Not a Vending Maching: Homeschooling and the Gospel - Amy Sloan
Homeschooling isn't a vending machine and won't save our kids. We aren't the Holy Spirit and we must rest in the work of Christ on our behalf for our salvation and identity.
Amy Sloan joins Yvette Hampton to talk about homeschooling and the Gospel.
Topics Covered:
Why understanding the WHY of homeschooling is so important
Why we must know what we are running to and how to get there
Why homeschooling doesn’t guarantee the salvation of our kids
Why all kids respond differently even when we use the same methods, and since every kid is different, how we can cater our homeschool, parenting, and discipleship to each individual child
Nurturing relationships in the midst of hard seasons or with difficult children
The role of the Holy Spirit in salvation and in Christian living
What it means to rest in the work of Christ on our behalf and for our identity
What to do as moms when we feel tired and worn out
How the good news of the Gospel bring peace and hope to our homeschooling and families
Practical ways to point our kids to Jesus on a regular basis
Final encouragement o the parent who's doing it all "right," yet their child just isn't responding
