Homeschooling Gives Your Child the Best Education with Emelie Pepito
Restoration Home with Jennifer PepitoShow Notes
Welcome to episode 192 with Jennifer and Emelie. Over her 28 years of homeschooling, one of the main reasons Jennifer has seen families quit is the fear that their child will not get the education they need. While homeschooling is not for everyone, we're here today to unpack the lie that your child is guaranteed to get a better education in a more formal system. Children want to learn. They are naturally curious, capable of information retention, and interested in the world around them. So often the formal education that we think is "safe" offers little in the way of real life skills, kills curiosity, and creates performers, not learners. Instead, we talk about raising whole children, whose lives are shaped by their values, not their education level because education can always be acquired while values must be instilled from a young age. Practically, everything your child needs to know academically can be acuired in a 100 hours of education. Besides, when you step back from fear and look at the general education level of the American population do you really think that your child is going to receive a better education in a system that is producing a population where 1 in every 5 adults is illiterate. This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press! Our full length Peaceful Press Elementary Bundles give your children the opportunity to learn practical skills, read beautiful literature, and engage in a living history and applicable science.

Welcome to episode 208 with Carl and Laura Lentz, the former pastors of Hillsong New York. Their story made headlines in 2020, but it was the beginning and not the end. The Lentzes' story is an incredible redemption arc of surrender, choosing wholehearted redemption, forgiveness, and returning Jesus to the center, rather than hiding in shame, reaction, or bitterness. In everything we do, Christ is the foundation: for our children, our communities, our lives, and the Kingdom of God. In an era of divorce and choosing personal happiness over the marriage covenant, this episode is an important reminder of healing and discovering the reward of a love that lasts.
