When it comes to raising kids in faith, I’ve learned that what we surround them with matters — the conversations, the examples they see, and yes, even the books on our shelves. Over the years, we’ve slowly built a collection of Christian kids’ books that have become more than just stories — they’ve been starting points for big conversations, moments of wonder, and reminders of who God is.

When podcasts first started gaining popularity, I avoided them like the plague. Growing up, my dad loved talk radio—and I hated it. The idea of listening to people talk endlessly while driving sounded absolutely unbearable. Then I had children. And as it turns out, there is something worse than political talk on a long drive: kids screaming and fighting in the back seat. Sure, the Frozen soundtrack helped... for a while. But eventually, even “Let It Go” lost its magic.

Want to homeschool but think your space is just too small? Think again. We’re now in our seventh year of homeschooling, and we’ve learned one thing for sure: learning doesn’t depend on square footage. From a dining room table to an RV, we’ve tried it all—and the outcome has always been the same: we get to do life with our children while watching them learn and grow.
