About this Episode

What really keeps kids safe and families strong? Zan’s guest Matthew McDill is a father of nine and homeschool leader who shares how discipleship, Scripture, and everyday hospitality shape healthy homes. Zan and Matthew explore why strong family bonds protect children better than regulation, how to reset when burnout hits, and what matters most when the homeschool years feel heavy. Be encouraged to refocus on what lasts and trust God’s grace for the work before you.

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.
