Are You Protecting Your Kids Too Much? Prepare Them for the Real World - Mary DeMuth

How do you trust God when your circumstances are frightening, painful, and completely out of your control?Kim Sorgius Jones shares why the most important reason to study the Bible is simple: so that we can know God.Kim opens up about some of the hardest seasons of her life, including becoming a single mother after her husband left and later facing the terrifying reality of her young son's brain tumor. Through those experiences, she learned a powerful truth: we cannot truly trust someone we don't know.The same is true of our relationship with God.When we know who God is—His character, His goodness, His power, His faithfulness—we have something solid to hold onto when our circumstances change.And that's one of the greatest reasons to teach our children to study God's Word.We can't always trust our circumstances. We can't control what happens tomorrow. But we can know the God who holds tomorrow.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsors:https://BJUPressHomeschool.com - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BJU Press Homeschool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is dedicated to providing homeschool families with academically strong curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview.

As parents, we naturally want to protect our children from pain, failure, disappointment, and danger. But where does wise protection end—and overprotection begin?Mary DeMuth explains why our job as parents isn't to keep our children in a bubble until they're suddenly released into the world. Instead, we should gradually give them responsibility, allow them to experience age-appropriate consequences, and equip them with the skills they need to navigate life.Mary shares a powerful example of parents who continue doing basic tasks for older children and explains why even something as simple as doing their own laundry can be part of preparing kids for adulthood.The goal isn't to raise children who have never experienced hardship. It's to raise children who are prepared to meet the real world with wisdom, courage, and faith.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsor:⁠⁠⁠https://libertyhealthshare.org - Liberty HealthShare⁠⁠⁠ is one of the nation’s oldest and largest healthcare sharing ministries, The non-profit is a caring community of health-conscious individuals and families who choose to support one another and agree to the Christian values of stewardship to make healthcare affordable for all.

Our children are growing up surrounded by an unprecedented amount of deception. Are we preparing them to recognize it—and defend their faith when they encounter it?Chuck Black explains why Christian parents need to take apologetics seriously and equip their children to understand why they believe what they believe. He discusses the challenges young people face in science, education, and culture and why a biblical worldview must go deeper than simply teaching our children that “Jesus loves you.”Homeschooling gives parents an incredible opportunity to teach every subject through a biblical worldview—but we also need to prepare our children to defend their faith when the world challenges it.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsors:https://BJUPressHomeschool.com - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BJU Press Homeschool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is dedicated to providing homeschool families with academically strong curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview.

Did you put your food away? Is your room clean? Did you finish your chores? As homeschool parents, there are countless battles we can find ourselves fighting every day—but are we sometimes missing the battle that matters most?In this excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Aby Rinella and Chuck Black discuss the spiritual battle for our children’s hearts, the importance of protecting relationships in the home, and why marriage must not be pushed to the side in the busyness of homeschooling.Chuck explains why humility, unity, and a strong marriage are essential to a healthy family—and why the enemy works so hard to divide us.Sometimes the battle we think matters most… isn't the battle that matters most.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsors:https://BJUPressHomeschool.com - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BJU Press Homeschool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is dedicated to providing homeschool families with academically strong curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview.

What if you want to teach your children to study the Bible—but you don't know how to study it yourself?Kim Sorgius Jones encourages parents who are new Christians, or who simply never learned how to study Scripture, that they don't have to have all the answers before they begin discipling their children.Bible study is a skill that must be learned. Just like prayer, it takes practice, time, and instruction. And sometimes being a newer believer can actually be an advantage—you know what you don't know, so you and your children can learn together.Yvette Hampton and Kim also discuss the heart of Christian homeschooling: discipleship. Teaching our children God's Word isn't ultimately the responsibility of a Sunday school teacher or youth pastor. Parents are called to disciple their children.You can start right where you are.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsors:https://BJUPressHomeschool.com - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BJU Press Homeschool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is dedicated to providing homeschool families with academically strong curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview.

How do we raise children who are emotionally healthy, resilient, and genuinely rooted in Christ?Mary DeMuth says the answer begins with something simple but challenging: modeling an authentic relationship with Jesus.In this excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Mary shares what she learned while raising her children in France, where they attended French schools and encountered a very different cultural environment. Rather than simply relying on their parents' faith, her children had to learn to personally own their relationship with Jesus.Mary and Kristi Clover discuss the importance of authenticity, helping children find Jesus in the middle of difficult circumstances, and teaching them to recognize the difference between what people say and how they actually live.Our goal isn't simply to protect our children from the world. It's to help them develop a genuine faith that can stand when we're not there to guide every decision.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsor:⁠⁠⁠https://libertyhealthshare.org - Liberty HealthShare⁠⁠⁠ is one of the nation’s oldest and largest healthcare sharing ministries, The non-profit is a caring community of health-conscious individuals and families who choose to support one another and agree to the Christian values of stewardship to make healthcare affordable for all.

We've taught our kids to chase success—but what if we've defined success all wrong?Jonathan Brush explains why fame, fortune, and power can never satisfy, and why parents should instead help their children pursue a life of true flourishing and biblical purpose.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsor:⁠⁠⁠https://libertyhealthshare.org - Liberty HealthShare⁠⁠⁠ is one of the nation’s oldest and largest healthcare sharing ministries, The non-profit is a caring community of health-conscious individuals and families who choose to support one another and agree to the Christian values of stewardship to make healthcare affordable for all.

Not every child who struggles with their faith will come to you with a list of questions. Some children become quiet. They internalize their doubts—and parents may never realize what is happening beneath the surface.In this excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast, Chuck Black explains the danger of spiritual disorientation and how an unanswered question can leave a young person struggling with their faith.He shares how parents can recognize hidden doubt, why family devotions should be more than simply checking a box, and how ordinary moments—especially conversations at the dinner table or at bedtime—can become opportunities to discover what is really happening in our children's hearts.Chuck also explains why parents shouldn't be afraid of difficult questions. Instead, we should have the courage to pursue them, study the answers, and walk alongside our children.Your child may not always tell you they're struggling. That's why we need to make space for them to open up.

Spiritual warfare can feel like an uncomfortable or intimidating topic—but Scripture makes it clear that the battle is real. In this powerful conversation, Chuck Black explains why homeschooling families are uniquely positioned on the front lines of spiritual warfare and why the enemy is so intent on attacking the next generation.Hosted by Aby Rinella, this excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast explores how spiritual warfare affects marriages, parent-child relationships, and the faith of our children. Chuck also explains why recognizing the enemy’s strategy is essential if we want our children to grow into bold ambassadors for Christ.The battle is real. The stakes are eternal. And as Christian parents, we need to be prepared.🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.comStream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.comGet your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.comSupport the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/supportSponsors:https://BJUPressHomeschool.com - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BJU Press Homeschool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is dedicated to providing homeschool families with academically strong curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview.
