The Hidden Strengths of Children Who Learn Differently | Beth Moore | Ep. 20615 Jul 202600:26:09

How can you help a child who learns differently truly thrive?

Zan Tyler sits down with longtime friend and educator Beth Moore, who spent 25 years teaching in public, private, and homeschool classrooms and homeschooled her own two children with ADHD and dyslexia. Together, they discuss neurodivergence, the strengths often hidden within learning differences, and the support children need to succeed.

Choose Your Hard: Why This Family Came Back to Homeschooling | Caleb and Tamara Wheat | Ep. 20508 Jul 202600:41:20

What happens when homeschooling feels too hard to carry, but too important to let go? Zan Tyler welcomes Caleb and Tamara Wheat, known as Doin’ It with a Dozen, to share their remarkable story of loss, love, blended family life, and returning to homeschooling after a year in private school. From the everyday logistics of PB&J sandwich-making to the bigger questions of grief, discipleship, and family life, Caleb and Tamara share the deeper encouragement every homeschool parent needs: you do not have to do it perfectly for it to be worth it. Choose the hard that keeps your children’s hearts close.

Don't Quit: Raising Children with a Biblical Worldview in a Hostile World | Zan Tyler | Ep. 20324 Jun 202600:55:32

Are your children ready to stand firm in a culture that pulls them in every direction?

Through personal stories and decades of homeschool experience, she encourages parents to stay rooted in God's Word and raise children who know God, think biblically, and serve Him faithfully wherever He calls them.

One State Gained Freedom. One Lost It. | Caleb Price | Ep. 20217 Jun 202600:34:36

How quickly can homeschool freedom disappear?

Zan Tyler and Caleb Price examine two headline-making developments in Connecticut and New Hampshire that reveal just how quickly homeschool laws can change. They also discuss why discipleship remains at the heart of homeschooling and the responsibility parents have to steward freedom well. As they reflect on the future of home education, Zan and Caleb highlight why homeschool graduates continue to demonstrate the academic, leadership, and character qualities our culture desperately needs. Freedom is never guaranteed. It must be understood, protected, and passed on to the next generation.
