WELCOME TO EPISODE 32 OF REDEEMING THE CHAOS WITH LAURIE CHRISTINE.

SHOULD I HOMESCHOOL MY KIDS?  IS HOMESCHOOLING RIGHT FOR MY FAMILY?

Have you ever thought about homeschooling your kids?  Maybe you’re on the fence and just not sure if homeschooling is the right fit for your family. You may be wondering: “Am I cut out for this? What if I fail? What if I mess up my kids?”  

Just a disclaimer, I do not homeschool my kids, but I have the utmost respect for those who do. And I know with so many things going on in our culture and society today, a lot of you listening may be considering homeschooling in the future.  So how do you know if homeschooling is right for your family?

In our episode today, I am chatting with Katie J. Trent, an author, speaker, and leader in the homeschooling community. She will help us sort out the answers to these questions. 

Katie J. Trent is the author of Dishing up Devotions: 36 Faith-Building Activities for Homeschooling Families, and a leader in the Christian homeschool community, outside of Phoenix, AZ. She draws on a wealth of knowledge and experience from over a decade of counseling, ministry, and church planting, in order to equip women to grow their faith, strengthen their families, and simplify their homeschool journeys.  

Katie was also one of the guest bloggers who participated in my Family Fruit Challenge over the summer, so I am so excited to be able to have her on the show today.

What Katie has to say about Dishing Up Devotions:

Homeschooling is a challenging journey that’s often misunderstood. The thirty-six weeks that parents have to educate their homeschooled children don’t just come together magically. There are lessons to plan and oversee, records to keep, routines to follow, and kids to motivate. It can feel overwhelming as the teaching parent—usually Mom—tries to tackle both the educational and spiritual aspects of the children’s lives while also keeping up with household tasks such as cooking and laundry.

Dishing Up Devotions: 36 Activities for Homeschooling Families infuses faith and fun to strengthen family relationships while nourishing the teaching parent’s soul.It features thirty-six weekly devotions, faith-building activities for the whole family,
