About this Episode

How do you protect your children without clinging too tightly? Zan and Meeke Addison, homeschool mom of six (soon to be seven), talk through the daily tension of raising children anchored in Christ while preparing them to engage a culture that often pushes back against biblical truth. They wrestle with the pressures of social media, the challenge of releasing children as they grow, and the importance of trusting the Holy Spirit more than our own control. Meeke also shares how BJU Press Homeschool has come alongside her family, reducing the overwhelm, and providing a solid biblical worldview woven throughout their curriculum. Discover how to parent with conviction and grace—holding firm to truth while placing your children in God’s hands.

Meet My Guest

Meeke Addison is wife to Wil and mom to their six children. Meeke is a New Orleans native with over 20 years of ministry experience. After serving as a missionary alongside her husband, she worked with the ministry of American Family Radio from 2007-2023. Her work with AFR began in 2007 as a stay-at- home mom in Louisiana, when she accepted an invitation to co-host a local AFR morning show. In 2008, the Addison family of four moved from Louisiana to Mississippi to join the ministry of AFA full-time until 2023.

Meeke is a conference speaker, women’s teacher, and author. As a pro-family activist, she keeps a close eye on politics, pop culture, and the Church. Meeke focuses on equipping everyday Christians to effectively engage and transform culture. Her mission is calling Christians to make sound connections between cultural/political activism and Biblical conviction.

Meeke co-hosts the Culture Proof Podcast alongside her husband, Wil. Of all the roles Meeke fills, the most important are wife to Wil and mother and chief educator of their six children. The kitchen table must be big enough to handle daily life and robust discipleship!

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.
