Episode 31: Dreaming of a Christian Homeschool Community? Why Going it Alone is Not Working and What to Do Instead.

Are you homeschooling on your own and wish you had a community of believers to do life with? Do you desire deep relationships but have not found them in your neighborhood, or even at your church?  Are your kids feeling isolated and settling for hanging out with kids just because they are in the neighborhood, but not because they are good friends?
In this episode, we want to explore what you should find in a Christian homeschool community.  And if something like this doesn’t exist near you, rest assured you are not the only one who is looking for it! Maybe you are being called to start something so that you and your children can thrive in your homeschooling!
Hebrews 10: 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
