Jase and Al reminisce about their family's brief history as teenage “runaways,” when no one bothered to send a search party—and how that hands-off parenting style turned out to be pretty effective. Guests Jeremy and Melissa Souza of Good Simple Living share how they built an off-grid homestead from scratch, raised their kids with purpose and grit, and found real community beyond the internet. The guys, Jeremy, and Melissa laugh about learning self-reliance the hard way, surviving on wit and curiosity long before homesteading was cool.

Today we're talking about your God-given right to raise, educate, and disciple your children without government interference. New Jersey is pushing two bills—A5825 and A5796—that would tighten control over homeschoolers, while UNESCO and the UN advance “global citizenship” and standardized education worldwide.My friend Mike Farris—founder of HSLDA and a longtime defender of homeschool freedom—joins me to explain what these proposals actually do, why “curriculum alignment” is so dangerous, how treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child come into play, and why what happens in New Jersey won't stay there.If you homeschool—or just care about parental rights and liberty—this episode is your call to stay informed, stay engaged, and stay off the bench.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Post-election, I step back from the noise to ask where America is headed—and why cities are embracing leaders and policies at odds with our Judeo-Christian roots. We'll unpack the cultural and spiritual fallout of rising socialism and anti-Semitism, and what shifts in places like New York and Dearborn mean for the rest of the country. Then author Becca Keating shares what life under Sharia law looked like in the Middle East—and why Americans must grasp the worldview behind it. This is a call for believers to pray, vote, defend what's good, and engage locally with courage.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Today I'm joined by my friend Abby from M is for Mama for an honest, hope-filled talk about motherhood, calling, and staying grounded in God's design for women. We're tackling the lies of feminism, the myth that you can “have it all,” and the beauty of embracing each season with purpose and joy. Abby shares wisdom from her new book You Bet Your Stretch Marks—a reminder that the hard work of mothering is sacred, eternal work. Whether you're in the toddler trenches or raising teens, this episode will encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus and your heart anchored at home.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

These so-called “off-year” elections shape far more than we realize—our schools, taxes, safety, and freedoms are decided at the local level. In this episode, I'm joined by Washington State GOP Chair Rep. Jim Walsh and Camas City Councilwoman Leslie Llewellyn to talk about why turnout is so low, how we can change it, and what happens when people of faith engage. If you've ever wondered whether your vote really counts, this conversation will leave you ready to make a difference.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

David Platt is here today, and I'm SO excited about this conversation. He recently got back from Brazil and shared some incredible stories from his time there, and we talk about the role we play in the Gospel reaching every nation, including unreached people groups. We were never meant to watch the harvest from the sidelines. We were created to experience life by leading others to life. The harvest isn't just a mission—it's an invitation. If you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 116 (the guidebook is available for you at anniefdowns.com/seasons).  . . . . . If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'd also love our last episode with David Platt, episode 857, where we talked about singleness and the Church. In fact, if you're single today or you have a friend who is, we'd love to invite you to come be a part of Single Purpose League. It's a community of women who are finding their single purpose and their purpose while single. The price goes up to $9/month starting November 1st, but if you join this week, you'll lock in our OG price of $7/month (or it's 10% off if you pay for a full year). This community is so special and we'd love to have you! We've also just announced a brand new level of Single Purpose League that's specifically for single, Christian women in ministry. It's called the SPL Leadership Mastermind and we're so pumped about this! It includes a monthly zoom call with me and Katy and our first one is next week.

Fall is so packed full and it can be hard to prioritize our bodies. And what does it even mean to be a good steward of our bodies without obsessing over them? Jordan Lee Dooley is back to help us with that today! She's in a totally new season of life — mom of three under three. She opens up about how so many of us wrestle with this idea that our bodies are failing us and this new understanding of what it really means to steward our bodies — not just like them or fix them, but truly honor them as part of the calling God's given us. Her new book, Be Good to Your Body, dives deep into that idea. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation. If you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 114.

Today we're re-airing a special conversation that I got to have with my sister, Tatum Green, and our friend and counselor, David Thomas. We first shared this conversation back in February when Where Did TJ Go? released, and it's one that so many of you have told me has stayed with you. Today on October 15th — Infant Loss Awareness Day — we wanted to bring it back, to honor the families who have walked through loss, to hold space for your stories, and to remind you that you're not alone. This is a tender and honest conversation — we talk about grief, faith, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when life doesn't turn out the way you thought it would. David offers such wise, gentle guidance, and I'm just so grateful for how he helped us put words to what can feel impossible to say. If you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, you'll find note-taking pages for this episode back in the winter section, on page 19.  . . . . .

What do I do with my fears in this season? Today I to talk to my friend Caroline Shankle and her mom, who you know already and LOVE, Melanie Shankle! So many of our friends are battling seasons of fear or seasons of anxiety, especially Caroline's generation and her first book, written with her mom, is called The Lion and the Bear and comes out tomorrow. If you have a teenager or college girl and grab a copy for them to start during fall break or save it for a Christmas gift.

He's someone whose music has been a meaningful part of my life since college.  He is a GRAMMY Award Winning CCM artist, and his new album, 'The King Is Still The King' just released and it is just so beautiful.

Most of us listen to music every day—but what if it could do more than just fill the silence? In this powerful conversation with father–daughter duo Mort and Sara Sherman, authors of Resonant Minds: The Transformative Power of Music One Note at a Time, we explore how music shapes brains, bonds families, and even heals communities. From lowering stress and strengthening executive function to synchronizing our brainwaves with others, music is not just entertainment—it's a tool for resilience, connection, and joy. They dive into how families can bring intention to their musical lives: building playlists for focus and calm, using rhythm to spark creativity, and transforming ordinary days into memory-rich experiences. Whether you're a lifelong musician or someone who simply hums in the car, this episode will inspire you to see music—and parenting—in a whole new light.

What happens when you raise kids without smartphones, video games, or social media in a world where nearly everyone else is plugged in? Twins Andrew and Evan Hempe are living proof that screen-free childhoods don't leave kids behind—they launch them ahead. In this powerful and refreshing episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Andrew and Evan to share their firsthand experience growing up differently—and why it gave them the confidence, creativity, and connection so many of their peers are missing. From conversations about dating in the digital age to battling conformity with humor and real hobbies, these 21-year-olds deliver truth with clarity and heart. They also expose the myth of the “binge gamer,” give parents permission to follow their gut, and make the case that raising screen-free kids isn't just possible—it's better.

Four years ago, Dr. Chris Winter—the world's “Sleep Whisperer” and author of The Rested Child —became the very first guest on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. That one conversation sparked a journey that's now reached 550 episodes and over 12 million downloads. In this milestone episode, Dr. Winter returns to share why screens, light, and temperature may be quietly sabotaging your family's sleep—and how surprisingly simple changes can transform both rest and mood. With practical, often ingenious tips (think: lightbulb swaps, dimmer switches, and even warming a bed with water bottles), this episode will leave you feeling empowered to help your kids and yourself sleep better starting tonight. From the lost “time cues” of old TV schedules to the role of heavy work in preparing the body for deep rest, Dr. Winter reveals fascinating insights you won't hear anywhere else. He explains why the average pediatrician gets only an hour of sleep training, why excessive sleepiness in kids is often misdiagnosed, and why he believes no child should be labeled with depression or attention issues without a sleep evaluation. Whether you're a sleep science geek or a tired parent desperate for solutions, this full-circle conversation will leave you both nostalgic and newly equipped for the school year ahead.

Lucas, author of Woke Jesus, brings a powerful perspective on how wokeness has infiltrated the pulpit and what it means for believers navigating these cultural shifts.

Whether you're a church leader or a believer seeking to stay grounded in faith, this episode will encourage and equip you to think critically and biblically about the pressing issues of our time.Lucas Miles | lucasmiles.org | nfluencechurch.orgPrime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

What do a political smear campaign, a battle for our children's minds, and a hidden threat in your next meal have in common?   This week, we're connecting the dots. Roger Stone reveals fresh evidence behind the Russ!@ Gate setup. Trent Talbot shares how faith-based story hours are pushing back against cultural decay. Shemane opens up about the health crisis that nearly ended her life—and the truth about toxic mold.

With events now in all 50 states, Talbot talks about the cultural battle over children's imaginations, how parents can host their own story hours, and why reclaiming public spaces for faith-based values matters now more than ever. [23:27] From near-death illness to ‘Abundantly Well Shemane shares her deeply personal journey from debilitating migraines and hospital visits to discovering toxic mold in her home—and demolishing it.

In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, a favorite guest Heather Thompson Day returns for her second conversation, diving into the tough realities of childhood bullying and how we can protect our children from harm. Drawing from her own experiences, Heather discusses the impact of exclusion, the importance of empathy, and how the brand-new children's book she wrote with her daughter London called Can I Sit Here?, is helping kids understand and process loneliness and bullying. Heather also shares a unique practice she's used to track God's faithfulness, reinforcing the power of resilience and gratitude in challenging times. This episode is a reminder that as parents, we must recognize the gravity of our children's emotional struggles and step in to guide them. It's about teaching them to stand up for themselves and others, while also showing them how to be the kind of friend who sees and supports others in need.

Bestselling novelist Amanda Dykes joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation that will stir your heart, lift your eyes, and invite you to marvel again at the wonder that surrounds us. In this episode, Amanda shares the tender backstory behind her career shift from English teacher to award-winning author, and how deep grief gave way to deep creativity. We explore the making of her stunning new book A Pocketful of Wonder, a field guide for children to experience God's creation through poem, prayer, play, and music. Along the way, Amanda and Ginny talk about the courage to pursue creativity, the mysterious work of God in delays and detours, and why beauty is not frivolous—it's essential. Amanda's words are a balm, reminding us that wonder is a battle cry in a heavy world, and that attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. You'll hear about concrete poems, whimsical squirrel illustrations, nature's instruments, and how a single drop of rain in the desert can unleash the aroma of hope.

It seems like it would be good to see culture focusing back in on femininity and women being willing to highlight the enjoyment of being back at home and all that comes with it, but when the focus is the aesthetic instead of the heart, it gets all out of balance. Let's look at what the Bible says about women being keepers at home, and what keeps us anchored there. Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

With a quiet stealth-like frequency, children's television programming is becoming more and more woke. So much so that conservative parents are becoming increasingly concerned. One doesn't have to look far to see that gender ideology has made inroads on shows like Muppet Babies which features a transgender character, or Blues Clues and You that has trumpeted an animated “Pride Parade” hosted by a drag queen. Even Sesame Street, considered to be the gold standard in children's television programming, has celebrated LGBTQ Pride Month for many years. Seeing this negative trend, Kirk Cameron has joined in partnership with Brave Books to create a new children's television series to counter some of these progressive concepts that are increasingly permeating the children's television programming landscape. Currently streaming on Great American Pure Flix, Iggy and Mr. Kirk is a live action/animated series that is designed for children and families. The program follows a curious iguana and his friend, Mr. Kirk, as they explore engaging yet profound life lessons that are grounded in Scripture.  Each episode demonstrates faith-based values like kindness, courage and compassion all seen through the lens of effective storytelling, humor, and music. Think Veggie Tales meets Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. In addition to Cameron who plays the lead role of Mr. Kirk, the show also features Disney Channel alum Leigh-Allyn Baker and renowned American puppeteer John Kennedy.Cameron joins me to chat about the role entertainment plays in the values our children develop and observe through the media they consume. Listen as he encourages parents to be more intentional about kids having positive entertainment to choose from.

What if technology didn't keep kids inside—but actually helped launch them out the front door? In this powerful third conversation with COSMO Technologies CEO Russell York, we explore how family-first tech can help revive real-world childhoods, spark neighborhood friendships, and reconnect parents to peace of mind. With their newest release, the Junior Track 5, COSMO has reimagined GPS-enabled kids' watches to prioritize freedom, safety, and community. Russell shares why helicopter parenting is giving way to “satellite parenting”—a thoughtful model that allows kids to roam while still staying connected. We talk about why Big Tech has failed families, how back-to-school season is the new New Year, and what it takes to make screen-free summers actually work. Whether you're homeschooling, working full-time, or somewhere in between, this episode offers both a mindset shift and a practical tool for reclaiming childhood in the digital age.

Can a single cup of tea shift your entire day? In one of her favorite episodes ever, Ginny sits down with herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett to explore the ancient, globally practiced art of herbalism—and why it might be exactly what our stressed-out, fast-paced culture needs. Rachelle's book, Naturally: The Herbalist's Guide to Health and Transformation, offers both a gentle invitation and a practical guide for weaving herbs into everyday life. From nervines and adaptogens to bitters and mushrooms, you'll learn how plants can support sleep, digestion, resilience, clarity, emotional balance, and so much more. This episode demystifies herbalism and proves that you don't need a homestead or decades of knowledge to start—you just need a teapot and a few minutes.

Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, or the desire to reconnect with nature and yourself, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, expanded, and inspired to take one small step toward well-being.

What happens when you spend ten years chasing a dream—only to face rejection again and again? Melissa Ferguson did just that. In this hilarious and heartfelt conversation, Melissa shares how she went from writing secretly in a Walmart-adjacent extended stay to becoming a bestselling author with multiple book-to-movie deals. She's a homesteading mom of four, a romantic comedy writer, and now a children's book author with Our Friendly Farmhouse, a stunning family-authored picture book rooted in real life. Melissa and Ginny dig into what it means to pursue creativity as a mom, why calculated risks matter, and how to build a life (and a farmhouse) one bold step at a time. From publishing realities to auction-day adrenaline to raising your neighbor's rabbits, this episode is both wildly entertaining and quietly motivating. Whether you're waiting for permission to chase a dream—or already chasing one—this is your nudge to keep going.

When the world feels upside down, Christian parents are called to stand firm—but what happens when the very systems meant to protect our children threaten their bodies, minds, and hearts? Catherine sits down with Leigh-Allyn Baker—former Disney star turned medical freedom advocate and children’s author—to unpack one of the most divisive and urgent issues facing families today: how to safeguard our kids’ health and souls in a culture that often disregards parental rights, pushes conformity, and floods young minds with spiritually corrosive media. Key Highlights from This Episode: The Battle for Medical Freedom: Leigh-Allyn details her family’s experience with vaccine injury, the shocking aftermath, and why she fled California to protect her children from mandates and discrimination. When Standing Up Comes with a Price: Hear Leigh-Allyn’s account of going viral after speaking to a Tennessee school board—only to be publicly labeled a “domestic terrorist.” What Parents Aren’t Being Told: Learn why informed consent is more important than ever—from questionable laws stripping exemptions, to stories that never make the news. A Deeper Look at “Safe” Expert Advice: Featuring an eye-opening segment with Dr. Marty MaKary on how misguided medical recommendations (like those that caused America’s peanut allergy epidemic) remind us to question everything. Guarding Kids' Hearts AND Minds: Leigh-Allyn shares the transformation in her own faith, how “what you let into your body and your spirit” truly matters, and the link between physical and spiritual health. Raising Kids with Courage: Discover Leigh Allyn’s new book, One Small Little Voice, and her work with Kirk Cameron on Iggy and Mr. Kirk—a wholesome, biblical kids’ show designed to counteract Hollywood’s harmful messages. Why CONTENT Matters: Understand the real agenda behind children’s programming today—and what you can do to fill your child’s mind with truth and light. Why This Conversation Matters:In an era when every sphere—from schools to screens—competes for our children’s hearts, Christian parents can’t afford to be passive or uninformed. This episode is both a wake-up call and a roadmap: Stand up. Ask questions. Protect your rights. And above all, pour godly wisdom, beauty, and love into the next generation. About the Guest: Leigh-Allyn Baker is an American actress. She had recurring roles on Charmed and Will & Grace, and a starring role as mother Amy Duncan on the Disney Channel sitcom Good Luck Charlie. After leaving California, she became an outspoken advocate for parental rights and medical freedom, drawing on her own family’s journey through vaccine injury. Now based in Tennessee, she has teamed up with Brave Books to release One Small Little Voice and is starring with Kirk Cameron in “Iggy and Mr. Kirk.” Episode Resources: One Small Little Voice by Leigh Allyn Baker Brave Books Brave Streaming Service “Iggy and Mr. Kirk” Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3 Leigh-Allyn’s Viral School Board Meeting “Exposing the Truth about Peanut Allergies” The Megyn Kelly Show Blind Spots by Dr. Marty Makary Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

There is tremendous cultural pressure on the traditional family from all directions: kid statement t-shirts, books, even beloved cartoons that seem harmless (I'm looking at you, Paw Patrol), commercials...and then the more obvious Drag Queen Story Hours. But we need to be discerning and look at the collective message that is being sent to our kids so we can be in charge of it in our homes. Join Trent Talbot, the Founder and CEO of Brave Books, and me as we talk about what we can do in our daily lives to protect the message our kids are hearing about the values that matter most to us.  Answers in Genesis | AnswersBibleCurriculum.com/HEIDI RVL Discipleship Curriculum | RVLCurriculum.com/heidi HEIDI10 Give Send Go | givesendgo.com Brave Books | heidibrave.com Lifestone Ministries | Lifestoneministries.com/heidi Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.
