About this Episode
How did one family’s decision to homeschool their developmentally delayed son in 1988 lead to leadership in the global homeschooling movement? Gerald Huebner shares his journey from homeschool novice to international advocate. He and his wife Bev homeschooled their two children, and founded local and provincial homeschool organizations in Canada, eventually expanding their influence through HSLDA Canada and the Global Home Education Exchange. Gerald offers insights on starting homeschool support groups and navigating worldwide homeschooling challenges. Zan and Gerald reflect on their shared experiences, including speaking at international homeschooling conferences together. Listeners will be inspired by Gerald’s commitment to homeschool freedom and his global efforts to support and encourage home educating families.

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.
