Encouragement for Your Soul | Volume 1 2026-27

In “Growing in Trust,” written and read by Ashley Wiggers, we begin our new theme, The Kingdom Way, by reflecting on the choice between trust and control. Ashley gently reminds us that while control often feels safer, it is really a symptom of fear—and the Lord invites us instead into quietness, confidence, courage, and rest. Through Scripture, personal encouragement, and practical insight for family life, this article helps us see trust as an active, faith-filled response to God’s goodness. Whether we are navigating relationships, homeschooling, sibling conflict, or our own anxious thoughts, we can learn to let go of outcomes and follow the Good Shepherd with confidence. Listen in and be encouraged to practice courage, release worry, and grow in trust as you walk with the Father.

Mom to Mom | Volume 1 2026-27

In “Stepping Into the Story,” written and read by Lori Lane, Lori introduces herself as the new voice of the Mom to Mom column and reflects on the unexpected ways God writes our family stories. From raising four boys and beginning the homeschooling journey to becoming a grandmother and walking alongside thousands of homeschool families, she shares how the Lord used ordinary moments to shape both her children’s hearts and her own. With gratitude for the legacy of Durenda Wilson and Debbie Strayer, Lori reminds us that homeschooling was never meant to rest on the perfect method or plan, but on the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Parenting, she encourages, is at its heart a form of discipleship, lived out in conversations, routines, forgiveness, conflict, and celebration. Listen in and be reminded that your family is part of God’s larger story as you continue the meaningful work of raising the next generation with wisdom, faith, and purpose.

Faith Filled Family | Volume 1 2026-27

In “Learning to Trust God,” written and read by Steve Demme, Steve shares personal stories of God’s faithful provision and the lessons his family learned while living by faith. From a pair of one-dollar work boots to a child’s first bicycle, he reminds us that prayer invites God’s participation and that even simple needs can become lasting testimonies of His care. Through Scripture and family examples, Steve encourages us to trust God not only for provision, but also with our wealth, our time, and our daily decisions. He reflects on tithing, Sabbath rest, and the peace that comes when we obey the Lord and believe that He will meet our needs in His way. Listen in and be encouraged to bring your needs to God, trust His faithful care, and watch for the many ways He provides for your family.

Real Life Homeschooling | Volume 1 2026-27

In “Monday Motivation and Celebration,” written and read by Ashley Wiggers, Ashley brings us into the very real Monday moments of homeschooling—the messy forts, disappointed children, interrupted plans, and familiar pull of overwhelm. With honesty and humor, she reminds us that these everyday struggles are often opportunities to encourage our children as they learn to handle frustration, disappointment, and the need to begin again. Ashley also encourages parents to see growth in themselves and their families, even in the middle of hard days. By pausing, staying flexible, relying on the Lord, and celebrating small wins, we can build a home culture that notices progress and offers encouragement when everyone needs it most. Listen in and be reminded that you are doing a good work as you keep saying yes to family life, homeschooling, and the grace to try again.

The Natural Learning Home | Volume 1 2026-27

In “Adventures in Science,” written and read by Kay Chance, Kay invites families to see science as a natural extension of a child’s God-given curiosity. Rather than approaching science as a subject to simply complete, she encourages parents to create a home where children have the space, time, resources, and encouragement to observe, question, discover, do, and reflect. With practical ideas like nature study, science notebooks, hands-on models, brainstorming questions, and interviewing experts, this article offers simple ways to make science meaningful and memorable for children of all ages. Kay reminds us that learning comes alive when children are free to follow their curiosity and engage the world God made with wonder. Listen in and be encouraged to enjoy science alongside your children as you help them explore, discover, and learn naturally.
