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.

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.
The Surprising Lessons Homeschooling Has Taught Me | Stephanie Price | Ep. 197
Q: What, on the hard days, or the days you want to quit, or the days the kids want to quit, what keeps you going?

Your Family Is the Mission Field | Dayle Annand | Ep. 195
Q: How did your life lead you into full-time ministry and homeschooling?
Dayle describes a lifelong sense of calling that intensified after her family came to the Lord, leading to youth ministry, international missions, and eventually homeschooling as a way to steward their children's education and faith within a missionary lifestyle.
