  • Love ya!

    Thank you Zan and team. I genuinely feel like you guys are my cheerleaders. No background in homeschooling, the Lord has led us to start this legacy for our family. We are growing in our support system of fellow homeschoolers but our family thinks we are crazy. The fruit of our efforts to serve God as He guides, I pray will be a great testimony to them. My husband works in the public school system and it is rough. Thanks for fighting then and continuing now. May we honor the sacrifices of other... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Child Has a Diagnosis. Now What? | Beth Moore | Ep. 207
Q: Tell us what SEP, IEP, and 504 are, and whether they are necessary or important in homeschooling.
The IEP is an individualized educational plan typically used in public schools with a team approach; a 504 plan covers medical-type needs; in homeschooling, an SCP (Student Educational Plan) can be created by the family to document diagnosis and necessary accommodations, sometimes supported by associations or templates. These plans help formalize supports and accommodations tailored to the child's needs.
Raising Emotionally Healthy Kids in an Anxious World | Dr. Roger Smith | Ep. 199
Q: What are the main factors contributing to rising anxiety in children and adults today?
Community erosion, increased anonymity, and heavy use of smartphones and social media have reduced real-world connection, making people feel isolated and more reactive, especially in younger generations.
If Homeschooling Is Legal, Why Is Freedom Still at Risk? | Jim Mason | Ep. 196
Q: Do you have a Bible verse or passage that has guided your work?
Yes, 1 John 2 speaks to having an advocate before the Father, which underpins the mission of HSLDA as advocates for homeschooling families.
If Homeschooling Is Legal, Why Is Freedom Still at Risk? | Jim Mason | Ep. 196
Q: Who is Victor Munoz and why is he important for us to know?
Victor Munoz is a Notre Dame political science professor who wrote about the Declaration of Independence, arguing that parental responsibility in raising children within a family and faith is central to American ideals; his perspective helps frame homeschooling as a sacred duty tied to the nation's founding.
If Homeschooling Is Legal, Why Is Freedom Still at Risk? | Jim Mason | Ep. 196
Q: Do we need to continue to work for freedom and worry about freedom and labor over freedom?
Yes. While legality has become established in many states, there are ongoing ideological efforts to roll back protections. We must remain vigilant, push back against encroachments, and actively engage with state legislators and courts to preserve and clarify the rights of homeschooling families.
