learning how to care for our physical bodies so that we have the strength and health to care for those whom the Lord has entrusted to us on a daily basis.
