About this Episode

When Lucinda, Tammy Wood’s 5-year-old daughter, heard a medical doctor who had visited orphanages in China and saw the pictures he shared of the children there, she declared to her mom, “You must go to China and get those children!” Lucinda enlisted her older sister to pray with her, and eight years later the Woods adopted their first daughter from China. They adopted four more Asian children during the course of the next several years. Join Zan and Tammy for this inspiring conversation about the Wood family’s adoption story, their homeschooling journey, and the amazing faithfulness of God.

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.
