Why do things go wrong for some Christian homeschoolers? It's not a guarantee!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- So many homeschool moms and dads chose this path because they want to be the main influence in their child's education! For Christian parents, we want to instill Christian values rather than secular values in our children. We want to be counter-cultural. We want to build up disciples for Christ! So, then why do things still go wrong? Why do some "Christian homeschoolers" still go astray? They were raised in a Christian home. They were regular taken to church. I can't blame the modern education system this time. So what went wrong?
This video is inspired by a workshop I attended at the 2023 Illinois Christian Home Educators conference (ICHE). If you don't have a nearby Christian homeschool conference, Illinois is pretty solid! Homeschool Moms and Dads, come join us!

I am not done yet but I love your topics lately. They aren’t the same old same old homeschooling videos.
Thank you!!! 😊 i figure if it’s a topic that I myself am actually interested in, then there are probably others who also will be interested.😊
Agree 100%%
@@OurHOMEschoolPlan to your soap box. It was easy but hard for me to quit my career. I was so stressed out that it seemed great. It was hard because that meant less home repairs and vacations. It is still something I struggle with but I know that everything is a season.
@@sarahe7515 I hear you!!!!! It’s a sacrifice!
Such a much needed and timely convo. TY so much for sharing on all of this.... I think that culture has a significant influence on "prodigals", butttttt I also seriously believe that many not all, but many "Christian" parents think that regular church attendance and sending children to Christian schools will cover their children's standing with the Lord. I know this, because I've watched it go down pretty much my entire life. And honestly, I get it. I get why a lot of parents would think that that is enough. I also realize that life is very hard, and while it isn't always possible (and I know that I've personally dropped the ball at times).. I still feel that cultivating relationship with our children is key. And consistently speaking candidly with our children concerning spiritual matters is extremely imperative. The Lord has constantly laid it on my heart to make sure that my children know that this life truly is all about a spiritual war, and we all better be vigilant and standing strong in the Lord..and prepared for all that that entails. As I type this.. I am reminded that ultimately, the battle belongs to Him.. and we truly need to submit and trust in Him..always.. 2 Chronicles 20:15 - “Don’t be afraid or worry about this large army, because the battle is not your battle. It is God’s battle!” Praying with all of you on all of this... in Jesus' Name.....
❤️❤️❤️what a great verse to remind us!
You’re right about parents thinking the church is enough. I heard Paul Washer talk about the hours and hours and hours of teaching our kids get from the secular world per week and through TV and other media, and we think that 1-2 hours on Sunday alone is going to combat all those hours. We’re fooling ourselves. The enemy never stops and so we shouldn’t either.
👏👏👏This was so good & so true. I wish 20 some years ago I had been where I am now. I wish I had known these things.
As a mom of 11 children & homeschooling 27 years (not consecutively with all 11), I can tell you firsthand that homeschooling does not guarantee your children will not rebel & become lost. Sadly, a few of my adult children are lost. I will never stop praying for them. I am still homeschooling my 2 youngest & we have a wonderful relationship. If you are reading this, please, please remember your relationship with God & your relationship with your children(& of course, your spouse, too) trumps everything else in homeschooling.
Amen!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I had no clue how to run a home when I got married. Even being married for 5 years I still struggle on how to cook meals and prepping. I wish someone had taken the time to show me.
I’m with you!!!! I knew how to do chores and not to go into credit card debt but that’s about it. I was busy playing sports, “amusing myself” and didn’t have time to learn much about cooking! So I get it! Meal planning is a struggle for me too! Even when my husband and I first got married, we ate out all the time! Convenience was top dog!
I know you may be bombarded with comments both negative and positive. However your videos although have been helpful in the homeschool aspect has become such a HUGE blessing for me in my 3 year homeschooling journey. I appreciate youre rawness and honesty as well as your love for Christ and turning these newer videos as a test on our faith (we who believe) to test if we are actually believe the words we read and not just be readers of the word but doers. Anyway thank you and may God bless you and grant your hone wisdom peace love and abundant joy.
Thank you so much!!!! I truly appreciate that encouragement!
(The negative comments are few but I have gotten a lot of “un-subscriptions” lately!! 😜 I guess they aren’t my people. 😊💕 so be it! )
This was extremely timely. My older kids are in the tween phases of life, and because of that, this week, I instituted a rule of 30 minutes of entertainment. We talked about how entertainment, while not bad or evil , is too much of it can cause attention issues, it stunts your growth in many ways. It's a difficult balance, but worth the fight. IMO. Homeschooling has brought us many trials, but many victories! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and support❤
You’re welcome!! ☺️ you’re so right about entertainment! It has its place. And so does down time.
I was inspired when a family at my church first sent their son to college. The parents drove several hours to be with him on the first few Sundays and helped him find a church and get established. I thought it was a great idea.
That’s what I would do too! Although I’m going to encourage my kids to stay close to home if possible if they decide to go to college so they bc a continue to come to their own church. But when I was in high school, we had to move for my dads job and we still drove and hour and half on Sundays to keep attending our own church. We did find another church for Wednesdays. Sundays were hard. But the point is, it wasn’t impossible. When my hubs and I got married, we lived an hour away from our church and attended on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday nights. When people thought we were crazy for driving that far, I just said, they didn’t understand how important those people and our church was to us. We have something special than even visitors notice and say is rare. You sacrifice for what’s important to you. How many parents travel for weekend after weekend to dance tournaments or travel sports??
I appreciate this video and sharing your thoughts, information and homeschooling experience. You made some solid points! Ones I haven’t heard anyone say and they really stood with me. Taking notes! Looking forward to your next video! 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m glad you’ve found it helpful!
What a great video. Thank you so much for taking the time and being so thoughtful, vulnerable and honest this helps other mamas in a big way. Please don’t stop!
😊 you’re welcome! I love being able to make videos like these even though they aren’t my most popular ones! They are important ones.
Great video!
Pray for me and my family. A few things on this list, in particular, we are in need of...
Looking forward to your next video!

I am also in a situation that my husband wants us both to be working and has no interest in homeschool. He had a bad homeschool experience and so is not interested. Please pray for me!
Oh man! My husband was also like that until it was undeniable to him that this was GOD calling us, not just me. Gods voice is powerful, and so pray that he speak to your husband. I know it’s so hard to be on different pages.
I am praying for you tonight!
My husband didn’t want to homeschool at first. I had an older h/s mum tell me not to harass him about it but let the Holy Spirit speak to him. And He did. This is our first year homeschooling.
@@Sarah-iy7uc congratulations! What an answer to prayer and obedience!
@@Sarah-iy7uc ❤️❤️❤️that’s wonderful!!!! That sounds kind of like what happened for me! Me husband was against it for so long. Even against me just staying home with my kids. God is good!!
My homeschool story was one of my first videos recorded! If you want to hear the story, here it is!

What woke me up as a young teen was taking the deep dive down the rabbit hole seeing how truly wicked this world is. Our news only is the tip of the ice burg. We must know the depths of Satan himeself to be able to battle against him. When I came out of the matrix there was no going back. Praise the LORD he brought me out.
I’m glad you came back as well!
While the world is definitely wicked and sometimes kids will go that route and fall deep into that darkness (as you did), others are still “good” and don’t see their real need bc rather than comparing themselves to scripture and Gods standard, they compare themselves to others. Compared to everybody else, they’re “not bad.” Both are dangerous places to be.
Glad Gods Grace found you!! 😊
I personally never went down into darkness or participated in it I studied it (Knowledge is power) We must know our enemy so we can battle against him. I studied poplar movies, music, video games and researched all religions and cults and the depths and darkness of Hollywood. When I did this studying is when my Heavenly Father felt more real because I saw the world for what is, wicked. Our enemy prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devore. We must be Berean's and watchman and I personally think this starts with the music, games, movies, items and books that come into our homes and even people. Satan is sneaking in in very subtle ways into our homes and hearts. With everyone on the kick of decluttering lets all rise up and declutter the magic that has snuck into our homes! We are fighting a spiritual war for sure.
@@taylorferrell8308 while that may be how God revealed himself to you, I personally don’t think we need to “study” darkness. We need to have a basic understanding maybe…. But very often Satan’s tools are very subtle. He tempted Jesus in the garden with scripture, just slightly twisted. Same with Eve in the garden. The group in Matthew 7:21-23 who stand before Jesus on judgment day are the religious….they aren’t necessarily mixed up in cults or the culture. They are “doing works” in the Lords name and yet he says on that day, “I never knew you.”
We need to study and understand the truth of the scripture. That is our best weapon….infact it’s called a “sword.” When we KNOW scripture and KNOW truth, we’ll know when something is being told to us that’s a lie. It won’t sound quite right. And hopefully that will drive us back to study the scripture to find what IS RIGHT!
Most people I know who are lost, are not into cults or witchcraft. His lies are definitely in the culture and we can’t avoid that being around us or affecting those around us even if we wanted to, but I don’t think we have to willingly expose ourselves to sin in order to understand that it’s bad.
But we can be alert, be watchful, and keep an eye on things declaring themselves to be “good” and measure them against what scripture actually says is good.
I totally agree with you about God's word that is the only true weapon we have! Putting on the full armor of God is how we stand against darkness, we do need to be aware though of the Spirit of witchcraft which I believe is in most all of the media today. In scripture it says the whole world will lay in witchcraft. I see many Christians bringing it into their homes without even knowing it. A Lot of contemporary Christian music is laced in it along with many books and movies Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the rings, the Chosen to name just a few. I believe these things are stilling our hearts from the truth our Father has given us in his word. Thank you for taking the time to comment back. I have a strong passion in the area of media.
How strange I had to write this out twice due to UA-cam erased my comment. I totally agree with you about God's word it is our only weapon to fight against the darkness. Everyday we should be putting on the full Armor of God. We must be aware of the Spirit of witchcraft though because the LORD says that in the end the whole world will lay in it. I see many Christians bringing it into their homes through the media without even knowing it. Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the rings and The Chosen just to name a few. All of these under a Christian label. Along with Contemporary Christian music that is laced in it. I believe these things are stilling our hearts from the truth of God's word.
Thank you for taking the time to reply back to me I have a very strong passion in the area of media.
You gave me a lot to think through and to pray through. Thank you for that. These are things that were already put on my mind and in my heart by the Lord, but He really brought them to the forefront as I watched and paused your video to process and pray about everything tonight. I appreciate you.
Thank you!!! 😊
This video is what I needed today. Such good wisdom. Such good thought. And good encouragement.
❤️I’m so glad!

Hello ❤ I am homeschooling and struggling a lot now! She’s 12 My older daughter wants to go back to school I’m trying to get a job at a Christian school to get break in tuition I can’t find others who homeschool either kids their age. It’s always little kids. Idk what to do. I’m struggling with this decision. My older daughter does online school at LUOA and it’s ridiculous. Does hours and hours and hours of work and has no time for anything else. Feel like a failure 😞 another thing is if they go to this school my younger one will have to take summer courses to catch her up It’s a classical school and only teaches honors courses. She struggles with math and would have to take Latin 1 over the summer so she can take Latin honors when she gets there. The more I type the more I don’t want to send her but she’s a social butterfly 🦋 like me and wants to be around more people everyday. There is so much I want to write lol My goodness. Please no haters if you respond. Feeling bad enough already
I totally understand your dilemma! I myself have considered Christian school as well and then go through all these same thoughts as you….” But if I do that, then this…. And this… and I don’t want to do that!”
I’ll say this, if I HAD to send my kid to school, I’d be as involved as I possibly could, which means getting a job or volunteering in a daily basis.
I’m so sorry you’re having trouble finding community and homeschoolers!! Have you reached out to HSLDA and see if they have any ideas for you? They may be able to hook you into the Christian homeschool organization on your state (I assume you’re in the US) a dn then maybe THAT organization will have a better idea of where all the homeschoolers are.
One place I KNOW you could look is through the Classical Conversations website. If they have a community near you, or at least an information meeting you could go to, you might be able to talk to those people to find other homeschoolers.
@@OurHOMEschoolPlan thank you so much!!! I will definitely take those ideas and use them lol. You are so nice. Thanks mamma
I am praying God will show you the exact right decision to make. ❤
Thank you so much for your videos, advice, and encouragement! Thank you for speaking truth and always pointing back to God’s Holy Word and having a biblical and heavenly mindset. It’s so refreshing and so so needed in our culture!
You’re welcome!!! 💕
The homeschoolers I see rebel are the ones who didn’t make the choice to be homeschooled. The ones that were forced to out of the parents desires. Maybe humans just need to feel like they have a choice to feel contented. The same trend holds for the kids I see walk away from the faith they were raised in. The ones that were forced, vs invited to be a part of the church….
This is an interesting perspective. Since public schools generally expect children to start all day preschool at age 4 or kindergarten at age 5 so as not to be “behind”, I wonder how one would allow a child to make that choice. I also wonder if the same applies to all areas of parenting such as a good bedtime and a healthy diet. If we invite children to eat peas and carrots as opposed to Cheetos and Hershey’s, which choice will they make?
The majority of the rebels I know are or were educated in the public school system. I wonder what could have been done to prevent rebellion there. Do you have any thoughts to share? I ask in genuinely wanting to know. Not in a rude manner.
My thoughts are that in this spiritual battle, the human heart is wicked and we desire to sin. I am interested in your thoughts too.
I see what you’re saying, however I’m not of the belief that children should make decisions for themselves. Children are foolish. Proverbs 22:15 says, “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.”
Perhaps their parents “made” them homeschool and then neglected to truly disciple them. Or…it could just be that the children have a spirit of rebellion in them and no matter if they were homeschooled or gone to another school, it was going to come out. And infact, the public school may have accelerated the process or even increased its level of severity. The majority of “rebels” I know were public schooled, or there existed in their home some of the things I mentioned in this video, (spirit of anger and parental hypocrisy)
Amen! ❤
The athlete we are homeschooling has walked away from his faith and came back recently so I know it’s going to be harder to homeschool him but it’s worth it!!! I we discuss what we are doing with his family and we are all praying for him!!! We got our 7 year old back from her surrogate parents just before we started travel schooling and my husband told me to have the talk with her in an age appropriate way and find out what she’d picked up and I’m glad we did!!! I’m More immune to disrespect from my kids than disrespect from the athlete I’m homeschooling!!! In my house my boys do home economics!!! My kids aren’t allowed to talk to certain family members anymore as we kno they are witches and I’ve heard stuff from my older kids!!! I thought parenting teens was hard till I started working with athletes and saw some difficult teenagers at work and we felt called to homeschool one of them!!!
You sound like such a giving person! 💕 you’ll never regretting pouring things of eternal worth into anybody, however hard it may be. We may not even see the fruit right away, but we don’t know what Gods going to do and who he may use for his purposes!
Wow I didn’t know you were in Illinois! I’m in the south suburbs and I have had a hard time finding other homeschool families, can I ask where you find resources/support?
There’s a ton of homeschoolers in my area. I told another viewer that if you found a classical conversations group in your area, even if you just visited them, you’d need other homeschoolers and probably find out about other co-ops or Facebook groups for your area. But ICHE in itself is a huge resource!!! And they have regular events!
@@OurHOMEschoolPlan thanks! I’ve looked in to CC but it’s soooo expensive. I’m a single mom that works full time and also homeschools, but do they allow visitors that aren’t part of CC?
@@sparrowsknow8491 they do! You can always gather info and just visit it. They don’t need to know that you don’t think you could join. :) they’ll just let you observe and tell you about it so visiting for that day, you’ll get a sales pitch. Another thing you could do instead….if you go to the website, see who the SR in your area is. If you can get into contact with them, maybe they can give you another contact in your area to find out more about homeschoolers in your area.
@@OurHOMEschoolPlan ♥️

Thank you for this. Soo well said! ❤ Amen
Children are still taught the world and 123 pray after me get dunked in water once saved always saved..no change of heart no real repentance..not even taught LORD JESUS blood WASHED our sins away...interesting you mentioned the religious being taken from the wedding supper..it was the religious that crucified LORD JESUS!
My husband grew up southern baptist,..his grandmother told him when he was an open satanist (he is now born again praise the LORD) that he couldn`t go to hell because he was"baptized"...meanwhile she was in the eastern star...masonic works salvation wickedness...thinking bringing him to so called church would save him...
friend I could go on and on about this its our responsibility to teach our children that we are ALL sinners in need of our Saviour LORD JESUS and never turn back!
