New Years, for most of us, means new beginnings. Whether it's a new goal or recommitment to a habit we're already cultivating, New Years acts as a marker for us to turn over a new leaf. This week Lisa is joined by Kelli Wilt to discuss what it means to "raise adults," and explore what it looks like beginning with the end in mind.

Please enjoy this special holiday re-run of one of our most downloaded episodes. 

One of the more profound lessons “from down the road” may well be that there is more to homeschooling than academic pursuits.  Join veteran homeschool moms Shelly Stockton and Lisa Bailey as they discuss building character, spiritual habits, relational maturity, and practical life skills while living and learning at home with their girls.  Discover how a classical education lived out in community (both home and CC) provides the environment for learning the biggest lessons of life.

In this final Advent episode, join Lisa as she considers how God spoke all the love languages as He become Emmanuel.  Consider with your family how God incarnate has come to you—and how you might live Him before your neighbors this Christmas! 

In this third Advent devotional, host Lisa Bailey encourages us to consider that joy is a choice.  What allows us to choose joy when life’s circumstances dictate otherwise?  How can we express joy amid burdens?  Mary had the answer; listen in and be blessed.  This would be a great family listen…

Join Lisa for this second Advent episode, calling us to embrace the Peace of Christmas.  Take a break (even with your family) to think about how becoming an ambassador of peace fulfills our mission to know God and to make Him known!

Join us all month for this series of Advent thoughts, perfect for provoking thoughts that turn our Christmas preparations to Jesus.  In this first episode, discover an interesting connection between forest fires, birds, and the hope of Christmas.

It’s our family’s gift to yours!
