Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology

Homeschooling parents Essie and Hsin-Fu Wu know firsthand the importance of teaching children a history that reflects the full story of America. When they couldn’t find resources to share Asian American history with their sons, they created Resilient Panda History, guides designed to help families of all backgrounds bring these often-overlooked stories into their homeschool days. In this Homeschool Conversation, Essie and Hsin-Fu join me to discuss their homeschooling journey, the surprising discoveries they’ve made while researching Asian American history, and why these lessons matter for every family seeking a rich, diverse homeschool education.Find show notes and full transcript here: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/teaching-asian-american-history-at-home-resilient-pandaUse the discount code PODCAST25 for 25% off all of Resilient Panda guides, timeline, and bundles!Thank you to Podcast Season Sponsor Berean Builders.

What if rest wasn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list, but a rhythm woven into creation itself? In today’s fast-paced culture, biblical rest can feel elusive—especially for homeschooling families juggling responsibilities and expectations. But as Eryn Lynum shared in our recent conversation, true rest is not about doing less, but about being rooted in God’s presence and design. Are you longing for slower homeschool days, a more peaceful heart, or a deeper understanding of Sabbath? Today’s Homeschool Conversation explores the patterns of rest found in Scripture, creation, and daily life and how you can bring those rhythms into your home today.Find show notes and full transcript here: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/finding-rest-in-a-restless-worldEryn’s books hereWhile you’re here, would you take a minute to leave a rating and review in your podcast app?

Green Ember friends, you are going to love this one! I had the absolute joy of sitting down with S. D. (Sam) Smith and Zach Franzen to chat about an epic new adventure in the Green Ember universe: Helmer in the Dragon Tomb! For years, readers (including my son Isaac) have been asking for Helmer’s origin story — and now it’s finally here. Not only will we get a brand-new full-length novel, but Green Ember fans can also also enjoy an action-adventure video game that brings the story to life in a whole new way! And get this: the game is designed to be family-friendly with no ads, no micro-transactions, and no creepy internet people. Just pure storytelling, adventure, and delight for our kids.In this conversation, Sam and Zach share the hospitable heart behind the project, the challenges of creating something this big, and some behind the scenes nuggets true fans of #rabbitswithswords won't want to miss. You’ll hear about the creative process, the vision for the story and game, and what makes Helmer in the Dragon Tomb such a special addition to the Green Ember world we already love.Plus, there are over a dozen questions from actual kids ranging from banjos to shading techniques to mysteries and deep dives! We tried to make it rapid fire...but we had a lot to say. 😉✨ Don’t miss the chance to be part of this exciting project!
