29: Fear-Setting and Escaping Paralysis + Tuttle Twins Review

May 03, 2021 10:00 - 59 minutes - 40.6 MB

Inaction is such a common enemy to us all when it has to deal with our dreams and vision for our future. A huge common theme to this inaction is fear or negative thinking in the form of a feedback loop. Escaping this paralysis needs to happen if we are going to have any of our dreams realized: whether it's the decision to homeschool our kids or to take the risk to the next path as an entrepreneur. In today's episode, I will be giving some practical lessons that we as parents can do to brea...

27: The Propaganda Machine: Cancel Culture, Vaccination, & Critical Race

March 25, 2021 12:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MB

There are a lot of buzz words flying around the media outlets right now, and I wouldn't even classify them as current events. This is a loop that is reinforced to get the American public to think repeatedly about familiar topics as narratives spin. Regardless of the aims, there have been quite a number of items happening across our nation that need to be addressed. The cancel culture mob is on full steam against anyone trying to take a principled stand on anything. There are plans in mot...

March 17, 2021 12:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MB

2020 taught us a lot of lessons about how things are handled in regards to public life, especially when people in positions of power are trying to keep us "safe." Many people have known for some time that there was an issue in regards to progressive agenda, but others weren't aware as much until 2020 smacked them in the face. This enters into public schooling as well. There have been issues already with the approaches behind schooling, but newer issues that emerged in the last year make it a...

(Originally aired February 17, 2021) All throughout the Bible, God has evidence that He desires His children to be blessed. Poverty is not our portion.

March 03, 2021 02:00 - 41 minutes - 28.2 MB

(Originally aired February 22, 2021) Today, I hit the brakes on the current development of the show. We explored a lot of content so far regarding developing a personal philosophy to what we teach, having goals in place, and systems on how to get there.

(Originally aired January 22, 2021) The model of public schooling is in shambles. Everything that has been attempted for decades, if not centuries has continued to show that something is wrong and it isn't working. Throwing more money at the problem isn't helping either.
