Homeschooling Today – Part 2
Too many parents are under the impression that education is simply reading, writing, and arithmetic. On today's edition of Family Talk, Jay and Heidi St. John, who have homeschooled their seven kids, declare that education is never neutral! Dr. James Dobson concludes his discussion with the St. Johns, founders of Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center. They insist that there is always a worldview being taught, but is it one with integrity and honor? In Luke 6:40, Jesus said, "Everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher." That is why Heidi wants to equip her kids with a biblical worldview, so they know why they believe what they believe.

Homeschooling Today – Part 1
No one knows your kids better than you do, so who better to teach them? Maybe you don’t think of yourself as a teacher and the thought of homeschooling sounds too difficult. Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with Jay and Heidi St. John, who homeschooled their seven kids and founded Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center. They share three keys to a successful schooling model: flexibility, the one-on-one tutorial model, and a vision of Christian discipleship. The results? On average, kids who are homeschooled test three grade levels higher than their public school peers.

Let the Buyer Beware – Part 2
The average American family is burdened by massive debt, often due to foolish decisions they’ve made with their money. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues addressing the subject of financial stability with author and national radio host, Dave Ramsey. Dave describes how to live within ones means, and highlights the distinction between a want and a need. He quotes 1 Timothy 6:6-7 which says, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.” Dave reminds us to have a proper perspective about material things and the contentment that can only be found in Christ Jesus.
