Does homeschooling in high school feel like a leap you’re not ready to take?
Zan Tyler and veteran homeschool mom Beth Martin talk through the doubts parents often carry into the high school years and show how much possibility lies beyond them.

How quickly can homeschool freedom disappear?
Zan Tyler and Caleb Price examine two headline-making developments in Connecticut and New Hampshire that reveal just how quickly homeschool laws can change. They also discuss why discipleship remains at the heart of homeschooling and the responsibility parents have to steward freedom well. As they reflect on the future of home education, Zan and Caleb highlight why homeschool graduates continue to demonstrate the academic, leadership, and character qualities our culture desperately needs. Freedom is never guaranteed. It must be understood, protected, and passed on to the next generation.

How can homeschooling parents persevere in building community in the midst of daunting challenges? In today’s conversation, Zan Tyler and Janie Gibson encourage parents to weather these obstacles in order to provide their children the opportunity to experience the joy of community and the heart of homeschool connection. As Janie shares candid stories about launching co-ops in various locations and Zan reflects on starting one of South Carolina's first homeschool fine arts co-ops, they offer understanding and practical wisdom about navigating barriers and learning to trust God's timing. From calling dozens of churches to find meeting spaces for co-ops to learning to support the unique interests of children in group settings, these women agree that the effort pales in comparison to the joy children can find in community when their parents have a heart for connecting families with each other. Successful homeschooling isn't always about having a huge community, but rather finding a meaningful community, even if that involves just "a buddy or two" to journey alongside.

Growing up, Nathan Pierce had a strong dislike for math and sitting still. His parents were undaunted. Because they homeschooled, they could build plenty of time into Nathan’s school days to play, be outside, and to build things. One year Nathan constructed a working drawbridge for a treefort he and his mother had built together. Through this, Nathan began to learn the importance and usefulness of math. As he grew older, he started his own firewood business–and through serving customers, employing his friends, and keeping the books, he learned even more about this crucial skill. Nathan thought he would always work outdoors, and yet God led him in a totally different direction and put him in a position of promoting homeschool freedom. Tune in to hear Zan and Nathan discuss how homeschooling uniquely prepared him for life, career, family, and following God.

Homeschooling and Character Training Go Hand-in-Hand (Part 2) | Dr. Kathy Koch | Ep. 071
Join Dr. Kathy Koch and Zan as they discuss why character training is so important in the lives of our children. As Dr. Kathy says, “Character matters, and it determines destiny.” At the basis of character training is the commitment to know our children, to study them–and understand what their strengths and weaknesses are, what makes them feel alive and what discourages them. Kids have to feel known. They have to feel visible and acknowledged in our space for who they are. It's so significant. This is the bedrock of excellent parenting–and excellent parenting leads to excellent homeschooling. You're sure to be encouraged by this uplifting conversation!

Michelle Moody | The Transformational Power of Following Your Child's Interests | Episode 018
This podcast is devoted to encouraging you in your homeschooling journey through conversations with amazing homeschool leaders and advocates. Today I have the privilege of talking with Mike Donnelly. I have known Mike and his wife Patti for many years, and he truly is a man of many talents. He is intensely committed to his family, homeschooling, freedom, parental rights, and the international homeschooling community. He is the husband of one, father of seven, an attorney, published author, and adjunct professor!
As Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize, she was asked, “What can we do to contribute to world peace?” Her reply, “Go home and love your family.” In this vital conversation with Mike Donnelly, attorney and homeschool dad of seven, we discuss how homeschooling builds strong families, which builds strong churches, strong cultures, and strong countries. We must remember our history and fight the battle to preserve homeschool freedom for our children’s children.

Tauna Meyer | Daily Do’s and Loopty Loos | Episode 015
Tauna Meyer is with me today and you are going to love her and be encouraged in your homeschooling journey as you listen. Tauna homeschools six amazing, messy, loud, beautiful children (her words not mine). We can all relate to that! She has been encouraging moms for years through her Proverbial Homemaker ministry. And as a side note, before motherhood, she was a software systems analyst. Besides homeschooling, Tauna and I have two interesting things in common: Chocolate is a primary food group, and we both entered adulthood with zero homemaking and cooking skills.
Tauna Meyer is a self-proclaimed Type B homeschool mom. God has created each of us uniquely, and Tauna is proof positive that being super structured doesn’t work for everyone. In this episode, Tauna gives an overview of the very practical approach of loop scheduling. You’ll be refreshed knowing God cares about the details and will help you build a homeschool routine that works well naturally for your family and is far more sustainable and enjoyable, too!

Welcome to the Zan Tyler Podcast. I’m your host, Zan Tyler, and I'm so glad you’re here for this very first episode!
I am doing this podcast because I loved the 21 years I spent homeschooling my own kids—and because homeschooling works. It works academically—the test scores demonstrate it. College admissions counselors, military recruiters, and employers are actively pursuing homeschool graduates.
But even more importantly, I believe that the process of homeschooling strengthens our families—as we learn together, serve others together, worship together, and just have fun together.
Whether it has been starting state or local organizations to provide support for moms and dads, lobbying for good laws, working with publishers to develop robust resources that support our faith, or speaking around the country on homeschooling. My heart’s desire is to encourage, inspire, and equip you for what can be the most rewarding adventure of your life—and the most challenging!
It is such a privilege to welcome Ginny Yurich as my first podcast guest! Ginny is a speaker, podcaster, and author of 1000 Hours Outside. This episode has the power to revolutionize your homeschool. Have you been looking for ways to cut down on screen time and add joy to your day? This episode is chock full of helpful suggestions. You’ll learn how being outside can be life-changing for your child academically, socially, and spiritually.
As you start a new school year, Ginny gives you hope that your homeschool can be filled with a sense of adventure and wonder.
