Whether you homeschool or are thinking about it there’s a lot of decisions to make and it can be hard to do so with so many opinions and pressures around you. This episode encourages you to go beyond just following friends and trends, but instead to carefully and prayerfully make decisions that are ideal for your unique family. Most people get discouraged by having difficulty navigating these questions: “How do you know if you are picking the right curriculum?” or “Should I join a co-op?” or “Am I preparing them well enough for a changed future?”. Isaac and Angie talk through how to approach making decisions that are best for your family. 

Main Points From This Episode:

  • We encourage you to get alone with God and a Journal to think through big decisions and how to solve problems.
  • If your legacy vision isn’t solidified and strong you are more likely to be swayed by friends and trends versus getting to what’s best for your family long term.
  • There will be pressures against doing what’s best for your family, so it’s vital to be able to resist them.
  • It’s important to think about the future your children will launch into so that their education lines up well with them thriving
  • Pay attention to who your children will be learning from and the peers around them when making decisions about co-ops and other programs.

– Proverbs 11:2 – When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

– 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 – For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
