• Homeschooling with Confidence: Israel Wayne on Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Home Education

    “The goal of the parent should not be to try to force all these billions of bits of information into their child’s brain. It should be teaching your child how to learn rather than…cramming your child’s head full of information bits.” Israel Wayne Homeschooling offers a unique opportunity for parents to tailor their child’s education to their individual needs and strengths.

  • Discipline / Discipleship / Heart Training

    I recently received an email from a parent asking if we had any podcast episodes on discipline. The answer is a complicated one, because so much of our content is focused on the nuts and bolts of training the hearts of our children – on discipling them to have a Biblical worldview and Christ-like character. But I don’t think we have ever focused on specific methods of discipline. Quite honestly, I don’t think we ever will.

  • You Can Change Lives!

    “My friends, Garritt & Yvette Hampton, are creating what I believe will be one of the most important projects to expand the message of homeschooling that we have seen in the past decade.”  – Israel Wayne Dear Reader, There is a serious war raging all around us for the hearts and minds of our children. As early as preschool, a secular ungodly foundation is being set for them in schools all across our nation. Children are being indoctrinated with a worldview that undermines the value of life and teaches them that they have no purpose. They are also being taught that their parents are not the authority in their lives.…

  • Answering the Homeschool Critics with Israel Wayne

    “my job is that general contractor role where I have to know what’s going on in the family. I have to know my children by heart.
