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.

Why does family discipleship matter? What does it even mean? How about what we teach our kids about worldview?

How does homeschooling play into all of this? In this interview for The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Yvette Hampton talks about these important issues with Abraham Hamilton, III.

"Christianity is an intelligent faith." In this excerpt from her interview with Abraham Hamilton III, Yvette Hampton and Abe discuss the importance of Academics in homeschooling. They find that Academics, properly taught should build a Biblical worldview in our children and prepare them to be salt and light in the world - when they are fully trained. Why does family discipleship matter? What does it even mean? How about what we teach our kids about worldview? What kind of impact do we as parents have on not only our own families, but our entire nation through the training up of our own children? And, what does the Bible have to say about it? How does homeschooling play into all of this? In this interview for The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Yvette Hampton talks about these important issues with Abraham Hamilton, III. Abraham is husband to Maria, homeschool dad to five wonderful children, lawyer, Bible Teacher and national radio and television talk show host. Listen to The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast at https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.com .

But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king."

Sherri Seligson joins Yvette Hampton on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast to talk about the power of words. Listen to the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.com Our world is filled with words. Whether we are reading them, writing them, or instructing with them, they are our tools to build stories, create emotions, and make connections. Yet we need to be aware that words have the power to build up others as well as to tear them down, especially when we speak them to our children. That means words can cause our children to stumble or they can encourage them to soar! God has much to say about our words. They need to be crafted carefully and gently but firmly shared. This is how we can engage others and train up our children. Let’s contemplate not only the power of our words, but how we can boldly use them. Sherri Seligson is a 21-year veteran homeschool mom of 4 children: a bachelor’s in Pre-med, a marine biologist, a Master’s in Education, researcher, wife, and Christian. Before being promoted to motherhood, Sherri worked as a marine biologist at Walt Disney World’s Living Seas, publishing shark behavior research. She has authored Apologia’s Exploring Creation with General Science, Marine Biology, and Internships for High School Credit, instructional video courses for Apologia’s science curricula, and companion curricula for feature films including Dolphin Tale and War Horse. An international conference and retreat speaker, Sherri uses transparency, truth, and humor, to encourage moms on their homeschool journey and to teach families and students the importance and excitement of studying God’s creation.

“I can’t afford to homeschool.” “I don’t have what it takes.” “I’m not patient enough.” “My kids won’t be socialized.” “My kids are called to be salt & light.” “The public schools in our area are excellent.” These are the reasons we often hear why parents choose to keep their kids in public school. But what’s really going on in the classrooms, behind closed doors, and on the playground? What are our children really being exposed to and is it happening in YOUR neighborhood?

On a daily basis now, parents are considering homeschooling for the first time ever and asking the question, “But How?” Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella answer this important question in this discussion for The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast. It’s 2020 and EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED! For the first time, many have been faced with one of the greatest decisions of their parenting lives. How will they educate their children? Will they continue to send them to school during this time of COVID-19 restrictions, masks, and social distancing? Will they sit them in front of a computer screen for hours of ZOOM virtual classes? Or will they withdraw them completely and HOMESCHOOL and test the waters of real, parent-directed education at home. Notes and Recommended Resources: Here are 10 very specific steps to get you started on the right path, or encourage you along the way if you’re already traveling the homeschool road. 1. PRAY. Do that first. Surrender your homeschool to the Lord. Seek Him in all you do. 2. KNOW YOUR WHY.

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.
