Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology

You’ve heard about this thing called classical education and you’re curious. Should you choose to pursue a classical education in your homeschool? Or maybe you already consider yourself a Christian classical educator, but you’re feeling burned out. The kids don’t seem to remember or appreciate the things you thought they would, and you wonder if it’s even worth it. So, why do I pursue a Christian classical education in our homeschool? Hint: it might not be why you think! Welcome to this week’s installment in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series! Each week I’m bringing one of my most popular blog posts straight to your podcast player. Pop in those earbuds while you’re on summer road trips, sitting by the pool, or folding laundry for some extra homeschooling encouragement.  Be sure to subscribe to this podcast wherever you’re listening so you don’t miss a single episode!

Nothing is more important for the Christian homeschool mom than to meditate on God’s Word. But how do we prioritize time with the Lord and Scripture memory in the middle of an often overwhelming homeschool life? And how can we easily include Bible memorization in the homeschool day with our kids? Today’s Homeschool Conversations guest, Katherine Pittman, has some much-needed encouragement and practical tips for us today! You’ll leave filled with a love and desire for more of God’s Word! Read, watch, or listen and then share with a friend.

Join us: HumilityandDoxology.com/M2H Y’all have been hearing me talk about the brand new online community Made2Homeschool, and I am so excited to tell you that it is officially OPEN to the public! Over 20 creators have come together to create a one-of-a-kind space just for homeschool parents like you. 8 of my fellow contributors agreed to join me for little micro-episodes of the podcast… short conversations to get to know them and their homeschools. Each of them shares either a challenge of homeschooling or a favorite thing, and they all brought some GREAT practical tips you can implement to keep your homeschool running smoothly today. In fact, the conversations were so great that some of them turned out to be, well, not quite so micro. So instead of trying to fit them all into 1 gigantic episode, I’ve split them into 2 parts.
