What does a homeschool graduate appreciate about their upbringing? Rachel Winchester sits down with Kendall Keene’s to hear about her experiences being homeschooled from third grade through high school. Homeschooling gave her freedom to pursue ballet, teaching, reading, cooking, and travel while allowing her siblings to develop their own interests. Kendall describes how daily life together strengthened her family relationships and how her family’s adoption of her brother, Gabe, from Rwanda shaped her empathy and led her to study history in college.

For The Bible Tells Me So

Does the atmosphere in our home have a long-term impact on our children? In this episode from our archive, Mellany Zepelak continues the conversation with Carole Joy Seid about cultivating an encouraging atmosphere in the home through intentional words and actions. Parents play a powerful role in modeling kindness and blessing, which children then emulate among themselves. Children often view their parents as reflections of God, making a parent's words deeply significant. The discussion explores practical steps like apology, mindful presence, and creating a culture of grace. With effort and reliance on God, our families can build homes filled with peace, love, and welcome. Join us!
