  • Thank you!

    I discovered the 1000 Hours Outside concept from a few friends who shared online, right as I became a mother. We first started tracking our hours when my son was 2, and many days this challenge was the only reason I spent the energy it took to wrangle a transition-adverse boy into rain clothes and boots for even just 15 minutes. My son is now almost 5 and the foundation has been set: we spend our days outside. I cannot express how pivotal and life-making this challenge has been, and I can’t wait... more

  • Officially homeschooling

    After many years of consideration, we have officially decided to homeschool our four children. We feel that giving them better rest, slower mornings, more time exploring outside, quality family moments and room to pursue their interests & passions is our best option forward. Navigating the road to this decision hasn’t been easy, yet listening to Ginny and her wonderful podcast & book recommendations has been a breath of hope moving forward; helping light our path ahead. Thank you Ginny for your ... more

  • Bless You!

    Ginny, you are a gift! Your enthusiasm and joy are contagious and I am super grateful for your wholehearted love and service to Jesus, even when life has some very tough moments (thinking of your church experience). The fact that you cling to Jesus speaks volumes about your love for and trust in Him, and is an awesome example for those of us who listen to your podcast. Thank you! He alone is worthy of all we are!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1KHO 840: Childhood is Wrecked By Speed | Grace Pouch, Savoring Childhood
Q: How does nature play a role in slowing down and reframing our daily pace?
Nature moves at a natural pace, cannot be shortcut or automated, and time in natural spaces recalibrates us, reducing anxiety and helping kids experience wonder and patience through experiences like observing wildlife or long-term projects outdoors.
1KHO 840: Childhood is Wrecked By Speed | Grace Pouch, Savoring Childhood
Q: Can you talk about the five essential ways of slowing that you outline in the book?
Grace describes slow gratification, slow schedules, slow consuming, slow media, and slow growing up as practical, long-term strategies to counteract the acceleration of modern life and give children space to develop attention, perseverance, and gratitude.
1KHO 830: Is the Adventure Worth It? | Devon O'Neil, The Way Out
Q: Can you explain what a climbing skin is and how it facilitates backcountry ascent?
Climbing skins are faux animal-hair strips that stick to the bottom of skis to grip the snow and allow forward movement on steep terrain; they are removed at the top for descent and must be carried and maintained as part of backcountry readiness.
1KHO 835: Good Moms Do Not Allow Their Children to Play Roblox | Nic McKinley, DeliverFund
Q: How can parents keep kids safer online beyond platform warnings?
The guest emphasizes understanding how predators leverage smartphones and social platforms, the insufficiency of platform safety rhetoric, and the need for proactive parental involvement and education to counter sophisticated online grooming and manipulation.
1KHO 835: Good Moms Do Not Allow Their Children to Play Roblox | Nic McKinley, DeliverFund
Q: Did you rescue a lot of people?
McKinley explains that as a ski patroller and pararescueman, he participated in many rescues, often involving civilians rather than military personnel, and that his teams regularly intervened in life-threatening situations on mountains and in other environments.
