The Nicki Truesdell Podcast

Large families and homeschooling

Having more than two kids in America gets all sorts of backlash from the world, but sadly, also from Christians. But it’s because so many have chosen the world’s wisdom over God’s. My guest today is Katie LaPierre, homeschool Mom of 11, Pastor’s wife, and the voice behind the popular Facebook page “Eternally Minded Mamas.” She is here to testify to the blessings of having many arrows!

Christian parenting in an LGBT culture

As Christians, how do we parent wisely in this environment? Our culture has become saturated in all forms of rebellion against God, not the least of which is the LGBT movement. No matter how you raise your children, they will be exposed. Children’s toys, cookies, candy, cereal, clothing lines, and cartoons have all become mouthpieces for sexual perversion. You would literally have to live in a bubble to keep your children from it. Today I want to encourage Christian parents that this battle is worth your time.

Homeschool Freedom: Lauren Gideon and Education Independence

As homeschooling grows at a rapid pace, we are witnessing a growing demand for free money, free materials, free activities to make it easier. In addition to that, we are watching state governments increase their demands on homeschooling parents in the name of “protection” and “academic rigor.” The freedom to educate your children at home is such a basic right, but it is really controversial in many circles, especially those who view government as the giver of liberty. Homeschool freedom has only existed for the past 30-40 years in America, and with growth has come more threats to that freedom. Today’s show is about education freedom and education subsidies. I’m joined by Lauren Gideon of Education Independence to discuss the current threats to homeschool freedom and what we can do about it.
