Such a foundational process for self teaching.

Love, love, love this podcast!! I am sharing....😊

This was so eye opening, THANK YOU for such an informative podcast. I started homeschooling to protect my kids from the political inappropriateness that is happening in the public schools where I am. I thought school choice was a great idea, until I watched this video. I really learned a lot and have a better understanding of how school choice is really giving the government to take all the choice away. I greatly appreciate you making this video.

So true, gonna share this with every teacher, I know, and parents

❤❤❤

Sometimes men are more suited to stay home with the kids. The traditional role of women staying home and men going to work doesn’t always work. The parent better suited should take on that role. Fatherhood is terribly under valued.

Poor aby didn’t speak once

I agree. I believe many churches have hurt this cause by making it a habit of berating men in general in front of the congregation, and husbands in specific in front of their wives and kids. Men consider it an honor to protect, serve, and fight for their loved ones. They are less likely to do so for a church that demeans them. A church that builds up their families, including the husbands and fathers, can inspire a loyalty that would shame a dog.

Amen!

I have explained it to people this way… imagine someone burglarizes a store, then comes back to the store owner and says, “Here, you can have what I stole back, but these are my conditions.” Look how messed up that is. We can’t necessarily help it if they take our money, but our children belong to the Lord.

You need to have an interview with Autumn Kern of The Commonplace!

What can you do about parents who can't or won't school at all? That is a hugh quandry.

Free to believe any book America

Excellent episode gentlemen.

lose weight dude

“Pew potato” - ha! What a refreshing, encouraging conversation. Thank you!

wow, I got a lot out of this; even more than the 9 other videos I watched explaining apologetics before this. And it came out yesterday! Thats because he gave an approach and practical application. Im not even a home schooler, but this was nice. Id like to find more information about the logic, to help me approach the way arguments generally are formulated and be prepared with a defense of the gospel in return. Kudos. And Ill check out the full interview

Where can i look at your homeschool curriculum in spanish?

"We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us..." ❤

Yes! Amen, and amen! ❤️

I just spent an hour and a half on the phone with my dad. He's very hard hearted against the Lord. I brought up the past when talking about sin and I know I angered and stressed him, but after years of just showing him my good works, I felt compelled to press in and rattle him a little. It was helpful to hear both perspectives here. I love Ray's methods and I also appreciate the perspective of the woman talking about how it would be worse to lose her brother for eternity than worry about hurting their relationship here. Lord help us to witness well!!!

Hello, are you aware that there’s no link on the DOWNLOAD YOUR HOMESCHOOL SURVIVAL KIT page to actually download the ebook!

Just curious, is there any teaching in the public school system about peronality testing (4 colors of personalities)? Thanks in advance. God Bless

Thanks for the preview. Looking forward to this episode!

Thank you!

🌄 Great ideas, great video. 🌱🌴🦎🐚🐦🐝🐞🦋🐛🪁 We began one lesson when studying and tracing the different types of barks on different trees and turned it into math by finding groups 2's, 3's, etc and counting by 2"s, 3's, etc... using the trees themselves, the branches or the leaves of trees. One thing can lead to many other things to learn! 😎

(Comment about your comment about Ramsay: Ramsay is a total scam who gives the most damaging advice to people. Read Robert Kiyosaki instead: Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The Cashflow Quadrant. And all of his books. You will learn how all of the 'conventional' advice like stocks, bonds, 401ks, etc etc etc just keeps people poor and financially destroys them. Kiyosaki is the real deal, the only person qualified to speak in financial independence or business or wealth.)

Well said. People are waking up to the fact that colleges are communist indoctrination camps which put you deep into a lifetime of debt and which rob you of some of the most important years of your life in which you could be creating successes in starting a new family and growing a successful business. Another great resource on the fact that college ruins people's minds is Robert Kiyosaki. Schools, including colleges, are designed to make people stupid and not able to think, to indoctrinate them, and to take away all the years of their life that would have been fruitful. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book, and his other books as well. College is one of the greatest scams of the century. 99.999% of the things ;learned' in school are totally useless. What is important for a good life, in addition to character, virtue, etc - what practical items are important? (1) Be an entrepreneur and be free. Buy a small, stable business that provides value to society. Run it and grow it well and steadily. (2) Be an example of a good marriage in which you show respect and honor to each other. (3) Don't send your children away to be ruined by schools or colleges, to go on to be like everyone else. In society most people have a lifetime of misery in their marriages and their work, and they lose the souls of their children to schools.

I pray that I'm able to feed this desire in my children.

24:29 so true

The animal information is so good

I need to watch this several times. So informative

I'm going to try to come back to this but does 10 ham have any horses on teaching these things to our kids

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful treatment of School Choice. Here’s my reflection after listening and taking notes. As you said, UNESCO is clearly opposed to homeschooling and wants tight control. I also know that the US is part of UNESCO. What I don’t know is how much influence they have on the individual states, especially on conservative states. Any info on that? I am a self-funded homeschooler but previously lived in AZ, the home of universal ESA. In AZ, the distinction between home-educators (i.e. ESA) and homeschoolers is a firm demarcation-so firm that at times it’s almost antagonistic. It does not appear that this division is going away any time soon, though I am curious how universal ESA will affect it. Also, from what I observed, those who oppose the ESA also oppose homeschooling, so wins for one have thus far seemed to help the other. So far, in terms of restrictions, they are being treated as completely different things. BUT (and this is a big “but”), I was not behind the scenes observing every bill presented to the legislature. Abby said that every legislative season, she sees more and more challenges against homeschooling. I have no idea if this is true in my home state of AZ, but if it is, then I think I can better understand Abby’s point that we’re playing with fire to encourage the ESA. When I left AZ, the instructional regulations for ESA students were less than for homeschoolers. Homeschoolers were required to teach 5 academic subjects. ESA students were required to submit receipts for all moneys spent, but their only requirement was that they purchase one thing from one of the required subjects and state that they intended to use that item for their student. And religious material, like Bible commentaries, Bibles, AWANA curriculum, etc., were all permitted. In other words, the money was tightly monitored, but the parental instruction was not. I speak in past tense as I don’t live there, now, and don't know current rules. Is Abby’s analogy of the Trojan Horse at play here? Definitely a good question to ask. 

 The ESA parents are fierce in their fight to keep restrictions low, and they have lawyers fighting for them. However, the Save Our Schools opposition is also strong and has much more money behind them. The third arm-self-funded homeschoolers-also has lawyers and advocates fighting for them. Basically, it seems like a 3-way battle, though ESA and homeschoolers do ban together at times. What will the future hold? Honestly, I don’t know. It may end up with who has the greatest amount of money to support their side of the battle. The ESA has nearly died numerous times. At this point, I don't think the ESA for special needs is going anywhere, but I doubt universal ESA will last. Another observation with AZ’s ESA is that people will use test scores to talk about how the ESA isn’t helping, but it is often ignored that the ESA was originally for children with special needs who typically score low and also that ESA students are not required to do testing. In contrast, some of the testimonies of how the ESA helped some of these children are inspiring: like freeing moms who felt they couldn’t afford the $20k a year needed for private therapies for their severely disabled child and so felt forced to keep their child in the broken system. This is something I wonder about. My understanding is that many of those serviced through that original ESA were students who were falling through the cracks in public school and yet thrived when parents were able to choose their tutors and therapies. In other words, it appears that it did help to mitigate one broken portion of the system. I know there were some who were pro-ESA for special needs but against universal ESA. I wonder, if public schools are going to exist, is ESA for special needs children who otherwise would be in public schools a positive thing? What do those who self-fund homeschool do if they have a child with intense special needs that would normally receive tens of thousands of dollars of therapy? I have no clue, but that’s one thing I wonder about in terms of a possible good use of ESA. I’m open to input.

 The point she made about funding all options being socialist is a great point. Originally, for AZ it was merely a transfer of funds from public school to ESA as recipients were required to be in the public school system, first. That didn’t increase the financial burden on the people. In fact, the amount allocated per student in ESA was slightly less that the amount per student in public school, so it would technically save the state just a little money. But of course, people are now doing ESA who otherwise would be in private schools or homeschools, and that costs extra for the state. People do become dependent on the funds, and that is yet another great point. AZ’s ESA program put in a disclaimer that, even after expenses were approved, they could be revisited at any time (meaning a parent might have to repay any and all previous expenses made through the ESA). And with the constant changes in what they were approving, this disclaimer brought much stress to many parents. It helped that money carried over from year to year (i.e. you don’t have to spend a certain amount), so some parents decided to only spend minimally and what they’d be willing to pay back. Plus, with constant attacks against the ESA program, everyone was aware that it could disappear at any moment. But even with those caveats, the dependency was obvious and growing. Good point that money speaks. It is easy to follow the money without thought of longterm consequences. “My chains are gone” reference: has nothing to do with government control; that’s the chains of sin. Same comment for a dog returning to its vomit. Not a big deal and I knew what you meant, but taking Scripture and song lyrics out of context was distracting to me. Another distraction in my opinion was your comparison to Covid masks. I feel I should explain a little just so you don't think I'm trying to be antagonistic or nit picky. Back in 2020, my work had me conversing quite a bit with global Christians. I started to notice a pattern: Christians from warm-climate cultures (i.e. high value on relationships) led the way in wearing masks in the name of Christian love. Christians from cold-climate cultures (i.e. high value on the individual) led the way in opposing government control. The relationally-based cultures lived in countries where everyone knows not to trust the government, so they weren’t blindly following their leaders. So why the vast difference? One more observation, first, though.

 Additional observation I made was based on conversations with my conservative Christian doctor friend who specialized in treating Covid patients. Based on his training, he said that the problem was the long incubation period, which meant that by the time you knew you were sick, you would have already been spreading the illness for a week or two. And then to make matters worse, without self-protecting masks, it was kind of like riding in a car but having to depend on others to put on your seatbelt. My doctor friend felt gaslighted as he felt like he went from a war zone in the hospital to all his Christian friends outside the hospital telling him that Covid was just an excuse for government control. Once he and others figured out better treatments, then the need for gobs of caution lessened, but those early days were so rough for him. As I pondered the observations in the above two paragraphs, it occurred to me that views on mask wearing were predominately driven by culture. In a cold-climate culture where the individual reins supreme, we wouldn’t wear masks for the sake of others unless forced, hence the need for government control. But in warm-climate cultures, the needs of others always take precedence over the rights of the individual, hence it not mattering what their government said. Was there also government overreach, especially in terms of lock downs and vaccinations, and in certain states in particular? I believe there was. And that just muddles everything. We are so black and white, so either it’s all government overreach, or it’s all acceptable and reasonable. I hope that helps you to understand that, from my perspective, then, bringing Covid into this school choice discussion was unnecessarily distracting. Those two distractions notwithstanding, thank you for sharing! You gave a much better explanation than any I have read or heard thus far.

Ray Comfort's movie "Audacity" was a disaster. It left the gays winning the argument by not answering their tough question. This is because Christianity has no authority since they bow to Rome.

Ray Comfort is not saved. He hates the Torah. He bows to Rome. He does not obey the teachings of Yehoshua Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

I will homeschool through highschool. My baby are still young. It is so intense. I've had times I wanted to put them in school. But I can't hand my kids to baal. I know I am called so homeschool all of my children.

It’s gonna be awesome! Also, I got that Unsocialist shirt for my hubby for Father’s Day 🤭 Can’t wait to give it to him!

You say that as the oblivious living. What about all the dead? Dead before their time? The babies, children, Blacks? What about that. What about the omitted books? Grace? One child dies so a degenerate leader lives? You along with the rest of us have no idea about what God really is. Talk highly of the high out of fear for being laid low. I don't like how you presented this.

Ahhh let me help you fundraising for it! This will be so fun 🤩 Totally praying for you guys! Love you guys!

That’s so exciting!!

Ray mentioning kids is pretty scary.

I have learned so much from Will & Meeke Addison!! Loved their podcasts on AFR, which are still there and love their new podcast on "Culture Proof." Great clip from the full podcast video which is worth going to to listen and take notes 📝!!

Christianity is not about love or growth, it is about control.
