About this Episode

Do you ever feel lonely as a homeschool parent? Zan and her dear friend Heidi St. John have a heart-to-heart conversation about the invaluable benefits of building community. Heidi shares how she went from being a lonely mom who came into homeschooling kicking and screaming to founding thriving homeschool co-ops and resource centers across North America. Zan and Heidi discuss the power of perseverance, prayer, and vision for creating spaces where families can flourish. Heidi’s story reminds us that God works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things for His glory when we’re willing to step out in faith.

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.
