Today Professor Owen Strachan (IG: @profstrachan) and I are specifically addressing our role in the lives of our sons and husbands as we engage in the war on men that is raging in our culture. This war is very real and one that we must win because the future of society depends on it, but it's an uphill battle and we need regular doses of encouragement and that’s what you’re going to find on today’s episode!

Do you find it challenging to parent your special needs child? Do you find yourself confused about how to discipline him or her since it seems that they need to be handled differently than your other children?
Are we as parents so distracted with our kids’ weaknesses and needs that we forget what God has called us to when it comes to biblical parenting?
(This episode is a great reminder whether you have special needs kids or not.)

Do you ask your kids lots of questions? This is one of the best things I did with our kids as we raised and homeschooled them.
We have an unusual opportunity to really know our kids and gather important information that can help us guide, direct, teach, and encourage them.
In today’s episode, we will be drilling down on both the importance of asking questions and ways to do that.

Have ever wondered how to truly instill in your child the truth about who God is?
A person’s view of God affects their entire life.
The view of God that our kids have will likely determine whether they will embrace biblical Christianity for themselves or not. Imparting this knowledge is an essential, not optional part of parenting our kids in the faith.
But what does that look like with feet on the ground? Where do we start? How young do we start?
Today I’ve invited Elizabeth Urbanowicz from Foundation Worldview to answer these and other questions.

We have all been repeatedly told that the traditional college setting is the only path to success but the truth is that it is all but obsolete. Only one of our kids went the college route, but all have been successful with or without college. I have a series of podcast episodes where I interviewed each of our grown kids who shared their journey after high school. (I’ll leave links below.)
This year, I’ve spoken at 9 homeschool conferences and I’ve noticed more and more alternatives being offered for high school graduates so I decided to start a series of episodes I will share periodically called, "College Alternatives"!
My guest today is Colonel Jesse Boulden from Alert Academy!

Where Our Homeschool Kids Are Now:
After this episode, I got clarification on whether there is any association with Bill Gothard. Here is what Alert Academy told me:
- We were started by Ron Fuhrman, who was on staff with IBLP at the time ALERT was started
- We became a separate 501(c)(3) organization in the early 2000s
- We still rent our campus from IBLP
- We do not use any IBLP materials in any phase of our training, and have not for years
- If anyone has any questions about our history or current relationship with IBLP, they can email us at alert@alertacademy.com and we'd be more than happy to talk to them
