We are an education support podcast assisting families as they bring home and school closer together. Families in growing numbers are challenged with how to best educate their children each year. With this decision comes a host of questions on how to create an educational plan for each child. We provide parents with help, advice, and solutions. Our help comes as guidance to plan and consistently execute a family educational strategy and ongoing encouragement.

In this Education Media Sanctuary episode, We remember a lesson taught well to us by our dear Father, the lesson of diligent and dedicated consistency of sticking to the things that matter most to us in life. Stick to your task till it sticks to you; Beginners are many, but enders are few. Honour, power, place, and praise Will come, in time, to the one who stays. Stick to your task till it sticks to you;Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too; For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile Will come life's victories, after awhile. -AnonymousConnect with us at EducationMediaSanctuary.com, or through social media on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram by searching @EducationMediaSanctuary.
