The Best Accident that Ever Happened, with Yvette Hampton – 656

A listener is asking about my accidental homeschooling status, and it turns out, I’m not the only one ’round these parts! Yvette Hampton is joining me today and we’re talking about why we decided to homeschool and SchoolHouse Rocked, a documentary you won’t want to miss!
Yvette Hampton has been married to her awesome husband, Garritt, for 23 years and is beyond blessed to be mom to her two sweet girls. She is the producer and host of the upcoming documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution.

In the fall of 2016, she and her family sold their home and most of their possessions, loaded up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked. They have a passion for the homeschool community and are humbled and honored that the Lord has called them to tell the story of the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution.

The movie is intended to dispel the many misconceptions and negative stereotypes of homeschooling as well as to encourage and equip parents to take charge of their child’s heart and education. They plan to release Schoolhouse Rocked in theaters in the summer of 2019!

They were simply being obedient to the One who had called them to be different. They knew that if He had called them, He would equip them.

All Things Work Together For Good – 654

Romans 8:28 is one of the most claimed promises about the providence and grace of God in our ups and downs.  If we rightly understand this truth, it unlocks a bulletproof joy in the midst of our circumstances, but if we wrongly understand it, we miss the depth of joy and comfort that God intends for us.  There are two conditions that are critical for it’s application.  Don’t miss our discussion about it today!

The Effects of Feminism on the Hearts of our Boys and Men – 653

Today, I am answering a question from a listener who is frustrated by the attempts to emasculate men in our culture today, especially since she is trying to raise her boys to love and protect women. The Bible says we have been created differently as male and female. One is not better than the other—but we have unique strengths and weaknesses. Let’s embrace them!
