Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution

Linda Lacour Hobar is the author of The Mystery of History. Through homeschooling her children, and service as a missionary, she discovered a genuine love for world history where famous and not-so-famous people have shaped time itself by the mighty hand of God. In this video Linda and Yvette discuss how to know if you are a Mary or a Martha, and how to navigate homemaking, homeschooling, parenting, marriage, and life as either personality type. Listen to Linda on The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast at https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.com In the year 2000, Linda sensed a clear call to write The Mystery of History series for her children, grandchildren, and generations to come. Since then, this “Chronological, Christian, Complete” program has become a hit with readers of all ages. While fact-filled and thought provoking, Linda’s writing style is warm and personable. The Mystery of History has been awarded “Best Homeschool History Resource” in 2012; Cathy Duffy’s “100 Top Picks”; Mary Pride’s “Practical Homeschooling Reader Award”; and The Old Schoolhouse “Excellence Award.” Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution is feature-length documentary, currently in production. The film is intended to encourage and equip homeschool families to start strong and finish well. It follows host, Yvette Hampton as she travels the country with her family talking with education experts, curriculum developers, college and university faculty and administrators, and homeschooling families at every stage in the process, from kindergarten to college graduation and beyond. As viewers follow Yvette on this journey and share in her challenges and victories as a homeschool mom, they will gather the necessary resources and encouragement to homeschool their own children with excellence.

When you think about Christmas and the birth of Jesus, do you ever consider Mary? Who was she? How did she react to the news that she would bear the Christ child? What was it like to be the mother of a perfect child? What pressures did she endure and how did she handle being pregnant without being married or even fully united with her betrothed, Joseph? What kind of support did she have from her family and friends? Was she scared? Join Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella as they talk about this young girl who literally changed the world by simply saying "Yes" to the Lord. What is He calling YOU to do? How can you be a world changer? And, what lessons can we as homeschool moms learn from Mary?

Many parents choose to homeschool because they value family relationships. However, though it’s not intentional, it’s quite common for the children to become the priority and for the marriage relationship to be pushed aside. It’s difficult for a family to thrive if the relationship between husband and wife is not Christ-centered and healthy.

Many parents choose to homeschool because they value family relationships. However, though it’s not intentional, it’s quite common for the children to become the priority and for the marriage relationship to be pushed aside. It’s difficult for a family to thrive if the relationship between husband and wife is not Christ-centered and healthy. Join Yvette Hampton and Kirk Cameron as he shares some of the lessons he and his wife, Chelsea, have learned about setting a solid foundation over the past 28 years of marriage, and through many years of homeschooling. Listen to The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.com This conversation is from the Homegrown Generation Family Expo. Register for lifetime access to see the full interview, at https://HomegrownGeneration.com Kirk Cameron has been a part of the national landscape since starring as “Mike Seaver” in the ABC hit sitcom, “Growing Pains.” That role turned him into a cultural icon in the 80’s, with his mullet hairstyle, cool sunglasses, and wisecracking comebacks. Since then, he’s appeared in numerous television and movie productions, including the “Left Behind” series, “Monumental,” and “Fireproof”- the marriage-centered film that became the #1 grossing inspirational movie of 2008. His newest film, Connect, offers “real help for parenting teens in a social media world.” -------------- PARTNER WITH US! --------------- If you believe in homeschooling, please partner with us by making a tax-deductible donation to support Schoolhouse Rocked - https://schoolhouserocked.com/support/ Shop for Schoolhouse Rocked Merchandise - https://schoolhouserocked.com/store Without the support of the homeschool community we could not produce The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast.
