As a mother and home educator, you are standing on holy ground. Motherhood and homeschooling is a calling. They come with many blessings and challenges. In this week's episode, Carrie shares how to dig deep into God's Word and how to study the Bible using the 3 Question Method. All that is needed is a Bible, a notebook, and a pen and highlighter.
