About this Episode
Wil Addison didn’t begin homeschooling as the dad who taught lessons, but over time, he discovered just how much his presence mattered.
Zan Tyler talks with this father of seven and co-host of the Culture Proof Podcast about discipleship, fatherhood, the growth of homeschooling in the Black community, and becoming more actively involved in his children’s education. Wil shares how simply asking his wife, “What can I do to help?” changed his role at home. Together, he and Zan encourage fathers to be present, seize the moments, and remember that discipleship starts at home.

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.
