  • Such BOLd truths!

    I have been enjoying this podcast from Episode 1, and I keep sharing episodes with others! The “don’t stop at high school part 1,” is really resonating with me. Our oldest is in 8th grade, and every week our family is fielding questions related to “are we really going to homeschool through high school???” It’s so hard not to jump ship out of fear; it’s hard not to sound judgmental when I give reasonings for continuing to homeschool through high school; and it’s hard to watch teens go down the sa... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#302 Heroes of 1776 by Janie Nitze & Neil Gorsuch
Q: How did you approach writing a children's book with a sitting Supreme Court Justice as a co-author?
We started with extensive research, read many stories, and collaborated through many drafts to make it engaging for kids while ensuring adult readers find depth as well; Justice Gorsuch was deeply involved in every step from research to writing.
#301 Sunshine in My Nest—with Elizabeth Santelmann
Q: What advice do you have for moms feeling overwhelmed by curriculum choices and schedules?
Focus on one core approach, keep the schedule simple, and allow for flexible pacing; use dopamine-friendly wins like visible progress markers to encourage ongoing engagement.
#301 Sunshine in My Nest—with Elizabeth Santelmann
Q: What inspired your Bible study method and your forthcoming book?
A personal season of exhaustion and a need for accessible, enriching Scripture study led to a verse-by-verse method and the idea for Gently Tended, which combines practical verses with context and optional levels of depth.
#301 Sunshine in My Nest—with Elizabeth Santelmann
Q: How does your multi-age, read-aloud approach work in practice for different ages?
She explains that the same core books are read by all, with age-appropriate assignments, creating shared memories while allowing younger children to participate alongside older siblings.
#301 Sunshine in My Nest—with Elizabeth Santelmann
Q: Tell us a little about your background and how your path led you to homeschooling.
Elizabeth describes growing up homeschooled in different environments, the move to city life, and how community shaped her approach, eventually leading to curriculum writing and a focus on literature-rich, family-style learning.
