August 19, 2025

Your homeschool year’s success is largely determined by how you start. In this episode of the Teach Them Diligently Podcast, David and Leslie Nunnery walk you through the 3 most important priorities for the first 30 days of your homeschool—whether you’re just starting or already a few weeks in.

Plus, they share practical, real-life examples from their own homeschool journey—and why “homeschooling” is not a plan in itself.

Show Notes:

You’ll discover:

  • How to set a sustainable rhythm for family devotions and Bible time.
  • Why defining expectations now saves you frustration later.
  • The power of a “rolling start” to build habits without overwhelm.
  • 3 major pitfalls to avoid at the start of the year (and how to dodge them).
  • Why margin is your best friend in building relationships and discipling your kids.
