Despite its rich Christian heritage, America is rapidly sliding into secularism at an unprecedented rate. Join me in this insightful conversation with Bryan Osborne from Answers in Genesis as he unpacks the key drivers of this cultural shift and provides critical insights for effectively communicating Biblical truth and the Gospel to a secular-minded audience. Bryan Osborne is passionate about reaching the lost with the gospel and connecting with audiences through real-life stories and facts that confirm the truth of the Bible. For 13 years, he boldly and enthusiastically taught Bible history in a public school system in Tennessee; and for 20 years, he has helped youth and young adults in the church to know and defend their faith.

Bible literacy is a growing concern in the Church, even among those who grew up in Christian homes. Sometimes our children know the Sunday School stories, but they don’t know how to read and study the Word for themselves. Join me as I have a discussion with Abby Banks about the case for Bible literacy, why it’s important to find resources that dive deeper than simply learning Bible facts, and how families can start studying whole books of the Bible together – even if you never learned yourself! Abby Banks is a former classroom teacher, now homeschool mom of five and pastor’s wife. Even though she grew up in a Christian home, she was never taught how to read and understand the Bible. After learning how to deep dive into the Word using the inductive method, Abby has taught it to kids, teens, and women in various church and homeschool contexts for the last 20 years. Her Inductive Bible Study Courses for K-12 give families a step-by-step resource for learning to study the Word together. You can find her at 4onemore.com and the Homeschool with Moxie Podcast.

Twenty-six years and seven graduates later, he hopes to share some of the lessons he’s learned along the way to help other families enjoy the most successful, satisfying, and Christ-centered homeschool possible.

A heart for missions and ministry in our children doesn't just happen; if we want them to have an eternal perspective, we must be intentional about it! Join me and Danielle Papageorgiou as we talk about raising missions-minded children who will change the world for Jesus! Danielle Papageorgiou has been homeschooling, or “lifeschooling,” for 22 years (she counts birth as day 1!). She has a passion for helping other homeschoolers learn how to homeschool in a way that does not compete with family life but actually enhances it – homeschooling done in a spirit of freedom, not legalism. Her desire is to see more families set free from the world's expectations of what education is and to discover that God has made each family unique and has also placed in each of their children special gifts and desires that He wants to use. The verse that guides the Papageorgious in their pursuit of lifeschooling is Matthew 6:33: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”  Connect with our guest:  lifeasalifeschooler.com facebook.com/groups/lifeschooling Resources from this episode: Lifeschooling Vision Planner - lifeschoolingconference.com/e-landing-page/lifeschooling-vision-planner FREE "Who is This Child?"
