Embracing Homeschooling as a Path of Discipleship
Featuring Guest Cherelle German from Embracing Homeschooling
In today’s fast-paced culture, education can often feel like a competitive race—grades, deadlines, benchmarks. But for many Christian families, homeschooling offers a different way forward. It’s not merely an academic alternative—it’s a calling. A call to slow down, lean in, and view learning through the lens of discipleship.
The Heartbeat of Home Education
At its core, homeschooling is not just about what children know—it’s about who they are becoming. As Cherelle German beautifully shared in our recent podcast episode, “It’s not just about academics; it’s about shaping character and instilling a love for learning.” When we bring our children home, we aren’t just offering them an education—we’re inviting them into a lifestyle of growth, grace, and gospel truth.
A Curriculum of Faith
One of the unique blessings of homeschooling is the freedom to weave Scripture and spiritual formation into everyday lessons. Whether it’s reading aloud Proverbs during breakfast, serving together in the community, or applying biblical wisdom to history and literature discussions, faith is not a subject tacked on—it is the foundation. This intentional integration forms the bedrock of discipleship-based learning, nurturing both the mind and the spirit.
More Than School—It’s Family Discipleship
Homeschooling creates space for deeper family relationships. As Cherelle shared, “We learn together, pray together, and grow together.” The home becomes a place not only of instruction but of connection. It’s where questions are asked and answered in love, where rhythms of grace are established, and where the hearts of parents and children are knit closer together in daily life.
