Anyone who has been a parent of a teen for ten minutes knows it can come with a whole lot of goodness, but also some tension, especially as we prepare to launch them. That brings a requirement that we give them opportunities to fail so they have a soft landing with us. Going to public school so they can play sports, getting a job at an early age, having a cell phone… all of these are opportunities for success or failure, and the answer isn’t the same for each child. Listen in today as I talk through some ways you can approach these situations with your teen.
The Biden family never ceases to disappoint us. At least now we see we’re not the only ones as a recent poll shows him even further underwater, likely because of his lack of border security, the state of our economy and his gaslighting us on it, and now his recent White House holiday shenanigans. | The country is tiring of being asked to tip every time we turn around, especially as rising prices (mainly due to $15 minimum wages) already strap our wallets. | The Pope blesses same-sex marriages. | But we don’t end there. None of this is out of the Lord’s hand, and we do not put our hope in any world leader. We trust in the Name of the Lord Our God, so we are encouraged!
Hang around for Happy Hour. I mentioned in the show the egregious violation of our Senate Hearing Room, and I’m going to discuss it more. The root issue is sexual sin and how our culture is embracing it. We are in a country that is run by many depraved immoral lunatics – on both sides of the aisle. But do not despair. We respond to this by zealously sharing the love of Christ at every opportunity. That is what we are here for!
Heidi is answering listener questions about training up children, dealing with panhandling and homelessness, and the Word of Faith movement. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the biblical context of Proverbs 22:6 and the need for prayer and love when dealing with prodigal children. She also discusses the dangers of the Word of Faith movement and its focus on human power and authority rather than God’s authority. The episode concludes with a call to action to send Christmas cards and donations to Firmly Planted Family.
Tracy and Bernard Tourneur are fighting for their freedom to homeschool in France. They have been denied authorization to homeschool their son under a new law that was initially aimed at combating radical Islamism. It’s important for people in the United States and around the world to pay attention to homeschool freedom issues, as laws and policies in other countries can influence the homeschooling environment globally. Join Tracy and HSLDA’s Kevin Boden as we talk about how we can be diligent to protect the homeschooling freedoms that have been fought for on our own soil and learn how you can help.
Today, Congressional candidate Leslie Lewallen, a mother of four and former prosecutor joins me to discuss the importance of electing Republicans with a proven history of conservatism and why the 2024 races are critical. We’ll also talk about the role of state parties in getting out the vote, the dangers of populist movements and celebrity culture in politics and offer some encouragement for fatigued voters.
It can be really hard to hang in there toward the end of your homeschool career. Whether it’s one child or five, once we see the light at the end it can just be hard to finish well. Our children often ask to go to a traditional school, independent attitudes can show themselves, parenting differences appear as the kids get older, and frankly we can just get tired. If you find yourself in this position, it’s critical to revisit why you decided to homeschool in the first place. It can make all the difference!
