Join Dr. Lisa for part one of this three-part series on addressing emotion regulation in the youngest generations. In part one, she shares her own testimony with anxiety and overviews some of the psychosocial crises that are emerging in today's students. In part two of this series, she explains the power of inquiry-based learning, questions, and curiosity. As part of the analysis of human behavioral patterns, she assesses the cause and effect connections between three predominant GenZ emotions: fear, anxiety, and depression, examining their root causes as physical, social, and spiritual.  K to 12 Rescue Mission: https://www.academicrescuemission.com Christian Community College: https://www.veritascc.us CVCU degree programs: https://www.cvcu.us Book Dr. Lisa to speak: https://www.DrLisaDunne.com @DrLisaDunne

The average 4 year-old-child asks 437 questions a day. Their developmental stage of epistemic curiosity leads them to think, to wonder, to imagine, to search for the why. By the time these same children reach the teen years, they have often lost their wonder, their curiosity, their sense of awe. Their questions turn inward. Their thoughts become anxious. Join Dr. Lisa for part one today's show, High Anxiety, and learn how your educational format can positively impact the triad of emotional fallouts sweeping the youngest generation: anxiety, depression, and atheism. Discover an ancient teaching technique modeled by Jesus himself that develops critical thinking skills, inspires awe, and works wonders for emotion regulation. Homeschooling works. You can do this; we can help. K to 12 Rescue Mission: https://www.academicrescuemission.com Christian Community College: https://www.veritascc.us CVCU degree programs: https://www.cvcu.us Book Dr. Lisa to speak: https://www.DrLisaDunne.com @DrLisaDunne

A mindset is a cognitive bias, a systematic manner of thinking that influences our decisions, our actions. Understanding the foundations of our mindset can help us move beyond the limitations of some of our belief-to-behavior patterns. How about you? Is your mindset oriented toward growth, or do you tend to get stuck in a fixed, limiting mindset that holds you back? Join Dr. Lisa on today's show to learn how to develop a family-friendly routine of mental flexibility that will lighten your stress load and provide a stronger base for mental health. What we believe determines how we behave, so let's set our families up for success with the building blocks of neural flexibility.  K to 12 Rescue Mission: https://www.academicrescuemission.com Christian Community College: https://www.veritascc.us CVCU degree programs: https://www.cvcu.us Book Dr. Lisa to speak: https://www.DrLisaDunne.com @DrLisaDunne

I'm all about breaking free from broken systems, so when our family heard about CHM twelve years ago, we jumped on board and never looked back. Americans are the sickest country in the developed world--and the vast majority of that diagnosis is what is called "preventable" disease. Preventable means you can prevent it! You have the ability, the agency, to live a healthier life. Why not partner with a faith-based group that wants to support your health instead of enabling your sickness? If you're ready to break free from traditional "sick care" programs that weigh down both your heart AND your bank account, don't miss this interview with Lauren Gajdek, Executive Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries.

Part 2: Every movement has a history, a moment in time where visionaries and pioneers stepped out and refused to part of the status quo. Before the Industrial Era, homeschooling was the common modality of the masses. But for over 150 years, children were pulled from the home, educated en masse, and treated as cogs in a machine. That was, until 1978, when across the US, pockets of "family schools" suddenly began popping up, unbeknownst to one another. One such "family schooler," Colonel Ray Moore, tells his story on part one of this show. He is considered to be the founder of what we know today as the modern homeschool movement. Learn about the history, the sacrifice, and his current work with Public School Exit and Exodus Mandate. Homeschooling works. You can do it; we can help.

"Children enter school as questions marks," Neil Postman chastised, "and they leave school as periods." What is happening in the scholastic environment to crush intrigue? Developmentalists have shown that children have what is known as epistemic curiosity, a need for understanding. But when they enter a traditional school environment, their question rate drops from one every two minutes to less than one every two hours. Modern education is not inspiring curiosity; it's undermining it, silencing it. Join Dr. Dunne on today's show as we unpack the value of a question, and learn how you can stoke the fires of curiosity by utilizing the Socratic method with your children, grandchildren, college students, and employees. Learn more about CVCU's signature Socratic method at CVCU.us. 

Have you ever wondered about the power of words? Not just the words we speak over ourselves and our circumstances, but about the collective power of words as a culture-shaping entity? What if words were being used all around us right now to shift ideas, to create division, to engineer a future for our nation? Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for an interview with John Brown graduate Dr. Marlene McMillan, author of Mountains of Deceit: How the Dialectic Process has Infected the Culture. When we are surrounded by mindless, dull words that sear our consciences, we lose our individuality, our capacity for personal decision making, and our liberty is at stake. "Whoever controls the language controls the outcome," Dr. Marlene says. Learn how you can apply the language of liberty instead of the language of bondage over your realm of influence.

In the 20 years since Dr. Dunne has been a homeschooling parent, she has seen more and more evidence of the fallout from traditional education. All around us, in our communities and our churches, we see the tragic fruit of a sterile, soulless process of educational methodologies that literally suck the joy out of learning.

Parents often buy the lie that they are not equipped, not educated, not "expert" enough to homeschool their kids. The data proves otherwise! Moms, dads, you are the number one ingredient required for your child's socio-academic success! Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she interviews fellow homeschool leader Diana Kluwin, and learn about the many support options available to you as a homeschool family, including record keeping and coaching.

Modern education is broken, and the result has been disastrous dysfunction in our nation's youngest citizens. Maybe your kids or grandkids have come home saying they've been bullied or pressured by classmates or teachers. Maybe you've seen the conversations on social media demonstrating the sociopolitical nonsense that has pervaded America's classrooms.

In the 1960s, a phrase was circulated on public television as a result of rising crime in the city: "It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?" The PSA was supposed to alert parents to check in on their kids and make sure they were safe. Today, the question is a sobering reminder for public school parents. "Do you know where your children are?" In today's interview, Pacific Justice Institute President Brad Dacus shares about an alarming public school trend: students in government education centers are being taken from their homes after confiding in a teacher or guidance counselor about some point of disagreement with a parent. This is yet one more example of the toxic traits of traditional education. Parents, learn more about the perils of public ed on today's interview, and find out what you can do to break free from the system. Education is broken. We can fix it.

Did you know that there is a language protein, FOXP2, that signals the brain to higher levels of chatter? Scientists say that humans speak between 7,000 and 20,000 words a day, and the Bible tells us that each of those words we speak over ourselves, over others, over our circumstances, has power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, Proverbs 18:21 reminds us, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Whether we speak 7K or 20K words today, let's make them count for the kingdom.

From Harry Harlow's first scientific presentation on love in 1958, scientists (and romanticists) have long been fascinated with this most powerful of human emotions.

A recent study analyzes the effect of decades of socialization and its impact on population growth--a socialization experiment that governments are now regretting and attempting to reverse. But can these generational worldviews be shifted back to a place of health and hope? It's a vital question, because America's kids face a similar danger. After decades of being saturated by the IV drip of indoctrination in public schools, their worldview is growing more anti-faith and anti-family focused with every year. What can you do as a parent, pastor, or community advocate to reverse the trend? Join Dr. Dunne for today's show to find out more, and join the Academic Rescue Mission today!

Have you checked in on your dorsolateral prefrontal cortex lately? :) If you've found yourself tending toward a glass-empty rather than glass-full mindset, this is a good time for a neural checkup! A scarcity mindset can limit our brain function, reduce our ability to control impulses--and even cause significant declines in our IQ. Wow! Join Dr. Lisa as she unpacks some striking similarities between Jonah and Scrooge, focusing on three heart postures we want to watch out for in our own lives. 

If you haven't heard, there is an all-out war being waged against homeschoolers right now. Public school districts are literally closing their doors because homeschooling has become the educational methodology of choice--and for good reason! Families realized in 2020 that they had moral and academic freedom over their children, and after pulling them out of the failing public system, their kids are thriving! Scroll back on this podcast to hear all the stats on why Dr. Lisa believes as both a parent and a 25-year veteran of higher education that homeschooling is THE superior educational methodology for the current era! Join Dr. Lisa in this special episode as she interviews lifelong homeschooler Ethan Dunne as he shares his insights on school, life, theater, and the value of mental margin.

What's wrong with modern education? Over the last three years, this question has swelled from an outlier's whisper to a resounding multigenerational roar. Traditional education is broken. Absolutely. But we can fix it! Join Dr. Lisa Dunne on today's show to discover the benefits of a church-based academy. A church-based academy an helps reverse the trend of peer orientation and replace it with parent orientation, supporting the Luke 1:17 model of restoring the hearts of the parents to the children. A church-based academy increases intergenerational connectivity, providing a rich framework of relational discipleship and mentoring, providing young women with hope and vision, and providing young men with the training they need to carry the mantle of manhood. Finally, a church-based academy restores the local church the center of spiritual formation and community, providing a holistic approach to family discipleship and the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Modern education's dysfunction is a solvable problem! Learn more at ARM, AcademicRescueMission.com. 

How can you develop a legacy of generational gratitude in your home? In an era where all-access materialism reigns, where entitlement-enhanced messages constantly flood the airwaves, it can be easy to focus more on our have-nots than on our haves. But did you know that gratitude is a learned behavior--one we can cultivate in our homes and our organizations? Join Dr. Lisa on today's show to discover the physiological, neurological, spiritual, and relational benefits of thankfulness.  

America's education system is broken. We know this instinctively because we see the fruit: low academic performance. Functional illiteracy. Skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression. An anti-faith, anti-family environment. Many parents  are contemplating their kids' scholastic futures, dreading the ramifications of public education but sickened (rightly so) by the cost of private education. Are these polar extremes the only hope for the next generation? Before you make that next big academic decision, consider the impact of the educational ecosystem on our mental, relational, and spiritual health, and ask your family some tough questions: Are you in an allegiance with Truth? Are you pursuing kingdom objectives? Or are you simply adding volume to the clanging gong of popular opinion? If we are leading our families down a pathway that conflicts with truth, it's time to draw a line in the sand and live set apart, consecrated lives. Join Dr. Dunne for today's show to get envisioned for a new way, a better way, a responsible model of education that won't leave you (or your kids) woke or broke in the pursuit of future goals.

A new research report furthers the concern that our youngest generations (though certainly not only the young) are wading through a significant season of relational distress, an isolation that has swept over them through as a result of their sociocultural conditioning. What can parents and teens themselves do to help reconnect the relational ties that are scientifically proven to bolster emotional, psychological, and even physiological health? Join Dr. Dunne on today's show as she unpacks the formula of friendship.

Growing up in City Heights, Ellis California Jones saw the best and the worst of what San Diego was capable of offering: opportunities that could lead to advancement or addiction, independence or incarceration. After reaching his dreams of playing football on a college scholarship, Ellis found himself running with the wrong crowd, making decisions that eventually put him behind bars. And it was there that he saw the irony of lifelong drug addicts circling in and out of prison. It was there that he developed his leadership skills, helping other inmates earn their GED, and it was there that he discovered--to his surprise--the common ground he shared with the conservative party. Today, Ellis is running for District 4 City Council in San Diego. Tune in as Dr. Dunne interviews Ellis California Jones on his faith journey, his life lessons, and his hopes for the streets of San Diego.  

You've no doubt seen the DEI acronym sweeping across the globe. What does it mean, and how does it affect us? While Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has rejected DEI, Biden has declared a sweeping bow-the-knee mandate to its every whim. What is the truth behind the push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in every market, in every school, in virtually eery company across the globe? Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for a lively interview with Kevin McGary as they unpack the findings in his latest book DEI in 3D.

We talk a great deal today about children's diets (and rightly so), but caring for the next generation goes beyond the physical. A child who is well fed but spiritually, mentally, and emotionally malnourished is not a thriving child.  How can we ensure that we are stirring up the gifts, the ideas, the innovation of the next generation? Join us for today's show as Dr. Dunne and Ebey Sorenson talk about one of the formative philosophy books in the My Father's World Bundle, For the Children's Sake. 

America's education crisis is a solvable problem. On today's show, Dr. Lisa explains the three pillars of effective education and what you can do to break free from the system. CVCU is helping churches across the US reach the next generation through an Academic Rescue Mission (ARM) that is shifting culture. This model will work in any community anywhere in the US. Luke 6:40 says that the student will become like the teacher. If we want to turn the next generation around, we must answer those two age-old questions from Plato: Who is teaching the children, and what are they being taught? Learn more at CVCU.us. 

According to a report by the Parents Defending Education, the Communist Chinese Party has been fostering relationships with American public schools through its Confucius Institute and Confucius Classroom agendas. PDE has tracked affiliations in 143 schools--and it's no surprise where the direct tie leads. It's no surprise what entity, left unchecked for so many years, is diluting and dividing the patriotic spirit, leaving behind a generation that is decidedly ant-faith, anti-family, and anti-America. Parents, there is a concerted effort to undermine your home. It's time for a public school exit from preschool to college. Join the rescue mission at CVCU.us. 

Inquiry-based learning is an academic buzzword today, but what does it really mean, and how can it help students to think critically?

Thomas Jefferson reminded our early nation that true education has two mandatory components: A mentor and the classics . CVCU is excited to announce a structured approach to the classics in our newest PK to high school model. Join Dr. Dunne as she interviews the curriculum for our junior and senior high homeschoolers, The Principle Approach method. In this interview, Foundation of American Christian Education Teaching Director Dr. Max Lyons shares the history of this approach, which was founded in 1940 as America faced the threat of socialism. Sound familiar? Now, more than ever, it's time for a public school exit. CVCU will be offering training in both of our fall curricular choices at our upcoming conference at Chula Vista Christian University, and we'd love for you to join us! Be sure to check out all of our CVCU events designed to support you on your journey, from conferences to camps to classes to our signature Socratic college degree programs for all ages.

Have you been wanting to do something to save the next generation from public school indoctrination but wondering how your church can practically step into the rescue mission? Maybe you think your building is too small to accommodate students. Maybe you think your staff is overtaxed or your congregation wouldn't support it or your community wouldn't be interested. Find out why none of those reasons are likely to be true! Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she interviews one of her latest academy startups in Conroe, Texas. As a smaller church with limited space, the pastors weren't sure if a homeschool academy was right for them. But after only one semester in operation, Harvest Family Academy has already doubled in size, and this church is seeing a tremendous impact on the community. The harvest is ready, friends! We can have your plug-and-play mission in a box school up and running in just four weeks! Join the rescue mission for the next generation at DrLisaDunne.com.
