First Steps to Homeschooling: Choosing Your Path
Fearlessly Different
01/26/23 • 30 min
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost
As homeschoolers, our destination is personal, purposeful, and powerful education, but the path we take to reach our goal is up to us. The time has come in your homeschooling journey to choose your path. Join Nadine in this episode as we explore the many different ways to homeschool in high school. But in the end, the best path for you is based on your skills, past experiences, goals, and interests. And remember, there is no "wrong” way to homeschool, but not everything is going to work for you. Sometimes you have to travel down the wrong road to know which one is right.

From Fear to Faith: Navigating Academic Life as a Christian Student
Fearlessly Different
01/09/25 • 25 min
Our lives as teenagers can often feel like a whirlwind of stress, anxiety, and fear, and for many of us, these emotions can dominate our academic pursuits. When I started college last fall, I let fear drive my every decision, believing it would lead to success. But does living in constant fear really make us better students? Or is there a more fulfilling way to approach our academics?
In this episode, I share my journey of navigating college as a Christian student and reflect on how shifting from fear to faith transformed my perspective. Together, we’ll explore how Christ's love and power can fill us with peace and perseverance, enabling us to shine brightly in our academic lives and beyond.
Tune in and discover a fresh way to approach your studies, rooted in faith and courage

Bringing High School History to Life | Nate Noorlander & The Nomadic Professor
Fearlessly Different
08/17/23 • 42 min
History is a fascinating subject full of drama, suspense, war, courage, and strength, but it can often be presented as boring and unexciting. The Nomadic Professor's high school history curriculum has found a way to bring history to life in an exciting and engaging way: by going on-location. Mr. Noorlander (co-creator of the Nomadic Professor and long time teacher) walks us through the origins of the Nomadic Professor and what makes their on-locations lessons so unique and interactive. Through this interview, we also dive into the importance of critical thinking and how to become an active and engaged learner of history! I left this conversation with so much food for thought and a renewed excitement to learn history and my hope is you will too! You will not want to miss this episode!
