Terrie McKee | Ep. 118

About this Episode

What does faith look like in the face of devastating trauma? Terrie McKee shares her remarkable journey of homeschooling children with autism, dyslexia, and ADHD while navigating both an abusive first marriage and a violent shooting that left her second husband paralyzed. From seeing her daughter advance three grade levels in reading within months to helping her adult son with autism live independently, Terrie has witnessed the way individualized homeschool instruction can transform learning challenges into opportunities. Zan and Terrie, in their conversation about homeschooling with unshakeable faith, explore how focusing on Christ and adapting education during crisis situations enables families to not just survive but thrive through difficult circumstances.

At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
