About this Episode

What can four years of meaningful homeschool conversations mean for the families listening along the way?

As the Zan Tyler Podcast celebrates its fourth anniversary, Zan looks back on some of the voices and moments that have encouraged parents to keep going, trust God, and remember the extraordinary influence they have in their children’s lives. Guests including Kirk Cameron, Heidi St. John, Todd Wilson, Ginny Yurich, Mike Farris, Meeke Addison, and others have shared wisdom about building a biblical worldview, finding joy in difficult seasons, embracing the freedom and flexibility of homeschooling, and trusting God with each child’s unique path.

Again and again, these conversations remind us of the lasting impact of homeschooling. Parents are shaping hearts and minds, building strong relationships, discipling their children, and persevering through both the hard days and the joyful ones.

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.
