A question I get often is, "How do you know what to read?" In a world where there are millions of books, how does one sift through it all? There are so many books and so little time!  In Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson, they give a list of qualities to look for in a good book. I share this list and talk you though it. I hope this will help us all find the best literature choices.    Resources Referenced: Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson     Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

"Is there an ideal 'house' for homeschooling? Yes! It's yours- the one you have right now. The key to a great homeschooling house is to use the house you have to its fullest." -Julie Bogart, The Brave Learner   For the homeschool mom, there can be pressure to cultivate a "perfect homeschool environment." What does that look like? Is it recreating what we see on social media? What happens when we don't have the resources, rooms, funds, etc to make it happen? Do we have to settle for a "less than" education for our children? In this episode, we discuss the most important aspects of a homeschool environment. A loving and contented mother who is using the resources she has to the fullest will surpass any Insta-worthy classroom you might see.  You will be challenged to find satisfaction in what you have while being creative to make the space you desire with the resources you have.   Resources: The Brave Learner by Julie Bogart Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay & Sally Clarkson    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

For the next three episodes of the podcast, we'll be chatting about homeschooling! This is a huge part of our lives, and it is something and Simeon and I are very passionate about. The goal of education is so much more than academic success. Our goal for the education of our children is to introduce them to God, allowing them to know God better. As they learn of Him, we learn about the world He created (science, history, literature) and the order He instilled in the world (math, languages, civics). Home is the ideal place to invest in this calling of discipleship and learning. Home is where we can lay the foundation of what real like looks like and how to accomplish real life skills. You do not have to homeschool to emphasize those things, but homeschooling does give margin for more time and opportunities to train. Simeon and I share our hearts, and why we believe that home education is the best choice for our family. If you are on the fence about school choices, or maybe you've never thought and prayed through the decision, we hope that this episode will give you some great conversation and prayer points!   Outline of biblical reasons why we have chosen home education (taken from the list in the the Clarkson's book) -Homeschooling allows the greatest opportunity for emphasizing the Word of God in a child's life  II Tim 3:16-17; Heb 4:12-13; I Thess 2:13   -Homeschooling allows the greatest opportunity for strategic discipleship influence in a child's life Luke 6:10; Matthew 28:18-20; Col 2:6-7; II Tim 2:2   -Homeschooling provides the best setting for dynamic learning through exposure to real-life experiences James 1:2-4; Proverbs   -Homeschooling provides the best setting for discovering and developing spiritual gifts and personal skills and talents I Pet 4:10-11; Col 3:17; II Tim 1:6-7   -Homeschooling is the best way to live out the biblical picture of walking with your children on God's path of life until they walk it on their own Proverbs 4:1-19; John 14:6; Eph 5:1-2   Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 6:7-9 Mark 3:13-15 I Corinthians 11:1 II Timothy 1:5   Resources: Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay & Sally Clarkson https://amzn.to/3DMy5Nb  General Order Four (discipleship podcast) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/general-order-4-podcast/id1529928237  NHC Podcast: Parenting & Discipleship https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-38-parenting-and-discipleship/id1547126864?i=1000534090284    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

In this episode I decided to bring on an expert. She's a second generation homeschooler and is currently educating 7 children at home. She's constantly researching curriculum as well as various schooling methods and she's passionate about bringing her children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. She also happens to be my wife. In the interview I'm able to ask her about her homeschool experience growing up, what she might say to mothers who are struggling with homeschooling or who don't think themselves equal to the task of educating their children, and much more.

Simeon joins me in this episode to talk specifically to the husbands and dads represented by the ladies who listen to this podcast. So grab your husband and a cup of tea and join us as we chat about the role God has for dad in the home and in the education of your children.   In the previous episode, Simeon addressed the importance that the father plays in the home as the spiritual leader. Many of those responsibilities lead families to make the choice that homeschooling is the educational model that aligns best with their family values. We ask the question, "What role does dad play in home education?" Simeon shares great practical advice on how the husband & father can be a co-laborer with mom in this area. Here's a highlight of some of the points covered in this episode: -How dad can communicate, encourage, and pray for mom as the teacher -The importance of the family table creating a lifestyle of learning -The impact of dads reading aloud to their children -Ways dad can get engaged in the learning and interests of the children     Resources: NHC Podcast: Family Worship https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/family-worship/id1547126864?i=1000594670765 NHC Podcast: How to Choose a Homeschool Curriculum https://ryw6ld.podbean.com/e/ep-30-how-to-choose-a-homeschool-curriculum/ Family Worship by Donald Whitney: https://amzn.to/3UyoCAX Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay Clarkson: https://amzn.to/3MBBqVe Gather Round Homeschool: https://gatherroundhomeschool.com/ The Read-Aloud Family by Sarah Mackenzie: https://amzn.to/3KYtmwl   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

Simeon joins me in this episode to talk specifically to the husbands and dads represented by the ladies who listen to this podcast. So grab your husband and a cup of tea and join us as we chat about the role God has for dad in the home and in the education of your children. This is the first of a 2 part episode where Simeon opens the Scriptures and digs deep into the role of the husband and father. This episode, while touching on academic education, deals more with a father's role in his home as the spiritual leader. A foundation will be laid for what the broader goal of education and learning is. We are seeking to guide our children in truth, raise them to grow in their spiritual maturity, and to see them fulfill the purpose God has created them for. Having this goal in mind keeps you on a path of spiritual discipleship within your home and family culture.    Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 6:1-12, 20 Ephesians 5:25-28 Colossians 1:16-17 II Timothy 2:15 Hebrews 11:23   Resources: Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay Clarkson: https://amzn.to/3MBBqVe   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

THE BEAUTIFUL FACES OF CM MAMAS series continues with Annette Dionisio - "Will CM methods work for my child with special challenges?" This might be a question that has been asked when considering a CM education for a precious child with special challenges. Join Mariana as she speaks with Annette, our dear IRL friend and a CM homeschooling mama who is devoted to providing a Charlotte Mason home and homeschool for her 3 young children, one of whom has special challenges arising from ADHD, and various processing and developmental delays. We are deeply thankful to Annette for sharing her journey with us - both the heartbreaking difficulties, as well as the beautiful triumphs, as she intentionally implements the Charlotte Mason philosophy and methods. “Mothers owe a 'thinking love' to their Children.––"The mother is qualified," says Pestalozzi, "and qualified by the Creator Himself, to become the principal agent in the development of her child; ... and what is demanded of her is––a thinking love ... God has given to the child all the faculties of our nature, but the grand point remains undecided––how shall this heart, this head, these hands be employed? to whose service shall they be dedicated? A question the answer to which involves a futurity of happiness or misery to a life so dear to thee. Maternal love is the first agent in education." "We are waking up to our duties and in proportion as mothers become more highly educated and efficient, they will doubtless feel the more strongly that the education of their children during the first six years of life is an undertaking hardly to be entrusted to any hands but their own. And they will take it up as their profession––that is, with the diligence, regularity, and punctuality which men bestow on their professional labours. That the mother may know what she is about, may come thoroughly furnished to her work, she should have something more than a hearsay acquaintance with the theory of education, and with those conditions of the child's nature upon which such theory rests.” - Charlotte Mason, Vol. 1, p. 2 Resources mentioned and others Annette has found helpful over the years: A Delectable Education ( ADelectableEducation.com.

With about 18 years to work with, what do I want my children to learn? The stewardship mandate in Genesis 1 calls us to rule and subdue our domains as well as to be fruitful and multiply. How does this apply to my child's education? If you homeschool, you can tailor your child's education based on an educational method you trust and even choose the subjects you want to emphasize. If you've chosen public or private school, you can still be involved in their learning and supplement it with books, subjects, and experiences that you think will enrich and sharpen their minds. In this last episode in the Creating a Family Vision series, Mel and I look back on her 20+ years of homeschooling and talk about being imperfectly purposeful in our motherhood in the area of education and how the gospel sustains us in this tremendous endeavor.Melanie Krumrey is mom to three adult children whom she homeschooled K-12 grade. She is also a pastor's wife in Amherst, Massachusetts and serves her church as the Director of Women's Ministry. She loves to read, run, teach, write and practice hospitality.

In this episode, Shannon interviews her friend, Jeannie Cunnion. Jeannie's passion is encouraging moms to live in the freedom for which Christ has set us free, which is something her own heart needs to be daily reminded of. She is the author of Parenting the Wholehearted Child, Mom Set Free, and the Mom Set Free Bible Study.  She is also a frequent speaker at women’s conferences and parenting events around the country.

Are you worn out from the constant pressure of motherhood? Do you feel crushed by the weight of having to be ‘good enough' in all areas of life - work, home, family, and faith? If you can relate, this episode is here to help you leave behind the world's impossible standards for motherhood, while embracing God's sovereignty for your life.   In this episode, Mary talks with speaker and author of “Parenting the Wholehearted Child” and “Mom Set Free”, Jeannie Cunnion. Known for her passion of encouraging women to live in the freedom for which Christ has set us free, Jeannie speaks candidly of how God opened her eyes and set her free from the pressure to be perfect for her kids, free from performing for the love and acceptance of God, and free from pretending to have it all together.   After listening, you'll discover how the Gospel empowers you to parent in the freedom of God's sovereignty, you'll learn how to trust God with what He's entrusted to you, and you'll be encouraged that your job as a parent is not to be the perfection of Christ, but rather to point your children to Christ. If you're ready to find relief from the pressure to get it all right, give yourself some grace, and enjoy your parenting journey a little more - tune into this episode.      Check out Jeannie here! https://www.instagram.com/jeanniecunnion/?hl=en And her book here!  https://www.amazon.com/Mom-Set-Free-Relief-Pressure/dp/1501156446

I'm with my friend, Jeannie Cunnion today talking about parenting, living a grace-filled life, and what it means to live set free   In this episode we discuss: 1. Parenting from a place of surrender 2.  God's grace 3. The most powerful tool in a parent's toolbox.   Favorite quotes: 1. The beauty of praying for them [our kids] is that you get to watch God act and move in ways that you couldn't orchestrate on your best days. 2. It's not like the Lord set me free in that and now I'm just free and I never wrestle with my freedom or the enemy never tries to put the chains back on me. It is a daily surrender, it is a daily reminder, it is a daily going back to the truth to be reminded of the freedom that is already mine, but I am so quick not to walk in. 3. The depths of God's grace. It really this bottomless well…You never ever get to the bottom of the well of God's grace. You're never too far gone. You've never blown it too much. 4. Surrender is not giving up, but it's giving over. 5. The beauty of praying for them [our kids] is that you get to watch God act and move in ways that you couldn't orchestrate on your best days.   Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.   In this episode, I answer these questions- 1. How do you invite people into your stressors without dumping on them? (39:14) 2.  Why are women mentioned so little in the bible? (41:53) 3. I know I want to go to the next level in my business but I seem to continually take my foot off the gas. How can I move past this and build my business to reach where I want it to be? (45:13) Links to great things we discussed- 1.  Jeannie Cunnion 2.  Jeannie's books- Parenting the Wholehearted Child and Mom Set Free 3.  NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children 4.  “No Matter What”Ryan Stevenson feat. Bart Millard 5.  “Who You Say I Am”Hillsong 6. Enneagram and The Road Back to You 7.  “Holy, Holy, Holy” Audrey Assad 8.  The Intouchables   Hope you loved this episode!

Jeannie Cunnion joins me for Episode 99. I have been so excited to share this conversation with you because it was so refreshing and encouraging for me personally. If you haven’t heard of Jeannie before, then you should know that she is a mom of four boys who range from teenager to toddler. She is the author of Parenting the Wholehearted Child and her latest book, Mom Set Free. We sit down and have an honest conversation about freedom and motherhood.  We talk about the pressures we face in parenting, the things that we need to be set free from and what God has set us free for. There were some moments in this conversation that really have redefined my role as parent and reignited an understanding of the gospel. Takeaways From Our Conversation: God is using our kids to sharpen us to become more like Him. I think that I knew that in theory but I hadn’t thought about how God chose these kids specifically for a reason to sharpen something in me. And if I could start my day viewing them as a gift that God has placed in my life to sharpen me—to make me more like Him—then maybe that would change my heart. And I think that applies to anyone listening whether you are a mother or not. Think about the most challenging person in your life currently. Maybe that person is God’s gift to you to sharpen you to become more like Him. So when we are in the heat of the moment, frustrated or discouraged, may we remember to ask: what is God’s invitation to me in this situation? Parenting is more about what God is doing in me than me creating these great kids. Moms get stuck in so many places and patterns because of the pressure we are under. The gospel has the power to free us from any place where we feel stuck. We feel pressure to be perfect, to be in control, or to transform our kid’s heart. The enemy is using that pressure to steal our joy in parenting. Jesus is the one who calls our kids to faith. We can get frustrated when we do all the “right” things yet not see the results. It is Jesus who produces righteous character in our kid’s life. What is hard for me isn't hard for God. God works all things together for good--that good doesn't mean better or an upgrade. The good is that we are conformed more into the image of Jesus. What did you enjoy about this episode? What was your takeaway. Let's continue the conversation  on Instagram or Twitter or you can send me an email here.  Thank you for following along life with me. I love being apart of your day. And as always, I hope this show helps you survive a little easier.

My Least Gracious Hour Truth be told, I am the least gracious to my children in that 4-5 o'clock hour when I'm putting dinner together, helping kids do homework and preparing for the next day.

It has truly been such a blessing to not have to wonder what I'm making for dinner. Oh, I'm still grumpy and a little frazzled from the process of cooking (not my strength) but having a meal plan each week eliminates the frustration of figuring out what to have or the guilt of ordering another pizza.
