About this Episode

What happens when kids know Bible stories but don’t truly understand God’s Word? Zan Tyler talks with homeschool dad and theologian Renton Rathbun about why systematic Bible teaching is essential for your child’s faith journey. Together, they share how to create a Bible program at home that goes beyond devotionals and helps your children stand firm in today’s culture. You’ll hear practical ideas and encouragement to build a lasting foundation—one that shapes your homeschool and your family for generations to come.

Podcast Sponsor

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.
