Thriving in Your Homeschool with Zan Tyler

Zan Tyler and Caleb Price talk about trading comparison for gratitude, celebrate a town that rallied behind a homeschool graduate, and share why homeschooling opens doors for our kids. Plus, Zan brings encouraging news from her travels: the homeschool movement is alive, growing, and thriving.

Is a clean house the key to a peaceful home? Zan Tyler and Caleb Price start with a viral reel that sparked hundreds of comments and talk about why gratitude, not comparison, is the secret to a joyful homeschool. (Zan also shares the funny story of being named South Carolina's Homemaker of the Year and her sister's unforgettable response.)

Then they celebrate some encouraging news: a Homeschool Law Enforcement Day in Reno that drew more than 500 families, and a Nebraska town that rallied behind a young homeschool graduate and volunteer firefighter so he could pursue his calling. Zan explains how parents can advocate for their high schoolers, why homeschool graduates are thriving in college, the military, and beyond, and where to turn for help if a barrier ever appears.

Finally, Zan shares highlights from her recent travels with Joe, from Oregon to the Reagan Presidential Library to national leadership conferences in Orlando, and why she believes the homeschool movement is alive, growing, and truly a "love your kids" movement.

Family physician, homeschool dad of nine, and author Dr. Robert Jackson joins Zan to share how homeschooling shaped a close-knit family across generations. From meeting his wife Carlotta to raising two sons with special needs, Robert reflects on calling, sacrifice, and the enduring power of a biblical worldview passed down through the home. He also opens up about writing a book to preserve his own father's story for his children and grandchildren, and why he believes homeschooling gave his family a sense of home they never outgrew.

What can happen when homeschool families bring their creativity, skills, and community together?

Zan Tyler talks with longtime homeschool dad Jonathan Bartlett about the creativity, freedom, and community that can make homeschooling a rich, rewarding experience. Jonathan has seen what families can create together: programming and calculus classes, homeschool football at AT&T Stadium, award-winning theater, and even a new homeschool film festival. He and Zan also talk about discipleship, homeschool freedom, and why community is worth the effort. Your family doesn’t have to homeschool alone.

Wil Addison didn’t begin homeschooling as the dad who taught lessons, but over time, he discovered just how much his presence mattered.

Zan Tyler talks with this father of seven and co-host of the Culture Proof Podcast about discipleship, fatherhood, the growth of homeschooling in the Black community, and becoming more actively involved in his children’s education. Wil shares how simply asking his wife, “What can I do to help?” changed his role at home. Together, he and Zan encourage fathers to be present, seize the moments, and remember that discipleship starts at home.

Are you carrying more in your homeschool than God ever asked you to carry? Zan Tyler and homeschooling mom of six Tauna Meyer talk about loosening your grip on the perfect plan, recognizing what matters most in each season, and giving your children room to grow into who God created them to be. Tauna shares how prayer transformed her approach to homeschooling, while Zan reflects on the freedom families have to adjust when something simply isn’t working. You don’t have to get everything right. Keep returning to God, your priorities, and the next faithful step.
