A reflective conversation with Shanna's Mum, Sandy, about the journey of homeschooling 4 children. One of our podcasts taglines is education. Education can be achieved in many different ways and today we decided to start the conversation around this with a homeschooling mum's experience. Hear practical tips, what went well, what didn't, and how she felt called to this method for her family.
We would love to hear your experiences too! Are you a parent navigating this season? A young person reflecting on your growing up years and how you would do things differently? Or an older, more experienced person with thoughts on what went well and what didn't? We would love to hear from you! Thanks for tuning in.

This week Ian and Shanna unpack the story of a Biblical character who moved forward in faith. Yet one instance of fear made him despondent and run. We are told: “Had he remained, he would have been shielded from harm” and the reformation that had been long prayed for, would have come.
Listen in to hear who this is referring to and how we can apply it to our own lives!

Darrel found himself walking around the house one day and all of a sudden his mind went to the topic of future events. This led him and his wife on a study through the Bible and other helpful resources to find out how they could be best prepared. Country living was a main thing God led the Dinero family to and a key verse on their journey is found in Isaiah 18:32:
"My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places."
Join us as Darrel shares their journey of coming to their very own peaceful habitation--but not without some challenges along the way!

A few pullout quotes from this week! Practical, thought-provoking content on how to live out faith based decision making.
"Faith is the furthest thing from me leaping in the dark."
"God is not looking to force us, but volunteers who like His principles."
"The mistake is to hear that we are meant to move into the country and then quickly drive a vehicle of stuff out and then not know what to do."
"In your organisation, don’t organise to see if you can, organise to see how you can."
"When people said Jesus, they knew Him as the man from Capernaum. Not because He liked cities, but He liked the people in the city."

Join us as we journey through Rum’s story as a successful businessman in London, and back to Australia where he started to feel that he didn’t belong living the rat-race where he was. Six months into fasting a day a week, things opened up and God started to show this family more of His plan for their lives. But it didn’t end there!
