Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week, we're talking about something every parent thinks about at some point: what are the things our kids are actually going to remember when they look back on childhood? Will it be the family vacations? Learning to ride a bike? Playing games together? Family traditions? Or maybe just those simple everyday moments that didn't seem all that important at the time. Especially as we're wrapping up the school year and heading into summer, we think this is a great topic to reflect on. We have some encouragement and thoughts to share as we talk about making memories and enjoying the time we have with our kids. We want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler. They are one of the best math curriculums around, and we believe they help more homeschoolers smile.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week, we are talking about raising capable kids. As homeschooling parents, it can be easy to get focused only on academics, grades, and checking boxes, but at the end of the day, we want to raise young adults who can work hard, solve problems, serve others, and confidently step into the real world. This week, we are joined by Lisa Nehring from Truth North Academy, It's Not That Hard to Homeschool, and Blue Collar Homeschool, and we talk about encouraging kids in their strengths, preparing them for life after homeschool, and why college isn't the only path to success.

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week, we're taking some time to encourage moms as we celebrate both National Teacher Appreciation Day and Mother's Day. Homeschool moms don't get nearly the recognition they deserve, so today is all about recognizing you and everything you do for your kids. From wiping runny noses and teaching your children to read, to dealing with attitudes, discipline, discipleship, and the countless other responsibilities that come with motherhood and homeschooling, the work never really ends, and often goes unnoticed. But we truly believe the impact you are making on your children is deep, meaningful, and lifelong. Our goal today is simply to encourage you and remind you that what you're doing matters more than you know. We hope you enjoy the episode! Before we start, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler.

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler podcast. We're having some fun this week talking about the four homeschool personalities and some homeschooling “hot takes.” From planner moms to relaxed homeschoolers and everything in between, we're seeing just how much our personalities shape the way we homeschool. We'll read through different homeschool scenarios and decide together which personality they fit best and along the way, hopefully remind you that there's no one “right” way to homeschool.

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler podcast. This week, we're talking about one of the biggest shifts in parenting, which is what it looks like to move from being in control when our kids are little to slowly letting go as they grow into adulthood.  We discuss the tension of parenting older kids, learning when to speak and when to stay quiet, and what it really means to “pass the baton” while maintaining the relationship. Even if you don't have adult kids yet, this is such an important conversation because the way we parent now lays the groundwork for those future relationships. It was a great conversation, and we hope you enjoy!  Before we start, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler.

Southside Tribe! This episode is not theory—it's reality. Today, we confront one of the darkest and most urgent issues in our world: human trafficking and the online sexual exploitation of children. What many assume happens “somewhere else” is happening right now—and often fueled by a demand much closer to home than we know or like to admit. We're joined again by former NFL player Mark Herzlich, now working with the International Justice Mission, who breaks down the global scale of this crisis and why awareness is more powerful than we think. We also hear from Cassie, a survivor from the Philippines whose story will stay with you long after this episode ends. Trafficked at just 12 years old, she now uses her voice to fight for those who still can't speak. This is a conversation about truth, justice, healing—and what it means to stand up for the most vulnerable.

A listen back on 2022 when our brother David French carved out some time to chat with us about the Christian call to justice and mercy, as well as sharing and breaking down one of his favorite passages of Scripture with us. We discuss the discrepancy between the early Christian Church's approach to engaging society as opposed to the nationalism and thirst for political power we see in today's times.

A natural sportsman from his youth, Mark was encouraged to pray to God by a fellow football player after battling through health challenges.

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we're talking about something I think a lot of you are going to relate to. We start things off with a message from a homeschool mom who shared that she's feeling overwhelmed right now—trying to juggle schooling her last two kids, being a grandma, planning a wedding, and everything else life is throwing at her. If you've ever felt like you're spinning a dozen plates at once, you are definitely not alone, and we want to encourage you today. We also discuss something that multiple listeners brought up: how do you get your 10–12-year-olds to actually care about what you're teaching? Sometimes they just don't see the value in what they're learning. We offer some tips and encouragement for that as well. As always, we hope this episode leaves you feeling encouraged!

Southside Tribe! This week, Ameen, KB, and Trip tackle one of the most pervasive pressures shaping modern life today: the constant cultural noise telling us that peace, security, and value come from having more. More money. More success. More influence. But as we walk through the teachings of Jesus and the wisdom of Scripture, we see a deeper truth—anxiety and greed are often rooted in the same lie: that our lives will finally feel secure once we have "enough". Jesus never said life would be found in the abundance of things—only in the abundance of God's grace. Through gratitude and thanksgiving, remembering God's faithfulness, and recalibrating our perspective through Scripture, anxiety begins to lose its grip. In a world constantly telling us what we lack, the squad calls believers back to the deeper riches of contentment, trust, and godliness rooted in the goodness of God. Pull up!

Hey everybody, welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! This week we had a really fun conversation with Audiobook reader Jim Hodges. We talk about something that has been incredibly powerful in our homeschooling over the years… books and audiobooks. There is something special about the way stories engage our kids' imaginations when they are listening or reading, picturing the characters, the places, and the adventure in their own minds. It's a very different experience from just watching something on a screen. We talk about why imagination matters, some of our family's and Jim's favorite books and audiobooks, and why he has been so passionate about creating content that is not only entertaining but also completely family-friendly. If you're looking for ways to encourage reading, build imagination, and find great content your whole family can enjoy together, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.

This week on The Smiling Homeschooler, Rissa joins Ben for a life update and a really honest conversation about homeschooling through different seasons. A few months ago, Rissa shared that she was walking through a very difficult time. During that season, homeschooling didn't look the way it normally does in their home. It felt heavier. Slower. Survival-mode some days. In this episode, they talk about what it looks like to homeschool when you're not at your best — when expectations have to shift, when grace has to grow, and when “just getting by” is actually enough. They also share encouragement for families who may be in a hard season right now, and the reminder that seasons do change. What feels overwhelming today won't last forever. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough… if you've ever felt behind… or if homeschooling looks different than you thought it would — this episode is for you. we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making what we do possible. let them know that you appreciate their support of us and check them out at teachingtextbooks.com  Today's show was also underwritten by Samaritan Ministries and Redem Healthshare.

Get our top ranked mobile app for iOS or Android! Healthcare shouldn't be the thing that decides whether you can take a risk, build a business, stay home with your kids, or say yes to the life you actually want—and in this conversation, Ginny Yurich talks with real-life friend Dustin Garrett from Samaritan Ministries about a different way forward. Instead of paying premiums into the ether and hoping the fine print works out, Dustin explains how healthcare sharing works person-to-person—real families helping real families—often with surprising clarity, freedom of choice, and a kind of human connection you don't get from an insurance portal. They dig into why the system feels so broken, why price transparency matters, how Samaritan has been doing this for decades, and what's new with Redeem Healthshare, the next-generation, all-digital option that adds features many families have asked for. If you've ever felt boxed in by “good benefits,” this episode will feel like someone opening a door.

Southside Tribe! Our brother Dr. Preston Sprinkle is back to discuss his new book, From Genesis to Junia, and the deeply debated question of women in church leadership. Preston shares about his three-and-a-half-year research journey—one that rivaled doctoral-level work—where he committed to studying not just voices that agreed with him, but the strongest arguments on the other side. Together we wrestle through Genesis, all the way to Paul's letters. This convo challenges listeners to distinguish between loving a narrative and loving the truth—and to approach controversial issues with curiosity rather than fear and assumptions. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to let Scripture speak on its own terms—even when it disrupts your theological framework—this episode invites you into that tension with grace, depth, and courage.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! This week, we're talking about something that almost every homeschool family faces at some point… what do you do when the people around you just don't understand homeschooling? For a lot of parents, choosing to homeschool doesn't just come with lesson plans and curriculum decisions — it comes with questions, raised eyebrows, and sometimes even criticism. Maybe it's extended family. Maybe it's friends. Maybe it's your culture or community. Maybe someone you love is saying, “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Those moments can make you second-guess yourself. You start wondering… am I doing the right thing? Do I have to prove something? Do I need to do this perfectly so no one can point fingers? Tonight we want to talk about that pressure. Where it comes from, how to handle it, and why you don't have to be perfect to be effective. We'll talk about being real, being confident in your conviction, and what it looks like to keep going even when support isn't there yet. Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible. They're an amazing math curriculum, and we encourage you to check them out at teachingtextbooks.com. Today's show is also being underwritten by Samaritan Ministries and Redem HealthShare.

Southside Tribe!! What started in a TSA line became a global movement.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! This week we are talking about something that makes a lot of homeschool parents nervous… high school. High school often seems different. It feels heavier. The subjects get harder, the stakes feel higher, and suddenly all those quiet doubts start getting louder. Am I qualified? What about chemistry? What about advanced math? What about sports and social opportunities? Are we keeping them from something important? A lot of families say, “We'll homeschool… but probably not for high school.” And tonight we want to talk about that. Where does that fear come from? Is it actually justified? And what are we really giving up if we decide to send them in just because it feels intimidating?  Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible. They're an amazing math curriculum, and we encourage you to check them out at teachingtextbooks.com. Today's show is also being underwritten by Samaritan Ministries and Redeem HealthShare.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, Ameen and KB are joined by longtime friend and ministry leader Frank Gil for a deep and timely conversation about Gen Z, student ministry, and the Church's responsibility in a spiritually hungry moment. From the privilege and purpose of youth ministry to Gen Z's longing for sacred practices, authenticity, and transcendence, this episode challenges the Church to move beyond gimmicks and comfort toward real discipleship. It's an honest call to steward this moment well—before a generation searching for the real Jesus finds everything else but Him. Come thru!

They are longtime homeschooling veterans with a deep passion for encouraging and supporting moms throughout their homeschooling journey.

It's an encouraging and meaningful conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, we dive deep into why character—not clout—is the truest predictor of your future. From professional fighters' training habits to influencer culture and biblical humility, this conversation exposes how modern culture rebrands many vices as virtue and centers ego over growth. This episode challenges listeners to rethink what strength, success, and manhood really look like. Through powerful personal stories, Scripture, and practical examples, we paint a biblical, countercultural vision of selflessness and sacrifice as true power. If you've ever felt pressured to become bigger, louder, richer, or more dominant to “win,” this conversation invites you into a deeper and more freeing path: dying to self and becoming the kind of person whose character can carry real weight.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! Today's topic is something that resonates with just about every homeschooling family: the pressure to finish the curriculum while still saying yes to all the amazing opportunities around us. We recently asked our followers over on Facebook what feels hardest right now, and another one of the most common responses was feeling torn between making steady progress through textbooks, lesson plans, and checklists — and making time for sports, church events, friendships, and real-life learning. It can leave parents feeling behind, stressed, and wondering if they're measuring success by completed pages instead of true learning. We had an encouraging converstation and we hope you enjoy!

Southside Tribe! This week we discuss how rejection and hardship are some of life's great teachers—but only if we learn from them instead of avoiding them. In this episode, we explore how rejection shapes us for better or worse, how wounded ego can turn into vengeance, and why so much of modern masculinity is built on perception and intimidation rather than wholeness or healing. From dating culture and influencer wealth to Scripture's warning about the uncertainty of riches, this conversation challenges where we place our hope. Ultimately, it's a call to trade image for integrity, give up shortcuts for real formation, and false security for the lasting riches found in humility, discipleship, and trusting Christ.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! Today's topic is something that resonates with just about every homeschooling family: busyness and balance. We recently asked our followers over on Facebook what feels the hardest to manage right now, and another common answer was trying to juggle school, work, church, activities, social events, and still find meaningful family time in the middle of it all. It can leave parents feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, and wondering if they're focusing on the right things So this week, our goal is to bring some encouragement as we talk about busyness versus importance, when it's okay to say yes — and when it's okay to say no — and how to guard your family time in a world that never seems to slow down.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, we are joined again by our good friend Ray Chang, as well as the biblical powerhouse Amy Lynnettee. This conversation turns toward one of the most urgent issues facing the Church today: why so many young people are disaffiliating from Christianity—and what it will take to make faith in Jesus matter again. Through the lens of the TENx10 initiative, we explore discipleship and mentorship, the power of relational formation, and why content alone can't produce transformation. We dive into real stories of generational tension, women in ministry, Scripture-centered digital outreach, and the courage required to empower younger believers without fear of "being replaced". With our signature honesty, humor, and conviction, this conversation challenges leaders and communities alike to examine whether we're guarding platforms—or passing the baton for the sake of Christ's Kingdom.

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! Today's topic is something that resonates with just about every homeschooling family: arguing and bickering. We recently asked our followers over on Facebook what the hardest part of homeschooling is right now, and the overwhelming answer was children arguing, bickering, and fighting. It makes getting school done difficult and often leaves moms feeling drained and without much joy by the end of the day. So this week, our goal is to bring some encouragement and perspective around this topic. B efore we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible.

Southside Tribe!!

Trip shares the inspiration behind his new emphasis, highlighting the power of worship music in shaping our faith and strengthening community.

Southside Tribe!! In this episode, Ameen and KB sit down with the one and only Jon Keith for a raw conversation about identity, conviction, and what it really means to show up as a Christian artist in mainstream hip-hop spaces. From the pressures of labels and PR, to the expectations of the church, John breaks down the tension between cultural credibility and spiritual integrity — and how he resolved to never alter himself just to fit in the room. The stories he and KB share about platforms, theology, influence, and the responsibility that comes with a mic make this one of the most honest discussions we've had on the pod. If you care about Christian hip hop, authenticity, or what happens when art collides with real faith, this episode really hits different.
