In the final episode of our Homeschool Dad Series, David Nunnery sits down for a heart-to-heart with David Mills about a topic that doesn't get talked about enough: the vital role of the father in the home. Let's be honest—it's easy for dads to feel like “the principal” or just the “financial provider.” But God has called us to be so much more. David Nunnery and David Mills dive deep into what it actually looks like to lead your family spiritually and educationally without feeling overwhelmed. From practical ways to engage in your kids' daily learning to the life-changing power of mentorship and finding your “tribe” through the Men's Alliance, this episode is packed with the encouragement every dad needs. Men’s Challenge: Tonight at dinner, you're the moderator. Instead of asking “How was school?”, ask these two questions: “How did you see God working in your day?” “What is one thing you learned today that surprised you?” Key Takeaways: Healthy men create healthy families, and healthy families create a healthy country. Men should not outsource their children’s education or spiritual growth. Homeschooling can happen in everyday situations, not just at a desk. Dads should ask their wives how they can support them in homeschooling. Dads should equip their kids with answers to tough questions about faith. Engaging in conversations with kids can happen naturally during daily activities.

Is your family's sports schedule life-giving or life-draining? In this episode of the Homeschool Dad Series, David Nunnery and Owen Strachan dive into the “theology of the sidelines.” They discuss how coaching and athletics provide a unique “Deuteronomy 6” opportunity for fathers to disciple their children through shared struggle, hard work, and adversity. Learn how to set healthy boundaries, keep Christ at the center of the court, and use sports as a tool to build masculine character in a passive culture. Men’s Challenge: Sit down with your spouse this week and define your family’s “non-negotiables” regarding extracurricular activities. Whether it's protecting the Sunday Sabbath or ensuring you have dinner together at least four nights a week, establish these boundaries before the next season starts to ensure your schedule reflects your spiritual priorities. Key Takeaways: Theology is Practical: Theology isn't just for academics; it's about understanding God as a “self-giving Father” and reflecting that through sacrifice for your own family. The Power of Shared Struggle: Sports (or any craft like woodworking or music) provide a “common goal” that fosters deep relationships and allows for “sideline discipleship” during car rides and practices. Developing Masculine Character: In a culture that often penalizes assertiveness, sports offer young men a healthy outlet for aggression and a training ground for overcoming adversity. Guarding Against Idolatry: Families must set “non-negotiables” (e.g., no games on Sundays or Wednesday nights) to ensure sports remain a tool for growth rather than a master of the home. The “Attacking” Mindset: Teaching kids to “attack life” and expect adversity helps them build a Christ-centered identity that doesn’t cower when things get difficult.

In this episode of the Homeschool Dads series, David Nunnery talks with Isaac Tolpin, a seasoned parent and speaker, discussing the challenges and opportunities of courageous parenting. They explore the importance of intentionality in raising confident Christian children, overcoming fear in spiritual leadership, and the role of technology in modern parenting. The conversation emphasizes the need for fathers to take an active role in their children’s spiritual education and to prepare them for a rapidly changing world, including the implications of AI. David and Isaac also share practical advice for family devotions and navigating technology responsibly. Men’s Challenge: Together with your wife, create one new family rule or boundary in regards to media. Set clear boundaries after taking inventory for how media is affecting your family dynamic- video games, social media, phone distraction. Key Takeaways: Courageous parenting requires intentionality, commitment, and openly addressing uncomfortable topics (including technology). Spiritual Leadership: Fathers must actively lead the family, simplifying devotions to ensure they are effective and consistent. Navigating Technology & AI: Equip children to use tech and AI, focusing on open communication rather than isolation. Preparation for a tech-driven future is essential. Development Focus: Overcoming fear allows for effective leadership, and nurturing creative writing skills remains crucial for development.

In this conversation on the Homeschool Dad Series, Mark Hancock tackles the rising tide of challenges facing boys in modern society, offering a powerful call to action for parents and leaders. He breaks down the alarming statistics—including boys’ growing academic performance gap and their disproportionate representation in special education—and identifies the crisis of absent father figures and the damaging cultural narrative of “toxic masculinity.” Mark emphasizes that boys are desperately seeking a legitimate path to manhood and positive male leadership. This episode is an essential listen for anyone committed to equipping the next generation of men with the courage, character, and mentorship they need to thrive and reverse this dangerous cultural trend. Men’s Challenge: Commit to a simple, intentional activity with your son that models biblical manhood and builds lasting memories. Plan an adventure. This doesn’t have to be a big trip. It could be as simple as an afternoon hike, a fishing trip, building a fire in the backyard, or even learning a practical skill together, like changing a tire or using a power tool. The goal is to get away from the distractions of everyday life and into a different environment. Key Takeaways: The Crisis of Masculinity: Boys today are struggling in an environment that often labels their natural draw toward risk, competition, and activity as “toxic” or disruptive, leading to disengagement and confusion about their identity. Academic and Developmental Lag: Statistics show boys are falling behind girls in nearly every academic category, are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD or learning disabilities, and are less likely to enroll in or complete college. The Father Figure Gap: A significant number of boys lack an active father figure in the household, creating a severe need for positive male mentorship to provide essential guidance, values, and character formation. A Call for Intentional Mentorship: Dads and “dad-like figures” are crucial. Boys require Christ-centered, male-centric leadership and mentorship—delivered through real-world examples and adventure—to help them find their identity and embrace the virtues of godly manhood.

What do tacos have to do with homeschooling and parenting? Actually, the answer is everything! In this episode of the Home School Dad Series, host David Nunnery engages in a deep conversation with Israel Wayne about the vital role fathers play. They explore how simple things—like sharing a meal—can be the "secret sauce" for homeschool success, effectively fueling your family's discipleship. This conversation goes beyond academics, focusing on the biblical foundations for home education and the necessity of strong family relationships. Israel Wayne shares powerful insights on reframing homeschooling as an extension of parenting responsibilities, how dads can improve the fuel for success, and the critical importance of spending quality time with kids. The episode concludes with practical challenges for fathers to engage more deeply with their children's education and build strong, Christ-centered connections. Men's Challenge: Sit down with your wife and write out your family's one-minute "why" for homeschooling. Share with your children. Key Takeaways: Homeschooling is an extension of parenting, not a separate task. The goal of parenting is to prepare children for life. Strong marriages lead to effective homeschooling. Fathers must take responsibility for their children's education. Biblical teachings emphasize the role of fathers in discipline. Time spent with children is crucial for influence. Dads should lead the charge in homeschooling efforts. Prioritizing the Word of God is essential in family life.

What does sharing your faith, fatherhood, and homeschooling have in common. Well, evangelism is a very important element of the Christian experience and discipleship that fathers can take the lead on. In this episode of the Home School Dad series, hosts Camden and David Nunnery engage with EZ Zwayne, discussing the vital role fathers play in homeschooling and evangelism. They explore how dads can overcome fears associated with sharing the gospel, the importance of understanding their identity as ambassadors for Christ, and the need for compassion in evangelism. The conversation emphasizes practical tips for involving children in outreach and the significance of leading by example. The episode concludes with a weekly challenge for dads to actively engage in sharing their faith with their families and communities. Studies from research companies like Barna and Lifeway show that fewer than 5% of all self-professing Christians have ever led anyone to Christ and less than 60% have even tried to share the Gospel. Clearly there is a gap of confidence, enthusiasm, and even identification with what it means to be a Christ-followers. Join us today to learn how fathers can help fill this gap and why they would even want to. Men's Challenge: This week, find a moment to connect a normal, everyday event to a gospel truth. This could be a scene in a movie, a difficult moment on the playground, or a conversation with a neighbor. The goal is to start thinking evangelistically by seeing how the gospel applies to everything. Key Takeaways: Dads can play a crucial role in homeschooling by being involved and supportive. Evangelism is often seen as confrontational, but it can be approached with compassion and care. Understanding our identity as ambassadors for Christ is key to sharing the gospel. Sharing personal testimonies can be a powerful form of evangelism. Discipleship includes teaching others to share their faith.

In this episode of the Home School Dads series, David Nunnery is joined by Davis Carman, president of Apologia Educational Ministries, to tackle the essential role of a dad in the homeschool journey: encouraging and supporting his wife. Davis shares profound insights and actionable advice for husbands who want to move past feeling "lost" and become proactive leaders. This conversation is key for every dad committed to discipling his kids, strengthening his marriage, and fostering a confident, peaceful homeschool environment. Men's Challenge: Pay close attention to your wife's day without jumping in to solve problems. Observe her routines, listen to her tone of voice, and notice the moments she seems weary or overwhelmed. Based on your observations, choose one tangible, non-academic task to take off her plate for the entire week. This could be anything from handling all the evening clean-up to packing co-op lunches or managing the kids' bedtime routine. Make it your responsibility, and do it with a cheerful attitude. Key Takeaways: Own the Responsibility, Not Just the Workload: The wife carries the bulk of the day-to-day workload, but the husband must carry 100% of the responsibility for the family's mission and direction to prevent burnout. Create a Family Mission Statement: Dads should sit down with their wives and proactively develop a clear mission statement or "Elevator Speech" for why they homeschool. This acts as a compass when the school year gets difficult. The Three R's of Homeschooling: Prioritize Relationships (God, spouse, siblings), Reasoning (critical thinking), and Resolve (discovering God's calling) over mere academics. Be the Defender and File Keeper: The husband should be the one to defend the homeschooling decision to critics (friends, family, in-laws) and handle the administrative duties (knowing state laws, keeping records, standardized testing sign-ups). Provide a Weekly Planning Retreat: A practical way to support Mom is to take the kids for a consistent 2-4 hour block (like a Sunday evening) so she can leave the house, decompress, and plan the week. This boosts her confidence significantly. Never Ask "What Did You Do All Day?": When re-engaging with the family after work, do not question her productivity. Instead, immediately engage by asking the kids what they learned and taking the leadership role (the "captain is home"). Lead Family Worship/Discipleship: Use the dinner table or bedtime as a "Deuteronomy 6 moment" for asking spiritual questions, having conversations, and leading family worship.

Without knowledge, Reason carries a man into the wilderness and Rebellion joins company. The man is not to be blamed: it is a glorious thing to perceive your mind, your reasoning power, acting of its own accord as it were and producing argument after argument in support of any initial notion; how is a man to be persuaded, when he wakes up to this tremendous power he has of involuntary reasoning, that his conclusions are not necessarily right, but rather that he who reasons without knowledge is like a child playing with edged tools?

Dads bring a unique and much-needed perspective to a family's homeschooling endeavor. Many dads misunderstand homeschooling or have an incorrect idea of what home education is. Some dads are hesitant to start homeschooling because they have tons of questions that frankly are best answered by a fellow dad. In this week's episode, Carrie is joined by a homeschooling dad, Zeph Scotti, and his 2nd generational homeschool wife, Claire. This week's coffee break is full of transparent talk about homeschooling from a dad's perspective. Zeph shares his initial hesitation, his misunderstandings, his homeschool epiphanies, his role in the education process, and how his priorities and perspectives have changed since starting this journey. Zeph and Claire are full of great (and humorous) advice! Pour yourself a cup of coffee, invite your hubby to listen along, and join Carrie for some coffee and conversation.

Jason White's girls have been homeschooled their entire lives - until this year. His three daughters went to public school last fall and now they're back home again, just like the rest of us. Jason has some advice that can help the rest of us who are figuring out homeschool for the first time.
My kids think Zac Morris is the coolest parent at our commonwealth school, but I have only heard snatches here and there of his story. I knew from the start of this podcast that I wanted to interview him, partly because he's a homeschool dad in a world of moms, but also because I knew he'd be honest and straightforward. He's dealt with addiction, self-destructive behavior, and a difficult upbringing. He had some crazy stories to share from his time living and working in Alaska. What he shared reminded me of the power of the individual to have faith in God and change for the better. I also learned how incredible his wife, Courtney, is and how I should have had her on the podcast as well! Zac would probably laugh at me for saying I was moved by his story, but I was. This podcast does reference drug and alcohol use and sexual behavior, but nothing is explicit. Please use your judgment on what is suitable for kids under 18.

This is the first in a multi-part series of back-and-forth discussion on God's view of education, and how that manifests itself in the family. Thanks for listening!
This is the first of our weekly podcasts for the homeschool dad. Call in at 206.888.4464 or e-mail thehomsechooldad@gmail.com with your comments and suggestions. This week's tip - The Dice Game!
