Episode 8: Education Revolution Outside of the Classroom
“There’s a revolution transforming education and it’s NOT happening in the classroom!” Join me as I have a conversation with Garritt Hampton about homeschooling and its critical importance for preserving our nation, the church, and the Christian family.
Garrit Hampton and his wife Yvette have a passion for strengthening and equipping families and the homeschool community by teaching parents how to live out their convictions and point their children towards Christ. In the fall of 2016, their family sold their home and most of their belongings, loaded up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked to tell the stories that represent the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution.

Episode 10: Re-establishing Dad’s Role as Family Shepherd
In this episode, Caleb Stomberg joins me for a discussion about the role of fathers as the shepherds and spiritual leaders of their homes. Caleb shares Biblical wisdom and practical tips for fathers seeking to reclaim this vital role in their families, even if you feel ill-equipped to do so. It’s time to re-establish Dad’s role as family shepherd and pass on a robust faith to the next generation!
Caleb Stomberg is the pastor of Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in Northwestern Minnesota. He and his wife Lindsey are blessed with seven children. Together they host the website and podcast located at ReformedFaithandFamily.com, dedicated to equipping Christian parents to disciple their children in the faith. They just finished a series on the podcast relating to the Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life; and Lord-willing, they plan to start a new series soon about having a “Kingdom Mindset” and raising the next generation of disciples well by reforming our worldview to reflect more of God's Word and less of the “spirit of the age.”
